Working moms: 7 tips for success

By Sojourner:

o Absolve yourself of “mommy guilt.” You are doing the best that you can.

o Remember that a desire for a career does not make you a bad mother, nor
does a desire for work/life balance make you a bad employee.

o Be proactive and creative. Many supervisors are open to considering
creative solutions when they are presented, but will not be so conscious as
to offer them unasked.

o If you have a partner, ask that partner for help and unconditional
support.

o Find a community of mothers who also work outside the home. So much mom
support is based on the stay-at-home crowd, and while some of our issues are
the same, some are very different.

o Remember that raising children only comes once in a lifetime.
