Listener Questions (Vol. 31): Episode 304



A stay-at-home mom wonders how best to re-enter the workforce, and another listener has questions about how to talk about working motherhood with our young kids. A mom of big kids wants our opinions on when it’s OK to leave them home alone–and how best to get started. Listener voicemails about house rules around swearing and the conflicting emotions of motherhood round out another Listener Questions episode this week. It’s a fun one–join us!

    To the parents looking to return to work, try the book Ask A Manager by Alison Green. Quick read, fantastic advice, clearly lays out how to answer tricky interview questions, and great advice for negotiating salary.
