What Working Moms are saying:

“I find there is very little support for mothers in my situation. Perhaps it is because we don't seek it, though I'm not sure if we did if it would be there. It is very, very hard to be a significant breadwinner and the primary homemaker/mother/wife. I don't know of anyone who really has a husband, or many friends, who understands that.”

Partnerships
