‘Cuz there is somebody waiting for me…

And we don’t give enough credit to women who actually do have people waiting for them, their children.  In a world that increasingly accommodates the word ‘and’ rather than ‘or’, there are still some stalwarts of the old system in which women had to chose between and family.  At MomsRising, women and men explore those hiccups and offer alternatives- why not utilize more job sharing?  why not allow children at work? why is paternity leave less valued that maternity leave?  and why is maternity leave so short? Systemic changes is necessary to even the workplace playing field.  These women advocate for that; they advocate for ‘and’.  That’s not a slogan of catch phrase…I just think they’re amazing.  Don’t worry, I don’t need a soapbox.  I’m good on the floor.  Just check them out- Momsrising.
