Moms in the workforce

I’m Miriam Neff,  and I’m Valerie Neff Hogan, with Wise Women Managing Money

M I recently spoke with a mom who reentered the workforce after ‘time out’ for 3 children.  First, being a Mom is no ‘time out,’ It’s work.  She is juggling finding what she could do before, and the reality that there are not enough hours in the day to do those tasks, given her work.

V  Don’t let the ‘I can do it all’ lie grab you. ‘As a couple, revisit your spending plan, not when the two of you are tired or hungry.  Change is necessary. Tasks Mom’s do have value.  What tasks have you done that might need to be paid for now.  Groceries delivered? Help with cleaning?  Talk together pray, and revise your spending plan. 

M It’s not just about the money.  Work can be satisfying and beneficial for all.
