Equity does not exist in households where women make more!

Mom with kids on vacation "Female breadwinners face a much higher risk for burnout, infidelity, and divorce."  When She Makes More ,  Farnoosh Torabi Prince is one of my favorite artists. And, I think that it is genius that the beginning of his famous song, "Let's go crazy" mimics a marriage ceremony. It makes you wonder whether he was suggesting that marriage itself was a path to insanity. If you have forgotten the beginning, here you go, "Dearly beloved, We are gathered here today, To get through this thing called "life" Electric word, life, It means forever and that's a mighty long time, But I'm here to tell you  There's something else..." He writes the afterworld in the blank. However, a recent study suggests that "marriage" could be inserted in its place, especially marriage for high earning women. 

Working Mom Tips: Childcare Options

Identifying my childcare option has been the most stressful aspect of being a working mom. I wanted to find an option that worked well with my schedule and where my baby would thrive. I also had to deal with the guilt of delegating the well being of my child to someone else.

Even though my mother always worked, in my mind, taking care of my baby was my job. Having someone else do it seemed unnatural. However, in order to provide the type of lifestyle I wanted my daughter to enjoy I needed to work. Also, I had worked my entire professional life to being an attorney, at great personal and financial sacrifice. Not only could I not afford to stay home, I didn't really want to.

Finding the Right Childcare is the Most Important Decision for a Working Mom


For me, hiring a nanny was the best option for my family. It allowed me to give my daughter the gift of being able to remain in her own home every day. She lives life according to her schedule and it suits her. She also has someone who is devoted to her and her well being. Although I'm not the one providing that care, I have worked hard to make sure that she receives quality care.

Care.com was my salvation! My daughter is two years old and we have had two nannies. We found each using Care.com.  They perform background checks, rate the care providers, and the site is easy to use. You can also use the site to find a babysitter for casual use. With Valentine's Day coming up, you might want to hire a babysitter to help you get out to spend some time with your honey!

Lucky for you, an agency asked me to publicize a deal that Care.com is running right now.
