Netroots Nation: MOMocrats Join MotherTalkers Rocking the Caucus

This week, I have the privilege of co-hosting the Parents' Caucus at Netroots Nation on behalf of the MOMocrats, along with Elisa Batista of MotherTalkers. This isn't your average mommyblogger conference panel. First, it's a caucus, more like an open discussion with all of the members. Anyone who's a NN10 attendee and a parent is welcome to come and speak. Second, we're discussing tough issues affecting parents with progressive views. And third, it's going to be a lot of fun.

What is the pay disparity between a single mother and a man? What percentage of fathers are primary caregivers? We've got a trivia contest, so bone up on your facts. Prizes will be given to those who answer the most questions correctly. (Hint: prepare for our trivia challenge by reading or viewing The Motherhood Manifesto, checking out MomsRising.org, and the Census bureau for info on parents and children.)

But more than that, it's a chance to talk to others who face similar concerns as parents, caregivers, and Americans. Learn about what's happening in Congress and at the White House regarding workplace flexibility, and global programs dedicated to helping educate women and girls.

So if you're in Las Vegas, please join me, Elisa, and the other MOMocrats (Joanne, aka Punditmom, and Cynthia, Cynematic) and MotherTalkers at the Netroots Nation Parents' Caucus in Miranda 5 at the Rio at 10:30 Friday morning. Kids are welcome too!

Do not rely on the approval of others to develop your confidence, when you realize your own value, when you decided to choose a behavior,and do not feel depressed if others against. Because it is a natural phenomenon, others are not Sage.

In this case there would be a tendency to estimate returns from investments too high and inflation too low.
