There are many challenges and many rewards.
​The first 50 Working Parent Stories produced some surprises. The second 50 stories produced the following learnings:

  1. Working parents are trying very hard to be great parents and great employees.
    Parents repeatedly described the great efforts they put forth to be the best parents possible while delivering strong contributions at work too.
    Example:  Wednesdays and Why I Endure Them

    ​
  2. Some working fathers are starting to face “the choice”.
    As more women are out-earning their spouses, men are sometimes forced to chose between careers and managing the home full-time.

    Example:  Beyond the Benefits

  3. Working mothers are often clear about the fact that they want to set a good example for their kids.
    Mothers often talk about their strong desires to set good examples for their children via their careers.
    Examples:  They Say I'll be Glad and Leading by Example

  4. Some working parents manage “special needs” in addition to traditional parenting and careers.
    These parents are juggling even more than many others. They're inspiring!
    Example:  You Are A Superhero and Some Days I Really Dislike Facebook

  5. Some working mothers still endure a steady stream of “micro discouragements”.
    Even though it's not unusual for parents to work anymore, some mothers still find their commitment to their families questioned (often subtlely) when they pursue careers.
    Example:  Beyond the Benefits​​

  6. Working parents in 29 countries are reading these stories.
    It's a small world after all.
