Are you spinning multiple plates at once? Mother, wife, employee, cook, cleaner, project manager, taxi driver, home-school teacher? If it is actually possible for women to have it all – as society assures us it is – then why do we feel like we are failing?

The better they do this job, the more invisible it becomes. Many people understand neither the scale of this enormous job nor its value to the family.
