Hi Subscriber First Name

This is a major milestone. The triplets have their first settling-in session at pre-school today. This is HUGE for me because, for the first time since they were born, we are eligible for some free childcare (can I get a “Woop Woop”?). I’ll probably spend their first session just dancing around the house and punching the air.

But when I’ve calmed down, I’ve got big plans to push the Fuck Mum Guilt movement forward.

So, it’s back to school for me too. I’ve joined a public speaking program to sharpen up my skills and get my message about breaking up with mum guilt out everywhere I can: in your wellbeing and family networks, in your HR department, in the community. Here’s me in the van on a day out to Broadstairs doing my homework.

I need your voices

Early research points to 4 main problematic expectations of working mums. Can you guess what the biggest is?

Time.

Not just scheduling meetings at 8am or 7pm but also the expectation you’ll be free to stay late. Several mums have told me their bonuses have been cut because they can’t make out of hours events. Is that fair?

I’ll be sharing the other 3 problematic expectations on Linkedin next week, make sure to follow me there and add your voice to the discussion.

Lots of love,

Leila (and the triplets) xxx
