What working moms are thinking this Mothers Day

What working moms are thinking this Mothers DayWhat working moms are thinking this Mothers DayWorking moms share what its like to be a working mother in Ladders latest survey. Mothers day is here, and I wanted to talk to you guys about something I call Mom guilt. Im not talking about the guilt trips ur Moms all treated us to when we didnt clean our room as a kid, or now when we dont call as often as they would like. Im talking about the massive guilt every working Mom feels every day. Guilt that we are not spending enough time with our kids, coupled with guilt that our work may be suffering from not having our undivided attention 24 hours a day.Ladders recently released a survey to more than 250 women who are, or soon will be, working mothers. The results had me nodding furiously while answering a work email, changing my daughters diaper and submitting my sales forecast all at the same time (yes, moms multi-task). Balancing a career and a family is a huge struggle for 87% of responde nts, with 55% admitting that excelling at both is overwhelming.In addition, when it comes to balance, 13% struggled at first, but now its under control, 16% always put family first and work has suffered for it, and 3% always put work first and family has suffered for it. I can only assume that the other 13% that said they Successfully manage both aspects actually slipped on baby drool and tripped into the computer, selecting the wrong line by mistake.Either way, the survey results are enlightening, and while I still feel that pang of guilt when missing little milestones in my daughters life or needing to run out of work early once in a while, at the very least this survey assures me that I am not alone.Download a PDF version of the survey today.
