I have been asked one question more times than I can count.
“Who is watching your kids?”
It is rarely asked out of curiosity. It is usually asked as a challenge. A quiet implication that motherhood and ambition cannot coexist. That if I was serious about my career, I must be failing as a mother. Or vice versa.
That question followed me into law school.
At the beginning of my first year, I was called into the dean’s office. I had one child at home. I was pregnant with my second. My partner was deployed to Iraq.
I was told, directly, that I would probably fail law school. That the demands would be too much. That it was more appropriate for a mother to be at home. That continuing was a mistake.
I did not leave law school.
I stayed. I worked. I survived cold calls, finals, pregnancy, solo parenting, and the constant undercurrent of doubt placed on women who dare to want both.
Three years later, I graduated with a dual degree.
The same dean who told me I would fail had to hand me my diploma.
I had just given birth to my third child the week before graduation.
So when people ask me now who is watching my kids, the answer is simple.
I am.
And I am also watching the life I built when I refused to accept someone else’s limits.
This is what it looks like when women are underestimated and keep going anyway.
Save this for the days someone questions you.
I can’t see myself ever canceling evening plans even when I have an early morning. That early morning pilates though ✌🏼 #attorneylife #nightowl #social 🦋
