The Super Pals agreed: coming off the Mother's Day holiday made them yearn for quality time with their kids even more. And they're not alone. According to a CareerBuilder.com article, Advice for Working Moms, 44% of working moms say they would take a pay cut if it meant they could spend more time at home with the kids, and almost half say if their families could survive on a single income they would leave the working world all together. However, the ladies gathered with Girlawhirl said the latter wasn't an option for them – so another alternative had to be agreed upon.

One Super Pal said the only reason she can handle double-duty as mom and half of a bread-winning team is because she found a company that allows flexibility in her schedule and on-site daycare, so she can check in with her kids at coffee and lunch breaks. She also told her friends there are many companies out there that have similar programs; they just have to put in the legwork to find the best option for their lifestyle. They can also ask their current bosses to consider a flexible schedule if they like their current job too much to move on.

But even better, the Super Pal assured her friends her choice to work the motherhood-route hasn't affected her ability to advance in her career – a selling point for the rest of the moms at the table.

For suggestions on how to better balance corporate and home life, and to find a list of companies with some of the best programs for working mothers, Girlawhirl told her Super Pals to check out CareerBuilder.com's Advice for Working Moms.
