Working Mom Check In Check In

ramfan05 · September 2014

In the random thread today, I volunteered to run a working mom's check in if there is enough interest. I figured it would be nice to celebrate our successes, discuss our challenges, offer tips or things that are working well for us, and just support each other. Anyone interested?

I hear you @Avswolf‌ on the chores and fun family time. There is just never enough time for it all!

I am interested! I am not technically "working" anymore, but my "unpaid internship" is 40+ hours a week, so I think it counts for all intents and purposes.

Definitely counts.

Does anyone have a preference for what day? Maybe Saturday since we won't be at work and will be more available to check in? Friday afternoon? Other suggestions?

I'm in too!

Saturday sounds good to me.

sdlaura · September 2014

I'm in! I have more time to bump at work during the week than at home on weekends, but I know that's not the case for everyone

flightview · September 2014

lol weekdays work better for me too, but I'll make an effort if it ends up being a weekend!

What if I were to post it on Friday, then those who bump at work could respond then, and those who can't (um, hi there fellow teachers

) can respond on Saturday if that works better?

Thank you for volunteering @ramfan05‌
I like Friday so we can spill over into the weekend. Fridays are *usually* slower paced than the rest of the week for me.

I'm glad friday was picked.
I know I'm not the only one who doesn't get a chance to log in on the weekends. This weekend will be the exception because I'm working saturday, but it's the last saturday I'm working for a long time. Yay!

Yeah, I wasn't really thinking that a lot of working moms can only check in from work, because I almost never can! This way it should hopefully work out for more people

I'm in too! Work is killing me. Literally feel like it's taking days off my life

Can I join!?
I am so in for this since I can't keep up on the random anymore.

Don't worry @mummypig, I can't normally keep up either. I just happen to be off right now, but I go back Friday so I won't be around quite as much then (except to do this, of course! I can definitely make time for you ladies!)
