Talking about becoming parents and one of the tips for new moms was that it’s going to be okay - okay to cry, make mistakes, be tired, etc. #MSideFamSoc

There are 5 parenting styles for a new generation, those being as follows: instinctive, attachment, helicopter, authoritative, and permissive #MsideFamSoc

Adoption can cost anywhere between $20,000-$50,000 and causes a lot of stress on a family. #MSideFamSoc

[Callie Alberico @AlbericoCallie]

As discussed in class, adoption has been decreasing since 2007. Maybe if they didn’t make the process quite as difficult it wouldn’t be going down? But if they made it easy maybe the kids wouldn’t be going to the best homes. Need to find a solution. #MSideFamSoc

Remember that old adage that women don’t get a raise because they are less likely then their male peers to ask for one? Here’s some disconfirming evidence suggesting men get raises even when they don’t ask and women get denied a raise when they do. #soctwitter #GenderPayGap

Happy Equal Pay Day!! As of 2018, women were making 80¢ to men’s $1, let’s change this and get equal rights #MsideFamSoc

According to the National Study of Employers, “nonprofit organizations are more likely (30%) to offer generous caregiving leaves than for profit organizations (19%)” #MSideFamSoc

It’s very interesting to watch the Frontier House series and watch contemporary American families live as 19th century pioneers and have to adapt to a new way of life #MSideFamSoc

Learning about FMLA in class and realizing our policies need a lot of improvement to catch up with every other country #MSideFamSoc

After I had my maternity leave, one of my senior colleagues asked if it was really appropriate for me to apply for my third year teaching release since I’d “already had one.” No, I really hadn’t. Let’s collectively push back on these assumptions that providing care is not labor.

The average family caregiver, who leaves their job to care for a loved one, loses nearly $304,000 in wages and retirement funds #zeroweeks #MSideFamSoc

A woman I interviewed describes feeling sad/scared about work-life balance if she pursues academic science:

"I haven't found a role model I can follow and say, 'This is what I want to be.' My professor is not the sad type, but he’s a man and it's different. It's different."

[Callie Alberico @AlbericoCallie]

April leaving the Briney family isn’t very surprising to me, I originally thought she would “rat out” the other wives since she was the only legal wife. I don’t understand why they are so sad about it though because the other wives didn’t like her anyways. #MSideFamSoc

But... That finding about kids making you miserable is in the US context! This study was done in the European context... where (on average) they have MUCH better support systems for having children than we do... cc @caitymcollins's new book #MakingMotherhoodWork

In class we are talking about the book Breaking Free and also watching tv series such as Seeking Sister Wife, it’s interesting to see the 2 opposite views of polygamy and how it can be drastically different per each individual. #MSideFamSoc
