We've moved into an era where "having it all" isn't happening, and people believe they don't have a choice. It's a pity that it's become so hard to achieve life balance.<br /><br />I just wrote about my morning, and I think it's evidence that things are hard. http://www.sloppycopymommy.blogspot.com/2013/05/let-me-tell-you-about-my-morning.html<br /><br />I am not sure what needs to change. I think my situation is the best--I am still providing for my family, and I still have moments with my girls. However, I still feel the way I described in my post. I spend every day worn out! And there is a part of me that thinks working part-time is not that different than working full-time...you still have to get dressed for work, you still have to get everybody else out of the house...you're just gone a few less hours. It makes it possible to get kids on the bus on time, to work out logistics. Yet you don't have any benefits, you work for less than you should be earning. Argh!<br /><br />All that to say--yes!
