This is Part Three of a
Three-Part Series
I have a friend who used to be an attorney. On Friday nights, the firm went out for drinks. She attended because her husband was available to take the kids so she could participate in this important office bonding activity. These evenings…

This is Part One of a
Three-Part Series
The back-to-school craziness has started to die down. Routines are established. Kids are used to their schedules. Parents finally have the drop-off and pick-up responsibilities straightened out. Everything seems to have fallen in place. But then…

There has been a lot of research lately that I’ve found particularly handy in coming to my defense when I’m forgetful or when I’m clearly acting “like a woman.”
It’s nice to be able to blame biology or my brain for whatever failings I may have.
But some recent writings have thrown a new wrinkle into the working mother issue.

There are days when I think, “Maybe she’d be better off if I just sucked it up, lived extra-frugally and spent my weekdays with her instead of going to work while she’s at the sitter…” But a scary brush with layoffs last week had me feeling really good about earning a decent income.

When I was really little – before I can remember, even – she took some time off from being a English teacher to say home with me, and then my brother. But somewhere in there she got bored, or needed the money, or both, and she took a part-time job for a while as a proofreader, and then as a sales rep for a pharmaceutical company. Eventually, though, and while I was still in grade school, she went back to teaching, full time. </p><br> <p>I don’t know when, exactly, I realized that my mom worked and a lot of other moms didn’t, but I do remember feeling proud of her from a very early age.

I've started working more hours over the past few months and I'm now struggling a bit to fit in my regular exercise workouts. I've gone through phases in my life before, where I've had to alter the time, length and type of workout I've done to fit my current schedule's needs. (I just...

Just wondered how many other women are out there in my situation and how you all are making it work. I am a single mom ("by choice") working in a full-time 9-6 type job, nannyless right now -- just using preschool and their after-hours daycare and some sporadic babysitters for... Read More »
