of course parents should be “present” with their children, but I truly believe that (attentive) TIME is the thing children crave most from their parents. This one is my fav, by far! This is rambly, anyway thanks for sharing! @pj and @kassie, thanks for the suggestions! Oh Erica, I love that you talk about strolling through Target alone as a luxury! I wasn’t sure I could love South Park anymore but now, knowing that such a rad chick is part of the SP team, I do. Yes! Newsflash: most mothers do NOT have this choice – they can’t afford a nanny, and they can’t afford to stay at home. The working mom is a slave to her schedule & boss & commute etc…, not me! Gees Joanna! I don’t consider both spouses being gone for 60 hours a week any kind of balance. it’s not just a luxury, it’s unattainable for most parents, even if they both work. ), http://www.savorthelittlethings.blogspot.com. Why wouldn’t you admire your mother for her achievements in the home, AND outside the home? No, these women might not have your schedule. I think I miss garbagey TV the most. Maybe working moms with a single income? Erica Rivinoja is a manufacturer and article writer, known for Cloudy having a Potential for Meatballs 2 (2013), South Recreation area (1997) and Trolls (2016). but was later “too busy” at work. Erica Rivinoja thank you! It’s funny because a few days ago I was just thinking how it would be a good idea if you wrote posts on balancing work and having a baby. Last summer’s first balance series about moms who work from home. Great series, but I’d just like to echo a few of the previous comments. Either you can afford for someone to watch your child, or you stay home”. I love how honest she is about everything and I hate judgemental people. Now we really have to make time for each other. I’ve been thinking that all week and something working moms should remember when they start to get the guilt! I am also someone outside of raising my daughter. We still try to take a big trip just the two of us each year—since Ivan was born, we’ve gone to Hawaii, Israel and Spain—but I find that people are very judgmental of us leaving the baby at home with his grandparents and our nanny. I grew up with both parents working full time, my mom as a lawyer, dad in business. Erica Rivinoja is known for her work on The Last Man on Earth (2015), Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs 2 (2013) and South Park (1997). They both seem very difficult and stressful in it’s own very different way. No offense, but thats what I see. She did so much for me and weekends were always such an adventure. My work at “South Park” is usually only about a half day, so I also get to see Ivan in the afternoons and evenings on those days. My mum had been a preschool teacher but by the time we left home, she’d been out of the workforce for so long she’d totally lost her confidence to go back. I was so grateful for the Atlantic article and purposely left it at her house. I feel like everyone is out there to shame those of us who don’t have time (or money) to eat all-organic and local fare and only feed our kids whole foods. 61%. Screenwriter I’ve read articles about men having a midlife crisis and running off with their secretary and the wife, who was a stay at home mum, has been out of the workforce for so long that she struggles to find a job. So many of the stay at home mums (my own included) lost their purpose. I cannot but agree with Erica when she says that women should not loose themselves in their identity as a mother. I second seeing some SAHM/D posts – would love that! Erica Rivinoja, Producer: The Last Man on Earth. I don’t want to worry about childcare and not being able to go when I please. Sorry, that came out cheesy. People are always going to be upset about what they cannot afford. That seems to be the point of your series. For example “You were a woman before you had your children. I don’t relate at all.Daria. Even if financially I did not have to work I still feel working (as a creative person) and connecting with likeminded individuals is the thing I want and need to do. But to say it’s so your son has you as a role model? My child is 7, and I STILL feel so happy when I get an uninterrupted hour to just rome Target by myself. I’m simply a mom. Christy had a great idea on working moms in other countries. <3. She is a great role model, and a great mother, who always spent time with us, despite having to work very long hours. Erica Rivinoja was one of the screenwriters for the animated film, Trolls. 2. I work in advertising, am working on my masters and have found this life as a new mom to be completely overwhelming. Thanks Jo and all the brave moms out there! When do you typically hang with your child? Joanna did your read the Atlantic cover article on “Why women still can’t have it all.” It was so interesting. Anyhow. :) :). ?” Quality not quantity is a good one to go by when it comes to being a working mama. I don’t think it does either way. I asked him why he gets sick everytime his mom is not working and he told me that he misses her…alot! childcare and time always brings out strong opinions. This is by far my favorite of a great series. ), it’s hard to gleen any real tips for making the balance. 9. 3. I love the honesty of saying you loved your life before your child, but that you wouldn’t trade what you have now for that life. Your blog is amazing Joanna, great ideas and writing. (of course, I also understand that a significant downside of losing yourself in sahm–which is what I happen to be–is that you have no money cushion if your world falls apart.). My mother raised me to never be “one man away from welfare” (her words, not mine) and now she has accused me of wasting my college and grad degree. What bravery! We always encourage women to remain true to themselves in relationships with their significant others, but to wholly lose themselves in their children.

Erica Rivinoja is a writer and consulting producer for the sitcom “Up All Night” and a writer/producer for “South Park.” She lives in L.A. with her husband, Prince, and their two-year-old son, Ivan. Everyone’s situation is different and just because these women are successful doesn’t mean they don’t feel the same way as other women and just because they may have more financial means doesn’t mean going to work is guilt free or finding balance is easy, it also doesn’t mean they look down on women who stay at home. She also wrote the original story for DreamWorks Animation's Trolls (2016). I would not struggle to find out who I am or define myself, as I already strongly knew that before I had her and can maintain that independent of a job. HAHA! I hope she will read it and consider my perspective.
