A while back, we discussed if parents get more time off from work than non-parents, and, Self Made Mom brought up a good point.
She stated in the comments that she feels that she isn’t as “present” at work as her colleagues who don’t have children.
I definitely feel that about myself at times, and, it […]
I’ve got to go out of town for business next week, and, I’m kind of excited. It’s just a routine trip, nothing special or exciting. Yes, I’ll miss my family very much, even if I’m only going to be gone a couple of days. But, I admit I’m looking forward to having some time for […]

She talks about her decision to start this successful community for working mothers, go read it today.
I enjoyed the part where she says the site may become, “Work It, Parents!” I like to think that was my […]
In my perusal of the literature about working parents I often run across the phrase, “working parents who don’t have time to _______”.
Even in the rare use of it that rings true, the phrase just bugs me. When it’s used in it’s typical context, it’s usually used to explain away, or, hint at the […]
It’s an age old debate in the workplace: Do parents get more time off than non-parents?
I don’t know if there’s an answer to that question or not, really.
I do know, that since I’ve had kids, I feel like I’m asking for and explaining myself a lot more often, but, at my workplace, I don’t […]
I was perusing the world wide Interweb, and, ran across this letter to the editor in a Halifax, N.S. newspaper.
Maybe it’s just a cultural difference, but, help me out here, is it common around the world for school age children to be “off” at lunch? You have to bring them home or arrange child […]
It’s that time of year where local schools insist you need a candy bar as big as your head, or, quality wrapping paper that lasts for years.
Yes, school fund raisers.
