Being a Working Parent in the Workplace

One tripwire i see is people under communicating about being a working parent in the work place. No matter how efficient and balanced we are in managing work and parenting, there are still moments that we feel badly about. What is your advice for dealing with those feelings of guilt that sometimes crop up? You need to be pretty direct and pretty open about it. Don't assume that your boss, or that your colleagues, or that the people around you and your life are clairvoyant. Be comfortable advocating for yourself.
