Forty-something Reality Check

Let me define the forty-something (or at least my forty-something) reality check for you: Two of the people you have recently hired as writers on your team turn out to have mothers who are basically or exactly the same age as you are! These people you previously thought of as peers and colleagues are now “kids” which means that they think that you are not some hip career woman that they can model themselves on (both of them being female). You are someone who is like their mum and worst of all you dress like her too, like a hippy!
