About

Does the phrase ‘work/life balance’ make you snort?  Or laugh in a hollow tone?  Or just break into a cold sweat?

Maybe you work part-time.  Or ‘flexibly’.  Maybe you have kids.  Or care for someone else.

Maybe, like us here at part-timer, you wonder why it feels less like work/life, but work vs. life.

We’re here to think and talk about working, parenting, caring.  We’re certainly not having it all.  We certainly don’t have a magic formula, or a ‘lifestyle’ to offer.  We want to know how you do it (or don’t), how you manage (or don’t).

We’re asking questions, but often don’t have any answers.  We’re learning, people!  We ‘re curious; we need to know about how life is where you are.

Part-time mama is a freelance part-timer, has some kids, and writes.  In theory she’s pretty good  at each of these things.  In practice, doing all three well at the same time?  Not so much.
