A <strong><a id="e1vz" title="Working Mom - Information for Working Mothers" href="http://www.modernmami.com/category/working-mom/">working mom</a></strong> needs all the help she can get.</p>
<p>We need help with <strong><a id="pisj" title="dinner menu tips - planning a dinner menu for your family" href="http://www.modernmami.com/working-mom/dinner-menu-planning/">planning dinner</a></strong>, <strong><a id="v6r9" title="cleaning schedule for the busy mom" href="http://www.modernmami.com/women/working-mom-housework/">cleaning the house</a></strong>, <strong><a id="e0ca" title="work-life balance tips and information" href="http://www.modernmami.com/tag/work-life-balance/">work life balance</a></strong>, and <strong><a id="vs7:" title="Finding Time Alone - Ways for a Busy Mom to Squeeze in Me Time" href="http://www.modernmami.com/life/get-me-time-alone/">time for ourselves</a></strong>.</p>
<p>So, I&#8217;m always on the lookout for new resources and sites that offer some tips.</p>
<p>I use <a id="zcr7" title="modernmami on delicious" href="http://delicious.com/modernmami">delicious</a> to keep track of all my resources, and I <em>love </em>to collect resources. But&#8230;that&#8217;s another conversation.</p>
<p>Here are a few resources I&#8217;ve found that I think you might enjoy.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p><img class="alignright" title="Working Dad" src="http://www.modernmami.com/wp-content/images/dad_baby_pic6.jpg" alt="Working Dad" width="298" height="446" /><strong>SAHM &#8211; </strong>Stay at home mom.</p>
<p><strong>WAHM &#8211; </strong>Work at home mom.<strong></strong></p>
<p><strong>WOHM &#8211; </strong>Work outside the home mom.<strong></strong></p>
<p>There are many labels out there to classify just what type of <em>mami </em>you are.</p>
<p>I am what you would consider a WOHM, since I work full-time outside the home. I&#8217;m also commonly referred to as a <a title="Working Mothers ModernMami.com" href="http://www.modernmami.com/category/working-mom/"><strong>working mother</strong></a>.</p>
<p>However, <strong><a href="http://miss-britt.com/">Miss Britt</a></strong> (co-author of the <em><a href="http://www.workitmom.com/bloggers/fulltimeallthetime/">Full Time, All the Time</a></em> blog at <em><a href="http://www.workitmom.com">Work It, Mom!</a></em>) raises a good point in her post &#8220;<strong><a title="working dads" href="http://www.workitmom.com/bloggers/fulltimeallthetime/2009/01/07/where-are-all-the-working-dads/">Where are all the working dads?</a></strong>&#8221;</p>
<p>She writes:</p>
<blockquote><p>Why is it that <strong>Working Mom</strong> is an identity all its own, with support groups and message boards and blogs and research &#8211; and <strong>Working Dad</strong> is little more than an after thought?</p></blockquote>
<p>I have to admit that I&#8217;ve never really heard the term <em>working dad</em> and have not heard any dads classify themselves as one.</p>
<p>But&#8230;my husband&#8230;he&#8217;s a working dad. He struggles with many of the same issues I do in trying to find a balance between the work and home lives.</p>
<p>But, why is it <strong>different </strong>for men?</p>
<p>Read <a href="http://www.workitmom.com/bloggers/fulltimeallthetime/2009/01/07/where-are-all-the-working-dads/">Miss Britt&#8217;s post</a> and then come back to <strong>chime in with your thoughts in the comments below</strong>.</p>
