All in all, for many working mothers who happen to have the tag of being wives and girlfriends of professional athletes, the position they find themselves is normally feeding their family while dealing with the instability which comes with professional sports. Trades and deals that usually come with the territory result in many wives and children moving cities every few months or years. While some wives love being a housewife, others who don’t want to do that have to sacrifice a steady 9 to 5 for love. Many focus on holding down the family or charity work, both full-time, challenging and respectable jobs and on the other hand, some have gone above and beyond in their personal careers to create empires separate from their husbands, one of whom is Ayesha Curry.
