However, their two-year-old daughter got ill, so Randy stayed home to take care of her while Cindy attended the conference. They decided that Cindy should go because she had more responsibilities in the professional organization. When others asked where Randy was, she told them that he stayed home with their sick daughter. People asked why she didn't stay home instead because, after all, she was the mother. What did Cindy most likely feel as a result of these competing expectations between being a mother and being a professional?
