There is a podcast I've been aware of for some time, <a href="http://www.stuffmomnevertoldyou.com">Stuff Mom Never Told You</a>, that is fabulous but I've never been what you might call a religious listener. The amount of fabulous content created by the creators of the podcast was so immense that I felt overwhelmed and never really dove in. But, the show has two new hosts so I thought this would be a good time to start tuning in. <a href="http://www.stuffmomnevertoldyou.com/podcasts/mommy-tax.htm">The Mommy Tax</a>, which "aired" on May 19, 2017, was just excellent and I wanted to respond at length so I felt that my weekly post would be the best way to do that. <a href="https://twitter.com/emiliearies">Emilie </a>and <a href="https://twitter.com/BridgetMarie">Bridget </a> do a really excellent job of giving the perspective we need to understand that women have been penalized professionally for having children for <em>a really long time.</em> Either we couldn't have careers because we had to care for the children, or we can have careers but it's not "a good move." But, having children is a really solid career move for men, who enjoy higher rates of promotions and more raises particularly when they are working hard to be involved dads. I will stop for a second here to say that I am a white, cis-gendered woman pursuing a M.A.. My husband already has a graduate level degree. We both have really good jobs (him in county administration, me in higher education) and our children reap the benefits associated with having college educated parents. I am not down on anyone for getting a promotion or a raise. Nor am I particularly concerned about my financial well-being as a result of my lower societal status as a woman. This is a very privileged place to be. <h2>This is a very privileged place to be.</h2> More than anything, and why I think it's important to advocate for equal pay for equal work, flexible work schedules, subsidized quality child care, and a whole host of other things is for my sisters who are single parents or parenting in a same-sex relationship. <center><img class=" size-full wp-image-75072 aligncenter" src="https://rachelahanson.blog/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/quote-paul-wellstone-we-all-do-better-when-we-all-217666.png" alt="quote-paul-wellstone-we-all-do-better-when-we-all-217666" width="1000" height="512" /></center><br/> In the course of the podcast, and what I really wanted to talk about, is something Emilie asked. She asks, at one point, what would make the working day easier for working moms. I want to extend that to working parents, because increasingly we see new parents being more equal partners when it comes to parenting. What would make my time as a working parent a whole lot easier in the short term would be a flexible working day. My dream day is six hours in the office, two hours at home. I bet you have some kind of combo that would make your day, or week, a lot easier. Something else that would make a ton of difference to me would be on-site daycare. I work at a university with an early childhood education program and it makes a whole lot of sense to me that we would capitalize (for lack of a better word) on that program to provide parents with child care and students with a required practicum experience. Heck, how awesome would it be if it was an option for parents who work there to pay for it through a payroll deduction? One less bill to have to worry about paying! Finally, what would help so much is if women who are already in those C-level positions and higher could let go of the mentality that because they got to where they were the hard way the rest of us have to as well. Women, support each other! I just have to end by encouraging you to listen to Stuff Mom Never Told You. There is a lot of phenomenal content, you'll learn something new and feel inspired with every episode.<br /><center><hr/><em>Posted from my blog with <a href='https://wordpress.org/plugins/steempress/'>SteemPress</a> : https://rachelahanson.blog/2017/05/26/the-mommy-tax/</em><hr/></center>
