After seeing the myriad threads here from women trying to juggle family, work and home responsibilities I realized I want to read more. I wonder if one of the frum magazines could make a weekly column out of it.
Instead of mishpachas “women to know” who are all superheros in their communities, I’d love to see regular everyday women profiled. How they manage to get everything done, their tips and tricks and what they often let slide. Real life and expectations.
Like “a day in the life of...”
I think we would all learn from each other, and also help us evaluate our own expectations. It would also be eye opening for those still choosing a profession and lifestyle.
Any thoughts?

I think that's an awesome idea. It would especially be useful in helping break down some stigmas that still surrounded the community by profiling ppl who deal with things like mental health issues. Physical illness. Difficult family. Etc.

I'd pitch it if I'd have time. I recently had something printed, but I'm too busy to pitch someone else's idea.
Well if they think it's a good idea they'll hire someone else to write it.

I love it - that’s a great idea. And as one of the other imas said, an absolutely vital opportunity to raise issues that affect us but that we keep quiet about, except on here.

Love. Mishpacha, Binah, Ami, what do you think? (In case they have alerts for their names.)

So let's make our own column about it here There have been threads about these topics -- have you read any of them? They were good.
