Talking today about the difficulties of being a working parent inspired by the October 2022 'March of the Mummies' protest by Pregnant then Screwed and other relevant social media posts around the subject.  The protest was actioned because "childcare providers are falling like dominos, mothers are dropping out of the workforce in droves, the gender pay gap increased in 2021, and more families are now living in poverty" (pregnantthenscrewed.com)

We talk about our experiences of working parents - and how being parents affected our work. We both have stories to tell here and we're sure you might too.  Have you experienced expensive childcare; statutory maternity/paternity leave; faced a pay penalty; or lack of flexible working? How has all of this affected you?  How does this continue to affect you as you strive for your own personal and professional development?
