Children vs Career: how mothers work it out

MANY mothers struggle to juggle children and a career, and often feel guilty that working means their children are losing out in some way.

However, two high-flying career women with five children between them want to promote the message that families thrive not in spite of working mothers, but because of them.

The pair have written the book Getting To 50/50: How Working Parents Can Have It All to discuss the benefits of being a working parent and to share the secrets for successfully combining career and kids.
