The morning of my daughter’s first school play I had an appointment1. It was a meeting with a prospective client about a contract that would potentially pay the mortgage for three months.2
I went to the play, getting a seat in the front row. I even brought my mum along in case it overran3. But, not wanting to be late for my appointment, I crept to the back just before the end so I could make a quick getaway.4 My daughter, who was just three at the time, noticed my empty seat and started to cry.
Cue commotion from the other mothers.5 Where had I gone? From my vantage point just outside the doorway, I heard one say loudly and disapprovingly：6 “She’s gone to work.” I watched as some of the others tutted7 and rolled their eyes.
My stomach went cold. Was it really so terrible to have a career and be a mum? I was reminded of this when I learned I was going to be travelling overseas for work twice next month. The timing could be better but as a self-employed writer and PR coach I have to take opportunities when they come along.8
But pretty much9 every time I travel abroad for work, I end up having conversations like this：
Female friend： “But don’t you feel guilty about leaving your daughter?”
Me： “Not really. I’ll miss her lot, but she’ll be with her dad. I suspect they’ll enjoy a bit of quality time together, cooking dinners and watching films I don’t like.”10
Female friend： “You’re very brave. I don’t think I could leave mine.”
I expect to hear variations of such comments numerous times over the coming weeks.11 I share this because it troubles me that at a time when more mothers are working outside the home （which is a good thing, right?） there seems to be a widespread belief that there should be constraints around the way they work.12
It’s OK for a mum to have a job—as long as it’s part-time, fits around the school run or means she doesn’t have to leave the school play early or fly to the other side of the world now and again to earn a crust.13 It’s a belief that seems particularly worrying when you consider that, according to the IPPR, a third of Britain’s working mothers are the main earners in their family （and “low earners” to boot）.14
It also worries me that women are dishing out15 judgment on other women. I’m only speaking from my own experience, but I’ve not been questioned by a single man about my decision to work abroad a few times a year. “Lucky you！ Send us a postcard,” is the typical response.
