Cry Baby.

Boo hoo. Are you a cry-baby? Were you one when you were younger? Have you turned into one since having a baby – you know, the person who tears up at a Johnson & Johnson commercial that features a

Shiloh

Wear Clean Underwear.

Planning for your children’s lives should you die prematurely does not make for light dinner conversation. Can you imagine: sooo, who did you name for your guardian? Oooh, good choice, I went with so and so. Did you fill out your health care proxy yet?

Does Stress Discriminate?

WGlenn — Mon, 09 Jun 2008 09:23:14 -0700

“AAARRRGGGHHH!!!!!! I am sooooo stressed!” How many times have you been screaming those words - - in your head - - while externally you look calm, cool and collected? You may have just come from a business meeting and now rush frantically to your child’s school… or you may be sitting in a pediatric appointment, the doctor is running late, and now you fear that you will miss a scheduled meeting back in the office.

Got Women?

CEO — Tue, 13 May 2008 13:56:40 -0700

When I was a girl, I wanted to play like the boys: their childhood experience seemed to be emotionally unencumbered, with their primary focus being on strength in sports, skill at games, and hanging out with their buddies. Being a girl seemed more complicated: we would impose inconsistent standards on each other that shifted like the wind and often influenced by what our friends thought of us; some of us were taught relentless pursuit of aspirations at an early age, while others were raised in a traditional care-giving model.

Give Good Green: Old School Style.

CEO — Thu, 29 Nov 2007 10:35:37 -0800

‘Tis the season, as they say, and this year’s hottest topic is GREEN. The planet is warming way too fast, so we’re being bombarded with ways to become environmentally responsible: get cloth shopping bags to replace plastic ones, install low-flushing toilets, build solar panels on our roofs, wear only clothing made of hemp, and get rid of those plastic water bottles and drink from the tap. Please don’t misunderstand.

Work & Motherhood: Still Hazy After All These Years.

CEO — Tue, 04 Sep 2007 20:24:36 -0700

I've never liked the term "working mother." It says that I am some kind of sub-category; not a full member of the club. Maybe I'll feel better about it the day I hear someone called a "working father."

Do Working Moms Blog?

CEO — Thu, 30 Aug 2007 19:44:29 -0700

It’s not news that working mothers have the least amount of available leisure time. Even executives can schedule their leisure time (with the cocktail hour doubling for business purposes). Rich people have assistants to help with household chores and errands. Most working women and I don’t have those luxuries. Something must give. It’s the blogging.

Why Women Work - It's Not What You Would Think.

CEO — Mon, 20 Aug 2007 19:41:49 -0700

It’s true that our ideal American lifestyle - with all its luxury perks like big houses, yearly vacations, vehicles and the latest stuff– requires a two income family. But, do women work outside the home just to achieve that standard?

And Nanny Makes Three.

jquib — Sun, 01 Jul 2007 01:59:09 -0700

I often joke that I was raised in the bosom of Island Women. That’s because my parents divorced when I was very young. With my dad out of the house and money tight, my mom needed to work—and her job required a lot of travel, which meant she also needed help taking care of me and my sister. Until I was 10, we always had live-in help, a.k.a. “The Nanny.”

Working Mom Issues On Grey's Anatomy.

jquib — Sun, 01 Jul 2007 01:59:09 -0700

Forget about all the hub-bub over Elizabeth Vargas' paper-thin "20/20" segment that was supposed to provide an in-depth look at the struggles of mothers and their work. Watch "Grey's Anatomy" instead. It's here -- on one of the few TV programs run by a real working mom of a small child -- that you'll get a down-to-earth dissection of contemporary motherhood and the working world, dovetailed by the consequences of those maternal decisions.
