I know nothing about this woman yet applaud her decision and thank CBB for bringing me this story. I’m currently wrestling with the same questioning of my values – and at the same time I’m reading a great book about women’s career choices, The Sexual Paradox (by Susan Pinker), which really brings home to me that not all women can have kids AND a high achieving career. My financial reality is that I need to work, and in the past I enjoyed my career, but now that I have my son, work feels hollow and I don’t want to be without him. Fiona Philips is for me yet another reminder of what is true and authentic and important in my life. I feel bad for Fiona that she probably had a lot of heartache on the way to finding out that “I want to be 100 percent professional, 100 percent wife, mother, daughter and you cannot do it all, you really, really can’t.” I feel the same, and for me, personally, I think she’s made the wise choice. It’s just a shame that it has to BE a choice.
