High Tech Manager Refuses to Let Her Kids Get in the Way of Success, Family Demands She Quit Her Job and Become a Full Time Mom

Women are supposed to have it all—a prosperous career, a family, a gorgeous home, and everything in between.

In the story that follows, a successful manager of cyber security engineering, mother of one, prepares to become a mother again in the near future. OP is a woman who appears to have everything: a wonderful spouse, a successful career, a stunning child, plus a baby on the way. For OP, all seems to be going as planned, theoretically speaking. However, now that she is expecting her second child, she is beginning to feel pressured by close relatives to give up her work and become a full-time stay-at-home mother. Therefore, when OP's mother-in-law brought up the subject a third time, OP lost it and reminded everyone that her salary had kept the family afloat for years while her husband was a medical resident, so the least they could do was honor her ambition to advance in her career.

Having said that, read the story below to find out what happened when OP opened up about her genuine feelings and whether or not she gave up on her career due to social pressures!
