You want to know why so many working moms are drowning? Because we live in a world that says “take care of your babies first”… but also, “make sure you’re bringing home a paycheck”. So we get up, clock in, and make sure our kids have somewhere safe to go while we work. But let me tell you something, this world wasn’t built for us. Work is 8-5, but school runs 7:45-2:45. The pediatrician closes at 4. The dentist isn’t open on weekends. Bedtime is at 8, but practice doesn’t end until 7. By the time dinner is made, the house is clean, homework is checked, and a dozen other things no one even notices are done. Then it hits, there was barely anytime with the kids today. So when you ask the mom at work how she’s doing and she says “I’m fine” just know, she’s probably not. She’s exhausted, stretched too thin, and missing the people she’s working so hard for.
SO FU-K YOU & ALL THE MEN THAT THINK WE ARE SKATING BY!!!
We get paid less than you!
We do more than you every single day!
Flextime was the only way we could slightly achieve it all.
