"Akitunde has a lot to say about the stereotypes of working motherhood ..."  -- Stephanie Newman
Founder and editor of the web site mater mea (which means "my mother" in Latin), Anthonia Akitunde, was recently featured by Forbes.com. The article, which is based on an interview conducted by Stephanie Newman, highlighted some "hidden joys of working mothers". These joys will be familiar to many working parents.

Here is a sampling of them.
  • Women treasure moments when their kids understand why they work.
    The Working Parent Story You're An Author provides a great example of one of these moments.
  • The frenzied, overwhelmed mom is a prevalent image, but that's not the reality for everyone.
    The Working Parent Story The "Best Mom" aligns with this perspective.
  • Anthonia saves nice email messages and re-reads them when she needs a boost.
    Working Parent Stories does this too and publishes many comments on the Feedback page.

Some parents aren't encouraged to share stories about the joy they get from their work. Thanks for talking about it, Anthonia and Stephanie!
