Work, Life, & Parenting, Part I

life-style-episode-9.jpgThis week on Life.Style, I engaged in the first of a two-part (at this point...the conversation could have continued for hours!) series on work, life, and parenting; definitely check out the episode if you didn't see it live on Thursday. I chatted with Erin Kane and Kristin Brandt of Manic Mommies about everything from the financial implications of opting out, the pros/cons of working in an office vs. working at home, resources for launching your own business, and strategies for finding personal time and getting a handle on home logistics. Check out the episode for full commentary and inspiration, but for easy reference, below are the conversation point links that were shared during the interviews.

Comments

Some nice thoughts here and my son & I have been lucky that as he's gone through an incredibly difficult time, my dad's been able to help us out so I could devote my time to him. Still, I have to get back to work: "opting" out isn't an option for a single mom. And single moms giving birth in their 30s are a growing segment of the population. Our parenting/financial conflicts can't be resolved by a simple talk with a partner, because there is none.
