Today, Rossi is dying of emphysema and Nina is a single mother. Nina Rossi says her mother's career left her feeling neglected, and today, the women struggle with their divided past.
The conversation was about the role of her career on her daughter's life, and it kinda well stuck with me.
I was a latch key kid in my junior high and high school years. And, often was responsible for the care of my younger sister.
I've worked part time or full time for the duration of my kids life. This year I've been home, cooking meals, making their beds and pushing the vacuum around the house.
I am working from home, but its a part time gig and I am able to work around my kid's schedule...
It's silly as I have become a mom who works for pocket money. When folks ask me what I'm doing, it's hard to explain because frankly, its not really valued as much as a high powered job as a doctor or attorney.world.
Something about the piece really hit a sore spot and a chord of discomfort. It's not easy trying to do it all, and I've always felt well, a bit guilty working and this ongoing mommy vs work guilt has caused me to make some pretty crummy career choices over the past couple of years.
But recently, I've felt some peace with my current decision because, well it just feels good to be around for the kids, helping with homework and placing a square meal on the table at night.
I had a lunch meeting at the Alta Club yesterday and someone who influential around town.... He has become a mentor and friend asked me to keep placing myself forward in the community because well, I dunno, I am simply a women who actually reads the paper.
Perhaps I've changed. Or at least, taken a step back for a while.
Enjoy the piece and tell me how you juggle it all. Or not.
