Self-Help
Sharon Meers and Joanna Strober are professionals, wives,
and mothers with five young children between them. They
understand the challenges and rewards of two-career
households. They also know that families thrive not in
spite of working mothers but because of them. You
can have a great career, a great marriage, and be a great
mother. The key is tapping into your best resource and most
powerful ally—the man you married.
After
interviewing hundreds of parents and employers, surveying
more than a thousand working mothers, and combing through
the latest government and social science research, the
authors have discovered that kids, husbands, and wives all
reap huge benefits when couples commit to share equally as
breadwinners and caregivers. Mothers work without guilt,
fathers bond with their kids, and children blossom with the
attention of two involved parents.
The starting
point? An attitude shift that puts you on the road to
50/50—plus the positive step-by-step advice in this book.
Here are real-world solutions for parents who want
to get ahead in their careers and still get to their
children’s soccer games; strategies for working mothers
facing gender bias in the workplace; advice to fathers new
to the homefront; and tips for finding 50/50 solutions to
deal with issues of money, time, and much more.
From
“baby boot camp” for new dads to exactly what to say when
negotiating a leave with the boss, this savvy book offers
fresh ideas to today’s families. It also offers
encouragement, hope, and confidence to any woman who has
ever questioned her choices regarding work and family.
