I am a mom of two, work full time, have a chronic illness that is exacerbated by stress, found out how bad the public schools have gotten (and I’m in a “good school district”) so I volunteered with other concerned parents to establish a microschool at my church, take care of my home, and still try to make time to be present with my kids and husband. How are the citizens of this country supposed to be involved in revitalizing America when we are all sick and overworked? I was able to get a reduced work week for about a year through FMLA and my health vastly improved, but my employer will not give me a reduced work week outside of FMLA. I’ll attach a meme about how overworked moms are but, instead of working 9-5, most of us are required to work 8-5 and tack on a daily commute.
