Most children, at least to some extent model what they see growing up. </p> <p>In general I wasn't thrilled with how they defined success but thought it was interesting none the less </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/study-children-of-working-mothers#post-2361826 Wed, 18 Nov 2015 15:45:30 +0000 daniellemybelle 2361826@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@raspberries: @Maysprout: @Eko: @turquoisemama: Agree with all of you. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/study-children-of-working-mothers#post-2361823 Wed, 18 Nov 2015 15:44:04 +0000 Cherrybee 2361823@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would be very interested to see how happy the grown up children are in this study, alongside how "successful". I want my daughter to be happy in her future. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/study-children-of-working-mothers#post-2361779 Wed, 18 Nov 2015 15:11:24 +0000 Kemma 2361779@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Interesting article but I suspect it's just kids modelling what they grew up with. For example, a child of a working mother places higher value on work simply because that's what's been modelled for them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/study-children-of-working-mothers#post-2361738 Wed, 18 Nov 2015 14:54:16 +0000 looch 2361738@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think it's a really interesting article, I'd love to read the study. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/study-children-of-working-mothers#post-2361733 Wed, 18 Nov 2015 14:51:29 +0000 Aimed121 2361733@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Just waiting on the study about children of working fathers to compare the effects of their working outside the home on their children...waiting, waiting, waiting........ :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/study-children-of-working-mothers#post-2361705 Wed, 18 Nov 2015 14:36:21 +0000 Raindrop 2361705@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It was an interesting read. As a WOHM I hope I raise caring sons. I hope they are caring because I raised them that way, but magically being caring because I work is great too.</p> <p>I think even though this article said there is statistically significant at the 99% level, there are still too many factors that cause a person to be “successful” or not… or “caring” or not. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/study-children-of-working-mothers#post-2361701 Wed, 18 Nov 2015 14:33:46 +0000 jlm22 2361701@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Maysprout: Yes. This.</p> <p>@turquoisemama: Agreed! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/study-children-of-working-mothers#post-2361689 Wed, 18 Nov 2015 14:29:13 +0000 turquoisemama 2361689@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yeah I agree with PP, why is it better for a woman to be successful in the work force but not as a mother? And why is it better for the sons to be more caring? Isn't being a caring mother just as important? I'm sure that being a loving parent with children who are healthy and cared for is more important than the mothers work status. Both working and non working mothers are capable of raising well-adjusted, successful children. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/study-children-of-working-mothers#post-2361687 Wed, 18 Nov 2015 14:28:29 +0000 Eko 2361687@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think the study is interesting, but not at all surprising. I agree that the title of the article isn't very appropriate...certainly success isn't just defined to working. However, since children often model after their parents, I don't find it terribly surprising. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/study-children-of-working-mothers#post-2361674 Wed, 18 Nov 2015 14:17:22 +0000 Maysprout 2361674@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think they have an interesting view of successful. If my kids stayed at home to raise kids id consider them successful. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/study-children-of-working-mothers#post-2361621 Wed, 18 Nov 2015 13:42:43 +0000 jlm22 2361621@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>IMO, it's a load of crap. My mom was SAHM to me, 2 sisters and brother. We all couldn't be more different. I could care less about a career. One of my sisters (4 kids) was very successful and made 6 figures until she decided to stay at home with her boys. My other sister (2 kids) just went back to school to get her doctorate. My brother (2 kids) is successful and caring, so....<br /> PS - I didn't read the whole article :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/study-children-of-working-mothers#post-2361614 Wed, 18 Nov 2015 13:39:03 +0000 raspberries 2361614@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I thought this was super interesting! My only issue is that it basically defines success for women as having a higher income and being in a supervisory position. Which isn't really my idea of success at all, and moreover, implies being a stay at home mom or not in a supervisory position is being unsuccessful in life. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/study-children-of-working-mothers#post-2361565 Wed, 18 Nov 2015 13:19:45 +0000 mrswin 2361565@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I thought this was an interesting article about the study done by Harvard Business School.</p> <p><a href="http://qz.com/434056/working-moms-have-more-successful-daughters-and-more-caring-sons-harvard-business-school-study-says/" rel="nofollow">http://qz.com/434056/working-moms-have-more-successful-daughters-and-more-caring-sons-harvard-business-school-study-says/</a></p> <p>Thoughts? </p>
