Pedophile Pediatrician.

CEO — Mon, 15 Mar 2010 11:49:40 -0700

Over 100 children. An idyllic beach town, population 16,000. Often the violations occurred with adults mere feet away. The man rigged protective sheets and pin lights and tiny cameras so parents wouldn’t catch on.

Sandwich Stories, Take II.

CEO — Mon, 08 Mar 2010 10:25:52 -0800

A few weeks ago I wrote of the joys of the sandwich generation as I hurtled into life’s next juggling act: caring for three kids, my cancer-riddled mother, and my career simultaneously.

Dress for Success?

CEO — Sun, 28 Feb 2010 14:32:35 -0800

When I graduated from college in 1987, I faced grim choices in professional interview attire: navy blue or black suit, cream or white ruffled shirt. A kind of armor. For years my work wardrobe made me want to scream every morning.

Bringing Baby to Work.

CEO — Mon, 22 Feb 2010 11:33:27 -0800

Returning to work 12 weeks after my first baby arrived twisted me inside out even more than the process of giving birth. Leaving my baby felt like the vilest, most unnatural action I’d taken in my adult life.

Kids Find Joy in the Sandwich Situation.

My 75-year-old mother, known as “Grams” to my three kids, is dying of cancer one thousand miles away in Florida. Three months ago she was playing tennis four hours every day. Now she can barely sit up in bed to watch the Australian Open on television.

How to Speak Nanny.

CEO — Mon, 08 Feb 2010 12:29:39 -0800

Lisa Belkin’s 2003 New York Times Magazine article “Abandoning the Climb and Heading Home” pissed me off.

News Flash: Working Moms Have 30 Hours of Leisure Time A Week!

CEO — Mon, 25 Jan 2010 10:01:13 -0800

Last night at a school meeting I told a working mom of third grade triplets that I was writing a story about University of Maryland time diary gurus who insist that working moms have 30 hours of leisure time.

The Tool That Finally Liberated Women.

CEO — Tue, 19 Jan 2010 08:26:01 -0800

When baby number one arrived 13 years ago, I had no email account or Internet connection. My Fortune 100 company used an internal company network – employees were forbidden to use computers to communicate with anyone or conduct any research outside the corporate ‘net.

The Volunteer Momfia

CEO — Mon, 11 Jan 2010 09:26:15 -0800

Get this: 40% of moms with kids under 18 undertake unpaid charitable work each year. Translation: we volunteer a lot. This constitutes a clear sign of insanity, since there are no busier people on the planet than moms with kids under age 18.
