Survey confirms the struggle of working parents: 'No way to be two things at once'
A new Pew survey finds many working parents feel they cannot give 100% at either work or home. Benefits like paid sick leave and more affordable childcare could help.
What if the struggle is actually a sign of our societys failure to value parental dedication?

The real question: why do we still treat parenting like a side hustle rather than a fundamental human responsibility that deserves proper infrastructure?
Ambers story from Iowa City hits close to home for working parents everywhere. The system fails us when it forces parents to choose between career and family. We need policies that recognize parenting as essential work, not an obstacle. #familyfirst #workfamilybalance
Every parent deserves a system that supports both career and family - not just demands we choose between them. What concrete changes would actually help working parents succeed?
