I love listening to you regarding working single mother. I had my first child at 42 years old and trying to balance work and mothers duties is so hard. I wanted to be so involved in her life like my mother, but also successful business woman. Having my daughter gave me confidence that I can do it.
Good day. I was working in the Hospitality Industry all my life and my Husband had enough one day and said, that is enough. I work from home now and take care of my 2 kids whilst doing so. There is always another way. If you are a parent that needs more time with your kids/family, stop chasing money and live a little. Its all worth it. And most importantly, make time for GOD. :)
Stephanie Herseth Sandlin was a decent representative for South Dakota. Even though she was a Democrat, she voted against ACA, Climate Change Cape & Trade Act and Wall-Street bailout Act. A very centrist decent lady.
Studies show that when kids are away from their moms more than 30 hours a week then their mental health suffers but a part time career can be great. Check out the book mompowerment to find ways to negotiate, find or create part time work. It may mean that you don't get a promotion but I would hope your kids would be more important than that.
I see so many flaws in this message and words that just make me cringe. “For those of you who are working Moms, it’s tougher”? Really? Do we need more Mom wars? I know mothers who love going to their job to get away from the stressors of motherhood. Much of the “inspiration” landed flat for me, like she’s ignoring the needs of women and the stressors of Motherhood. Many Moms will take this advice, fall flat on their face, and wonder what they’re doing wrong. Provide some real research! The woman who was able to work 4 days a week with 1 at home will likely find herself passed-up for a promotion. That doesn’t feel like a win to women. I’d like research on what policies can help Moms achieve work-life balance, not a “pick-yourself-up-by-your-bootstraps approach” that will leave many Moms feeling weak and not good enough. Lastly, not everyone has help and paid help might be financially out of reach.
Jessica Paiva these TED working moms talk definitely seemed geared for upper middle class. IMO she needs to get to the point I am at minute 6 and still wondering. Myself tho I agree work life balance for moms is sh*t in America. IMO the worst phrase ‘every mom is a working Mom’ Fully disregards the High stress of working moms. Every good mom should b valued But in All reality working moms have soooooooooooo much more stress than stay at home moms.
This is someone sharing their experience with you of what works for them. There is no one special recipe for all but sharing that knowledge may inspire someone else. If her truth is not something that resonated with you, the best thing is to keep on moving until you find it. Good luck :)
this was one of the worst tedtalks ive ever watched: very longwinded, scattered, vague and a couple of decent take-aways towards end, and it seemed like she winged it.

I really, really needed this.
Thanku for sharing
I totally disagree. Sacrifice your children and your health for your career and studies? Pushing yourself way past your limits?

Here after her house successor/the current SD Governor admitted to shooting her 14 month old dog
this was one of the worst tedtalks ive ever watched: very longwinded, scattered, vague and a couple of decent take-aways towards end, and it seemed like she winged it.
All I see is a complete disregard for what children need.
