You Know You're a Working Mom When ...

By , About.com Guide

Let's create our own working mom madlibs by finishing the sentence, "You know you're a working mom when ..."

Here are some examples from my own life:

  • you open your work bag and out tumble a pacifier, pair of socks and assorted pink hair accessories.
  • your child's care provider doubles as a career coach.
  • you've cried in one or more of these places: the train to work, the pediatrician's waiting room and the office bathroom.
  • you answer your home phone with your work greeting. At 10 p.m.
