Working mothers

I read an article in New York Times called "Working Mothers Find Peace on the Road" by Lisa W. Foderaro. This article talks about how in America, most families the father is working to support the kids, and their wife. But the number of working mothers and stay at home fathers is growing rapidly. For many others, work business trips become like mini vacations. They can escape cooking, cleaning and things like homework. Although businesswomen are less likely to travel on a business trip then men, when they do it takes a lot of preparation. The need to prepare the smooth running of the house and make sure everything will be okay for the time period their gone. Although to many women an out of town business trip is relaxing, it is always very emotional too. Mothers having to leave their children when they go away is always sad.
