Summary

"Sharon Meers and Joanna Strober are professionals, wives, and mothers with five young children between them. They know that families thrive not in spite of working mothers but because of them. The key is tapping into your best resource and most powerful ally: the man you married. After surveying more than a thousand working mothers, the authors have discovered the huge benefits that come from sharing equally as breadwinners and caregivers. The starting point? An attitude shift that puts you on the road to 50/50. Here are real-world solutions for parents who want to get ahead in their careers and still get to their children's soccer games; strategies for working mothers facing gender bias in the workplace; advice to fathers new to the home front; and tips for finding 50/50 solutions to deal with issues of money, time, and much more. From "baby boot camp" for new dads to exactly what to say when negotiating a leave with the boss, this savvy book offers confidence through fresh ideas for today's families"--, Provided by publisher
