#work-family-balance

For years, I've organized New York parents to fight for affordable child care. I've heard countless stories of families crushed by steep annual bills, watched friends choose between careers and children, seen working families flee the city they love because raising kids here costs too much. So when I got pregnant late last year, I thought I was prepared. I knew the statistics, knew the policy, had spent years demanding better from City Hall. How hard could it be? I was completely wrong.
