"   Are you overly ambitious? You might want to thank your dad for that. According to a new study, your pop&amp;#039;s role in your household can influence your work ethic. In the study, researchers questioned women to find out who did what in their homes growing up. Those who had dads who were doing less traditional male things, like household chores that involve cooking and cleaning, were more likely to aspire to work outside the home. So if you see that your dad treats your mom like an equal, you&amp;#039;re more likely to believe that you can do anything dudes can do. As someone who grew up with a father who did some of the cooking and cleaning, I can attest to this. I am overly ambitious and such an overachiever it&amp;#039;s disgusting. When I was in college, I spent every semester interning. It was shoot for the stars or nothing. Anyway, I&amp;#039;d say seeing my dad treat my mom with such respect and putting her on his level, dividing the household work, let me believe that women and men can be equal. How far I could go was never once clouded by the fact I was a woman. Anything guys can do, girls can do...better. Heh. Want more from Dara? Follow her on Twitter @dadeeyo.
