Enough with the mom shaming. Judging a parent's worth or contribution based on arbitrary time expectations and antiquated ideas of conventional roles is not worthy of the world we have become. Each person and family should choose what is right for them, but leave your judgement at your front door. Children need to feel loved and safe, and there is no rule that dictates how much time that takes or in what form. I get countless messages from your girls doubting their own goals because they believe it means they are selfish, and won't be able to have a family. Do your best, live your life authentically and with purpose, love your children, and I promise you, that is enough. #womeninmedicine #neurosurgerylife #neurosurgeon #workingmoms #womensupportingwomen
