'Could it really be so hard to fully support families in the workplace?'
Earlier this year, I made the difficult decision to step back from my career to spend more time with my family. A year prior, with the normal mix of apprehension and excitement, I returned to work after my second maternity leave. My employer granted 20 weeks of paid maternity leave, as well as two weeks of ramp-back time during which I could work part-time and earn full-time pay. My husband also received paid leave time to bond with and care for our newborn.
I began to dig into the data on working parenthood in America in the hopes of uncovering the ‘why’ behind it.As a millennial mother of two young children, I knew that simple black-and-white answers, while alluring, were never as straightforward as marketers lead us to believe so I appreciated the complexity of the problem. It would be naive and misguided of me to hope for a simple solution to building a career and a family at the same time.
