I like shifting the focus from work/life balance to work/life integration. It seems much more appropriate than the former. At this point in my life, I am only a wife and a (was) a woman with a career moving forward. We want children, but I honestly am terrified of what that means to my career ambitions. My husband is currently the only one working while I was the only one working for the past few years while he finished school. We relocated for his job. I recently had a conversation about work load and how I'm taking on more of the "household" responsibilities...but that simply isn't true. I do the exact same as when I was working. Nothing new. So, I wonder how much heavier my workload will get when you add kids into the mix. How do we express our desire for work/life integration with our partners? Particularly if we are now working from home? This is an excellent post! I like shifting the focus from work/life balance to work/life integration. It seems much more appropriate than the former.

My husband is currently the only one working while I was the only one working for the past few years while he finished school. We relocated for his job. I recently had a conversation about work load and how I’m taking on more of the “household” responsibilities…but that simply isn’t true. I do the exact same as when I was working. Nothing new. So, I wonder how much heavier my workload will get when you add kids into the mix.

How do we express our desire for work/life integration with our partners? Particularly if we are now working from home?
