I don't mind mixing home life with work because I can still keep track of what I need to do at home. However, while my husband doesn't mind have work interruptions at home, I do because it throws off his priorities. He's more easily distracted by multitasking, imo.

Being married to your job is the price that you pay to move up the ladder. Period.

The women who are advancing in the corporate world are doing a good job of that already.

That's because they still have dinner to make and laundry to fold.

Curious. I'm very glad to say I'm in a job that doesn't intrude in my home life at all, but if it did, it wouldn't be guilt I'd feel. I'd just be mightily pissed off!

Mind you, I'm guessing this article might refer to women who are parents, mostly - another role I am glad not to have, lol.
