Hello, I rarely venture on these boards for fear that people will vilify me for being a sahm for so long. I'm working now as it suits me and family to do so.
So with this in mind I always used to think that I hadn't set dd a good work ethic (nor her brothers), how would they grow up? Had I done them a disservice by not working.
I'm sure it's about what you teach your children than rather what you do yourself.
Both my ds and dd can cook, do housework inc laundry and ironing.
They can work together as a team to get chores done. In fact the boys are older and much better than dd.
Anyway, I have managed to raise a dd who questions everything traditionally male, especially within music which is her chosen career.
She has made such a fuss and called teachers sexist for not allowing her to audition for the solo popular Christmas song usually sung by a choir boy, that they let her go for it and she got it. 
Her view, why can't a girl do it?
My point is due to so many women pushing through glass ceilings and having great careers, something I've never been interested in for myself I believed people when they said I wasn't setting a good example to my dd and worried about her future.
I really needn't have worried she is doing fine, just like many other girls/ women joining male dominated professions.
I know there is still a fight to be won in some industries/ vocations, but does anybody else feel that today's girls are finding it easier than we did and questioning more often?
