I have a free subscription to Working Mother and I have to say, this magazine makes me feel like a bad mom! I find this ironic since I am a working mom. Actually, I’m in that weird nebulous space between working full-time outside the home and being a full-time stay-at-home mom. See, I work 3 days a week and stay home 4. Am I a full-time mom with a part-time job?
Anyhoo, I find Working Mother makes me feel guilty for not being a Senior Vice President somewhere. I think their target audience is women with big-time corporate careers and families, while I have a little ol’ part-time job in academia and a family. Am I somehow less of a mom and example to my kids because I’m not a full-time super achiever in the private sector?
Just a random musing!
