[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why are we calling these "mom" jobs? Because dads don't care enough about spending time with kids to demand a flex-time job?[/quote] Dads have to work a lot to support these moms who work mom jobs.[/quote] I'm one of the PPs who works a 32-hour week in my professional job. My husband also has a family-friendly (though full-time) job, and we make almost equivalent salaries. In other words, he makes about 20 percent more but we'd make pretty close to equal salaries if my job was full time. And we both make less than we might in less family-friendly jobs. So no, he doesn't work a lot to support my "mom job." We both support each other so we can both be there for our kids, and have as fulfilling a career as we can manage within that parameter. And we made some financial tradeoffs (smaller house, fewer vacations) to make that happen. [/quote]
