Via Char, I learned of a new TLC “reality” show called The Secret Life of a Soccer Mom.
The premise:
…each one-hour The Secret Life of a Soccer Mom broadcast will follow a different mother as she abandons a life normally guided by her children’s schedule to instead focus on career goals she previously gave up on. […]
I know I talk about organizing products and stuff a lot on here.
I tell you that it’s because organization is key to balancing career and kids, but, it’s really because I clearly have an organizational products problem.

Dear The Media:
I agree that working parents have some challenges. All parents do.
Really, when you think about it, everyone has their own set of challenges, and, we all aspire to find like-minded people to discuss and commiserate about them.
However, I just want you to know that not everyone who works leaves their kids at […]
The CBS story, “Does it Pay for Mom to Work?” offers some good information to consider when evaluating if both parents should work, but, I really hate the title.

If the point of the article is:
No matter what, while the decision for one member […]
Several months ago, the book Mommy Wars: Stay-at-Home and Career Moms Face Off on Their Choices, Their Lives, Their Families by Leslie Morgan Steiner, was roundly discussed in the media.
