[quote=Anonymous]As the responses in this thread tell you, women are equal to men professionally...until you have elementary school age kids, when mom is supposed to magically have a "flexible" job, or families are supposed to have a nanny or grandparents step in. When that's not possible, you have to set expectations with your kids about what you can participate in and what you will be present for. Also, our school scheduled SO many activities and PTA-sponsored events during the school day or right after, and parents complained. Last year they started to change things and shifted the schedule for things like open house and other family nights to take place after 4 pm. It does help to speak up to make the school experience more inclusive for working families. Sports and after school activities will always take creative solutioning (friends, carpooling, outsourcing, flexible schedules).[/quote]
