Leaning In and Leaning Out: I'm Okay With That

Recently, Sheryl Sandberg, Facebook COO, came out with a book encouraging women to "lean in" to their careers and feel free to "lean out" of typical mother family roles. I'm okay with that.

 

I haven't read Lean In: Women, Work, and the Will to Lead yet, but I'm chomping at the bit to get my hands on it. And this is from a woman who usually bakes her kids' birthday cakes from scratch, and even sewed her daughter a bib for her first birthday. (My husband warned me I was setting the bar too high, and he was right! My second got a Stop & Shop cake and forgotten in the kitchen on his first birthday.)

Check out my latest blog post, and let me know what you think. Whatever your opinion, though, I think it's important that all us moms remember we're on the same side - trying to raise our children the best we can. We just have different opinions on what that means.

I would suggest to parents to donate a book to the classroom or school library in their child's nameRead More to celebrate the child's birthday, or other significant event, instead of sending in cupcakes or other sweets.
