Hi all,

This is Susan from Cincinnati. I'm a full-time working mom with a 1-year-old girl, a full-time working hubby, and several pets. I also contribute to a blog called Working Moms Against Guilt. I hope you'll check it out: http://www.workingmomsagainstguilt.com

I'd love to hear from other moms on this board about your situations and interesting topics.

Hello All,

I have two boys - 2 and 8 months and work as a school administrator. My husband is a great Dad and also works full time, but takes up a lot of the slack as my job is pretty demanding. I constantly work to balance home/work/me time and am looking forward to hearing how other Moms do it all.

Hey ladies! I am a 26 year old with a wonderful 5 month old boy and a great husband. We both work full time, but I work from home. I joined a company on the front end of its development so I am one of the original team members. When I found out I was pregnant, I was able to make my work effective from home. I drive to client meetings when needed, but conference in to key meetigns from my home most of the time and then work as I would from an office on site. This really helps me manage home duties. For lunch, I work-out and when I need a break from work, I start a load of laundry. It definitely helps!! My son goes to a day-care about 5 miles away so I go see him during the day. I wish he could stay home with me!!

I use mommytrackd also. It seems to have some cool stuff.

I have one son 11 months - Cameron

Hello from Louisiana-
I'm 31mother of a 5yr old boy and 2yr old girl. I work full time outside of the home. My husband works full time also and he works shift work so he is not home a lot in the evenings and weekends. Most of the household duties, shopping, planning, financial issues are on me.

I live in North Carolina and work full time outside the home, as does my husband.
We have a daughter, age 5 and a son, age 2. They are both thriving in and loving their daycare.
I'm here to commisserate about the challenges of working outside the home and raising kids and all that house stuff that never seems to get done.

Hi, My name is Becka and I live in Long Island, NY. I am a full-time mom, part-time online student, and part-time waitress. My husband has a full-time job as a restaurant general manager, where he works about 60hrs a week. We have 3 great kids who are 4yrs, 3yrs,4.5months. Whew! I get tired just saying all of that! lol!
My mom-in-law does help us about two days a week but for the most part, we tag team everything. He drives our oldest to school everyday, which gives me time to clean,wash, plan out dinner etc.. Then I go to pick her up, get home, do homework, baths(for all 3), dinner, and bed. On the nights where I have to work, Everything is the same except my mom-in-law lets gives them dinner and puts them to bed. The other 2 days I have to work are on my husbands day off. Again everything is the same except my husband rests all day till I leave and he gives them dinner and puts them to bed. I really think the whole thing about tag teaming is that you need to be organized and have a routine that doesn't change that much, so the kids know whats going on. That's how we get it done!

Hello All
I am a working mom with one 10month old little girl. I am a DRG Coordinator (Auditor) at a Hospital. My husband is a Math Coach at a local Middle School and we both work full time plus overtime. I have the partial capability of working at home sometimes. We are still working out the kinks of our systems. I love being a mom, I also love working. I salute the stay at home moms but I don't have the gusto of keeping up with my little one all day. Plus she loves going to daycare and she learns so much there. Plus we can't afford for me to stay at home. Our household works off of two incomes.

I also work full time and my four year old goes to daycare. I wish I could work part time so I wasn't so busy and rushing all of the time, but I need to make money to pay bills and do fun stuff with. I think we should get paid just for being wonderful mommies!

Hi, I am starting a business while taking care of my 10 month old son. It is definitely a challenge to try and juggle it all. I live in Charlotte, NC and am running a Manners school for children. I work with children from the ages of 4 up through 18 and it has really allowed me to fulfill all my business goals and still help me to spend time with my son. Would love to connect with other Moms in the area though for some adult conversation.

Hi Mamas,
I have five little darlings and actually left the traditional workforce to start a business. The idea was to provide flexibility but I certainly end up putting in a lot of hours.....often in the wee hours!
So I'm a Mabels Mama, and a Mama of Many!
