Kids Worried Sick
Posted June 18th, 2007 by PunditMom
It's bad enough that we live in a country where working mothers have to worry about losing their jobs if they take time off to tend to a sick or injured child.
Now, children are worrying about whether they should confide feeling ill with their parents because some have seen their mothers get fired for staying home to care for them.
Author Ellen Bravo writes on The Nation's website about the impact this phenomenon is having on the children of working mothers.
Women shouldn't be discriminated against simply because they are mothers... but they are! Read about true experiences of American mothers, and learn how shared problems can be solved. Members can download the first chapter of the book today.
