@Anne_Michels 4) I am happy for everyone who can and every company who can support their employees this way. But is it our right as working parents? No.
@Anne_Michels 3) not for less. This is tough, but it's reality. I understand that in bigger corporations there might be more options. Unfortunately, it's not the reality in America for most employees, and I don't even want to start thinking I am more privileged because I have a child.

@PassionPopSoc My wife is in a group of Mums and one of them was convinced they had a ghost in their baby's cot.
Turns out, the kid's dad had forgotten to put on the mattress protector...
BREAKING: @EverettPolice surrounding an apartment complex off W Casino near 10th Ave, investigating what’s believed to be a shooting. We’re hoping to learn more soon #KOMONews
@Anne_Michels I absolutely hear you. To be direct: It takes time to get used to the situation and even then there is no way to do everything perfect. One of the toughest things about parenting for me is the bad conscience, that comes every night.
@Anne_Michels You got a lot of great advice! The best one I can give you: Savor the small moments. The big picture will always be stressful and chaotic, but a smile can make your day (kind of sappy, I know :D )
@Anne_Michels BUT: I agree with a previous post, kids are extremely emphatic and read our energy. You have to be happy for them to be happy. It's not as easy as "do what makes you happy", because there has to be someone to pay the bills, for pickup, to do the laundry etc.
@Anne_Michels As a full time working (plus freelancing in the evenings/on the weekend) single mom without family support I had to get used to the idea that there will be after school care instead of afternoon activities and we catch up during our commute to school.
