Feminist Career Woman Watches Her Stay-at-Home Neighbor's Life and Breaks Down

I'm a 41-year-old VP at a Fortune 500 company—corner office, six figures, everything I worked for. My next-door neighbor Katherine is 38, a stay-at-home mom with four kids. I always pitied her "1950s life." Then I started working from home Fridays and actually observed her day: up at 6am making breakfast for six, genuine affection with her husband, teaching her youngest to ride a bike while I made PowerPoint slides nobody will remember. She has friends, volunteers, runs PTA—a whole community. Her house is full of life. Mine is silent except for my laptop. At her daughter's birthday party, I met other stay-at-home moms: a former lawyer, doctor, engineer—all chose this deliberately and were genuinely happy. I broke down in my driveway and Katherine came out. "I'm so unhappy," I told her. She'd been watching me too: "You work so much, you're always alone, you look exhausted and sad." She told me she has a degree in economics but chose this life with open eyes. "My potential is whatever I decide it is." She's building memories that last lifetimes. I'm building quarterly reports that will be deleted next year. #career #sahm #success #happiness #loneliness #choices
