Thank you for this insightful post, Victoria! As a working parent, I found it affirming.

I agree wholeheartedly with your debunking of the stereotype that parenting decreases productivity. On the contrary, I've found my multitasking, empathy, and time management skills have significantly improved since becoming a parent.

Your call for employers to address unconscious biases and create supportive work environments for all employees resonates strongly. Flexible work schedules are not compromises, but rather strategic initiatives that can enhance productivity and employee satisfaction.

Your courage in tackling these stigmas is commendable. This post is an important reminder for everyone to reassess their perceptions about working parents and the benefits of flexible work arrangements. Thanks for initiating this crucial conversation.
