If you're anything like me - you're constantly trying to find the balance between work and family life. There are at least 10x a week when I have the thought "gee I wish I could work part time". Between keeping house, laundry, meals - not to mention actually interacting with my family ON TOP of a 40 hour work week - well yea, I go to bed about an hour after my 2 year old every night. I'm not "really" complaining - it's my life, I chose it. I do, however, wish there were alternatives. The truth is to maintain our standard of living, currently I am required to work full time and I have to make my family life work with that. Someday I hope to be able to establish my own business where I can control the amount of income I make as well as the hours I devote to it - but that day remains in the future. Huffington Post featured an article titled What Mothers Really Want: To Opt In Between and in it they cite a Hulafrog study that is basically spot on with my feelings regarding work/life balance. I am posting the inforgraphic below. I'm curious to see where others stand on this issue - let me know your thoughts!
