Would You Tell Potential Employer You Were Pregnant?
It's a tough economy and some pregnant job seekers are pushing hard to find employment before their babies are born. Mamas-to-be aren't legally bound to tell potential bosses that they are expecting and until the women show there's no way the "powers that be" know.
Would you spill on your situation or keep it under wraps?
How Does Your Work Influence Your Choices?
A woman's got to do what a woman's got to do. Whether she's stripping to pay for her daughter's education or arguing court cases in front of the Supreme Court, moms often find a way to make ends meet to take care of their cubs at home. Some mommies are more proud of their professions while others try to hide the truth from their children.

Have You Gone "Mommy" on a Stranger?
Motherhood brings a whole new perspective to a woman's life. Moms jump up to offer their seats to expectant ladies on the bus and rush to aid a lost child at a mall. It is in their nature to fawn over small smiles and get teary when they see a babe in need, but sometimes when they're feeling feisty enough, mamas can huff up and pull out the mommy guns on complete strangers.
Ever Left a Dirty Diaper For Someone Else to Change?
Parenting is a dirty job, but someone has to do it. When it comes to diapering, many parents use the rule, "He who smelt it, changes it," which usually has both sides equally elbow deep in soiled nappies. However, some sneaky (and tired) mamas and papas looking to score a break from diaper duty have admitted to leaving a stinky one for their counterpart to find and change.
Help a Single Mama Out — Be That Woman!
No doubt about it — parenting is the toughest job... period. The only thing that could make it harder is the prospect of being a single mom holding down a job in a tough economy.
What Is Your Worst Mom Fail?
If mama gets one thing crossed off her to-do list in a single day, she's done a good job. Most mothers will admit it's near impossible to keep up with school schedules, the grocery list, car maintenance, birthday parties and everything else relegated to dear old mom. On last night's "The Trip" episode of The Middle, daughter Sue Heck sells enough cheese and sausage for her school's fundraiser to earn her a trip to Indianapolis.
Delilicious: Monster Candy Eyeballs
I know it is only a short while before my lil ones come home with bags of treats, so I wanted to try to make my own candy! Epicurious had a great recipe for a frightful version of buckeye candy; traditionally it is a peanut butter ball that is then coated in a thin layer of chocolate. With a little creative dunking and a bag of M&M's, these candies are transformed into a spooky, yet, scrumptious monster eyeball.
Mama's Hiding Her Pregnancy For a Raise
Pregnancy is to be celebrated but there are rare occasions when a woman tries to hide her expectant status to reap the benefits of a vacant womb, especially in the workplace. In the "Never Judge a Lady by Her Lover" episode of Desperate Housewives, Carlos gives Lynette a promotion that she initially tries to reject knowing she has two babies in her belly. When the boss man mentions the salary increase, she quickly takes the offer and keeps her mouth shut about her impending arrivals.
New York Mom Hits the Weed to Cope With Work and Wee One
The word stoner doesn't necessarily conjure up the image of a working woman with a kid, but some mothers find that smoking a bowl allows them to find better balance between career and child. A recent article in Marie Claire included an interview with mama Rachel Murphy, who routinely inhales after she puts her young daughter to bed. In order to secure an insurance policy, the New Yorker had to resort to chugging Ready Clean, which her husband was none to thrilled about.
We've Got a Place to Hide When Things Get Too Hot
Many a mother likes to say, "If you can't handle the heat, get out of the kitchen." But the truth of the matter is that moms are often the ones who need a break from the cucina. Hair-pulling youngsters, whining toddlers and colicky babies can drive a mommy crazy.
