I found this timely article an excellent explanation of the challenges that I, personally, & my clients are currently facing with regard to our work & our family life. I know I’m working on a plan to help ameliorate some of these issues in my life. However, other important issues they identify are simply out of my control.  I have found that at least acknowledging them & talking about them is helpful. See what you think…

Here are the four basic elements the article puts into question, whether you are “the Poor, the Professional, or the Missing Middle”:

• Workplace flexibility
• Short-term, episodic, and extended time off
• Childcare, afterschool care, and adult care
• Addressing family responsibilities discrimination
