The Push for Work Life Balance

I-want-to-be-a-mother-for-more-than-just-one-hour-a-day-1024x576-1518045111I recently wrote an article about only having one hour a day to spend with my kids if I accept a full-time 9-5, no flexibility job. One hour. That is my reality, and for me, that is not acceptable.    Why is it that in a world (at least in Canada), where maternity leave has been extended to two years and where men are now being given the opportunity to take six weeks off after the birth of a child, flexible working once women go back to work and children get older, seems elusive.

In this episode of the podcast, I chat with Brainne DeRosa, authour of the Red, Round or Green blog, about a recent article she wrote for Motherwell Magazine, ‘On not leaning in, but not leaning out.’

This is a two part discussion.

  1. Excellent Post. Also Here, I found a very innovative Time, chores and activities management app for the Kids, every parent should use. Managing children’s activities and chores with timely manner just became a whole lot easier and more enjoyable! It is a reward-based family app that motivates the household to perform tasks and earn points. It’s FREE to Instals http://www.kidscommission.com
