Pregnancy & Parenting's
Working Moms Message Board


Many of today's mothers work outside of the home. As you try and balance both career and family, it helps to focus on the good things in your life, not just the conflicts. So much of what you read about working mothers emphasizes stress. You rarely see quotes like: "Before I had kids, I wasn't as patient at work. But I've learned a lot of patience from my children." Women also say that negotiation skills learned from work help them at home.

The women on the Working Moms board understand the issues that many working women face on a daily basis. Join them and get the tips and resources you need to help you feel less frustrated and more in control of your life. It can be done!

If you've never participated in message board before, you'll be surprised by how easy it is to get answers to your questions from experienced moms. You don't need to be an iVillage member to read messages, but if you want to post, just click on the "join now" link at the very top right hand corner of the message board page. Membership is free and it just takes a few minutes to sign up.
