We’ve started trying and it’s been hard to stay optimistic about the future of my career if I decide to become a mom. We won’t have much help. How do you manage when you have to travel for shoots/work? Especially longer ones that require you to be gone weeks at a time? Is it inevitable that you have to pass on opportunities? How do you handle agency demands (especially those in the creative field)? I go back and forth as to whether or not motherhood is meant for me/if I’m able to handle it.

For what it’s worth being a mom has helped me enormously in my career. I have two kids and I feel like it has only taken off since they were born. Being a mom just makes you an incredible multi tasker and leaving for shoots here and there (as long as you have a supportive and trustworthy partner) is like a little vacation.

My SO adds very little to our relationship. She has a dead end job. I cook. I work. I oversee finances. I plan trips. She doesn’t have a voice in the relationship. I’ve asked her to give her perspective but she always defaults to mine bc she thinks I’m smarter/worldly. She feels intimated by me and my social circle. Lately, I’ve found myself thinking for her. Anticipating her wants and needs and then adjusting my behavior to meet them. Which she appreciates but it’s frustrating 29M 27F
