The authors, parents of six grown children, have been married for nearly 40 years. The authors begin by underscoring the difficulty that working parents face in trying to provide for their family financially, take care of a house, yet somehow find enough time to spend with the children. As the Joneses state. Someone else may well see your child take his first step, utter her first word. In this way, a woman may decide to get a good education, work to establish her career, take time off to raise a family, then return to her career or begin a new career at a later time.
Many parents wonder how it can be financially feasible for a family to survive on one income.
The Joneses offer many examples of how to live frugally. However, these three books offer parents alternatives to taking a few months maternity leave after a baby is born, finding a child care provider, and going back to work. There are many possibilities available to parents who want to maintain a professional life while putting their families first.
