How could I pass up those opportunities? Do I even have the right to deprive moviegoers of those experiences? These are the baby-versus-work life questions that keep me up at night. I want to. I must. Of course not. I should try immediately. I get up to go to the bathroom and study myself in the mirror. Do I look like someone who should be pregnant? I look good for forty, but I have the quaggy jawline and hollow cheeks of a mom, not a pregnant lady.
This decision cannot be delayed. Also, what if she turns on me? I am pretty hard to like. I need a backup. She must have a sibling. Hollywood be damned. Let me clarify. What about her for this part? We had her on the show once. She was a crazy assache.
She wanted to see her lines ahead of time. She had all these questions. I know older men in comedy who can barely feed and clean themselves, and they still work. Fey is a role model. People want to know how she manages. And, though it pains me to say, Fey is also something of a hypocrite here. She totally exploits the balance dilemma in her ad campaign for American Express. Nooyi, who, like Barra, is the first female chief executive of her company. Nooyi has a clear-eyed take on the family costs when mom also happens to run a major corporation.
But really, she could be speaking for any married woman who has a demanding job and kids. And every day you have to make a decision about whether you are going to be a wife or a mother, in fact many times during the day you have to make those decisions.
And you have to co-opt a lot of people to help you…. We plan our lives meticulously so we can be decent parents. This is not the standard self-deprecation of a busy parent. This is a honest admission about how our children think about their working mothers. What does her daughter remember? The one dance recital her mother missed. Nooyi told a funny story about how, after being promoted to company president, she left work early at 10 p.
Her mother greeted her at the door, and sent her out for milk. She came home from the errand and angrily slammed the milk down. Her mother was unmoved.
You might be on the board of directors. My standard answer is that I have the same struggle as any working parent but with the good fortune to be working at my dream job. That a girl would aspire to be the Little Mermaid, a beautiful redhead with no legs who waits for her prince! Who literally gives up her voice! What are we doing? What is going on? What do you do?
