Acerca de esta escucha
Parents who are working and raising kids know that it isn't easy. In fact, it's often downright difficult. That's why we admire them.
This collection of short stories helps parents understand that they can be committed to their kids and their careers and that the effort is often rewarding and meaningful. It matters.
Along with practical tips and tricks that have been refined over time, Working Parent Stories deliver encouragement, inspiration, and humor as they reveal insights that show how our careers can help our children even when it's not obvious in the moment.
The stories provide comfort and prove we're not alone in our struggles, and they provide a glimpse into the moments that cause other working parents to laugh (and cry) when they find themselves in similar situations.
As working parents strive and thrive, they refine their strategies for raising capable children, creating happy homes, and delivering strong value via their careers. These stories enable listeners to gather new ideas, compare their strategies, stretch their minds, and refine their futures.
Employers will appreciate the candid first-person accounts as employees reveal the challenges they face and strategies they use to build their careers, deliver strong value to their organizations, and lead others.

Historia
There are 168 hours in a week. This book is about where the time really goes, and how we can all use it better. It's an unquestioned truth of modern life: we are starved for time. With the rise of two-income families, extreme jobs, and 24/7 connectivity, life is so frenzied we can barely find time to breathe. We tell ourselves we'd like to read more, get to the gym regularly, try new hobbies, and accomplish all kinds of goals.

Once the poster girl for doing it all, after she had her first child, Tiffany Dufu struggled to accomplish everything she thought she needed to in order to succeed. Like so many driven and talented women who have been brought up to believe that to have it all, they must do it all, Dufu began to feel that achieving her career and personal goals was an impossibility. Eventually, she discovered the solution: letting go. In Drop the Ball, Dufu recounts how she learned to reevaluate expectations, shrink her to-do list, and meaningfully engage the assistance of others.

Historia
Thousands of books have examined the effects of parents on their children. But almost none have thought to ask: What are the effects of children on their parents? In All Joy and No Fun, award-winning journalist Jennifer Senior tries to tackle this question, isolating and analyzing the many ways in which children reshape their parents' lives, whether it's their marriages, their jobs, their habits, their hobbies, their friendships, or their internal senses of self. She argues that changes in the last half century have radically altered the roles of today's mothers and fathers, making their mandates at once more complex and far less clear.

The first three trimesters (and the fourth - those blurry newborn days) are for the baby, but the fifth trimester is when the working mom is born. No matter what the job or how you define work, you're going to have a lot of questions. When will I go back? How should I manage that initial "I want to quit" attack? Flex time or full time? How can I achieve 50/50 at home with my partner? What's the best option for childcare? Is it possible to look like I slept for eight hours instead of three? And why is there never a convenient space to pump?
