Hi, my dd has challenged me to find a famous Actress, Instrumentalist, Dancer, Singer, Singing Diva (has to be on the stage) who has stayed on top of her game post dc?

She is sure there is nobody and it's her argument for not having kids, she's only a teen and realistically could change her mind.

I know it's nothing to do with me but I want to inform properly, it will be up to her and her biological clock when she is older.
I have been a sahm for 30 years and have absolutely no regrets at all, but I was never going to be world class at anything, and had free choice.

So to try and get a good balance and because when we have discussions she can still talk me into a bloody corner, would love to hear any suggestions.
No presenters or tv celeb judges btw, they are all great but a different category.

So, you'd let your dd continue believing that she couldn't reach the level she wanted to and have children, or would you open the discussion when she talks about it.Perhaps I should shut her up entirely and ignore her comments? Of course I have an agenda, it's called education.Don't mothers engage in discussion with their daughters?

Do you enlist the help of others for every subject you disagree on?

You've said she's an intelligent girl but you think she can't she be trusted to look into one of the more important decisions that she will ever make at some point? Not buying it. My answer to that comment to a teenager would be to google it because it's very obviously false I wouldn't be out trying to prove her wrong.

A few tv actresses - Jane Leeves (? From frasier), Julia Lewis Dreyfus

And Amy Poehler and Tina Fey, both (I think) had kids whilst starring in / writing / producing Parks and Rec and 30 Rock, as did Jenna Fischer in The Office.
