It’s hard out there for working parents--especially for working mothers. Mary Abbajay and Chris DeSantis tackle listeners' questions about balancing the duties of parenthood with career goals. 

• "Bundle of Nerves" wants to know when the right time is to tell her boss that she is pregnant. 
• "Kid Proof" is annoyed that their boss’ kid is constantly derailing team meetings. 
• "Mom’s the Word" struggles with the uneven playing field at work between working mothers and working fathers. 

Chris DeSantis recommends these books to help working parents:

Unfinished Business: Women Men Work Family by Anne Marie Slaughter

What Works for Women at Work by Joan Williams and Rachel Dempsey.  

What Works, Gender Equality by Design by Iris Bonnet

Forget a Mentor, Find a Sponsor by Sylvia Hewlett.
