More than 50 million Americans are juggling jobs and child-rearing—and finding that hard to do. In fact, according to a 2015 study by Pew Research Center, 65% of working parents with college degrees—who have better career and earning prospects than less-educated parents—reported that it was "somewhat difficult" or "very difficult" to meet the simultaneous demands of work and family. And the issue isn’t limited to the United States; statistics are equally striking in other countries.
The problem is real and pervasive, and for moms and dads coping with it day to day, it can seem overwhelming. Working parenthood requires you to handle an endless stream of to-do’s, problems, and awkward situations. There’s no playbook or clear benchmarks for success, and candid discussion with managers can feel taboo; you might worry about being labeled as unfocused, whiny, or worse. Moreover, the problem persists for 18 years or more, without ever getting much easier. Years in, you may still feel as stressed as you did right after parental leave.
Under these conditions, it’s normal to get tired, doubt your own choices and performance, and view your life as a constant, high-stakes improvisation. But it doesn’t have to be that way. We can all gain more calm, confidence, and control, thereby strengthening our ability to succeed at—and even enjoy—working parenthood.
When facing the pressures of working parenthood, ask yourself; What kind of difficulty am I dealing with? Most likely, it’s one or more of the following.
【C1】 ________
This challenge occurs when your status quo has been upended and you’re scrambling to adapt. Going back to work after parental leave is the classic, visible example. But working-parent transitions occur regularly, in many different forms. The kids get out of school for the summer and their schedules shift; you hire a new sitter and have to integrate her into your family’s routine; as you walk in the door after a business trip, you have to suddenly pivot from professional to caregiving mode.
【C2】 ________
This challenge consists of all the to-do’s and logistical matters, large and small, that consume so much of your days—and nights. Searching for the right childcare, making it to the pediatrician’s appointment on time (and then dashing to the pharmacy to pick up the antibiotics), getting the kids fed each evening, and taking an important conference call with a fussy toddler in the background all fall into this category.
【C3】 ________
You face this challenge when you’ve got working-parent matters to discuss and you find yourself at a loss for words or at risk of being misunderstood. Perhaps you are announcing a pregnancy, asking your boss for a flexible working arrangement, negotiating the daycare pickup schedule with your partner, or telling your five-year-old that you’ll be traveling for work again. The stakes are high, and your intentions are good. But the honest, constructive conversation you want to have feels frustratingly out of reach.
【C4】 ________
This challenge involves a kind of mourning. Maybe the baby took her first steps while you were at work, or you weren’t staffed to a career-making project because you made a deliberate decision to work fewer hours. Now you’re worried that in trying to combine work and family, you’ve missed out on what’s truly important.
【C5】 ________
You experience this challenge when grappling with the inevitable either/or thinking and personal conflict that comes with working parenthood. Will Thursday find you at your son’s debate tournament or at the big sales meeting with the new client? Are you a hard charger or a nurturing, accessible parent? Which is right, and which is you? You wish you had clearer answers.
【C1】
