Why do you assume you know anything about her life, what hand she was dealt, what choices she made, or why she made the choices she did?
Why is the fact that she didn't subordinate her career to someone else's and choose to spend time having kids and raising him the equivalent of a lack of a life?
One life model does not work for everyone. We need to be more accepting of a diversity of lifestyles.
