“So then I decided, SCREW THIS!” . . — My mom, “I needed a wife” (2020) . . Check out my new INTERVIEW titled “I needed a wife”, now up on my website msyoungprofessional.com, where my mom shares what it was like to be pregnant and work full-time in the nineties, forgo her income for seven weeks during unpaid maternity leave, wear pants to an office that didn’t allow women to wear pants, find the courage to ask for paid maternity leave during her second pregnancy only to be ghosted by her employer — AND — how things FINALLY improved for working mothers at her office, but only AFTER my mom became fed up and left. ❤️ Link in bio! . . . #vulnerablepost #mymom #interview #pregnancystory #1990s #workingmoms #ineedawife #mothersdaypost #pregnancyjourney #pregnancyblog #maternityleave #timesup #womenwhowrite #invisiblewomen #genderequality #genderequalityNOW
