I'm not sure if that's even the correct title for this post, but I just like saying it. Have you seen the movie Baby Mama? It was totally underrated and in my opinion, parts of it were pretty realistic. A single woman who works 24/7 to prove to her boss that she can stand up there with the best of them while her maternal instincts are screaming at her from the insides. She hires a surrogate to carry her baby for her since she finds herself to be infertile. What am I getting at here? Well, basically my question is...How does a single working mom do it?
I can barely take care of myself and my dog while working full time. I can't imagine having a baby, full time job, and doing it all alone. Whether you're a single working mom, a married working mom, or just a working girl who is one day hoping to be a baby mama, here is a list of the top 10 companies for Working Mothers, according to Working Mother Magazine:
- Abbott Laboratories, IL
- American Express, NY
- Bank of America, NC
- Booz Allen Hamilton, VA
- Bristol-Myers Squibb, NY
- Colgate-Palmolive, NY
- Computer Associates, NY
- Fannie Mae, DC
- General Mills, MN
- IBM, NY
One of my best friends is currently 6 months pregnant. She is so excited for the baby yet so stressed out about maternity leave and who is going to watch the baby while she's at her job. I work in a day care/preschool so mommies be aware, there ARE educated and responsible people out there who would love to take care of your children while you are at work. Personally I would LOVE to be a stay at home mom. I really enjoy my job, and am lucky to be in a profession that has great hours for children (my mom was a teacher and could easily pick us up and drop us off at school without us even knowing she had a job) but I know it is different for most of you Working Girls.
For those of you who do not have children yet, do you think you'll become a Working Mommy? Continue providing for your family and being a great success? Are there any readers who are already mommies? We'd love to hear your take on it!
