This week I am guest-blogging over at PhD in Parenting. I put up a mother of a post over there, honestly, it is huge. You give me an inch on your blog.
Come and join the conversation, it is about why a mothers’ revolution hasn’t kicked off already.

You’re an economist, bluemilk? I am very impressed. I have always wanted to understand more of the Financial Review than just the Friday lawyer’s gossip pages.
Oh, and the article is brilliant and thought-provoking, but that really goes without saying for your work.
Claire – awww thank you.
I waded in over there cuz I couldn’t help myself, even though I think I’m way out of my depth on the scholarship.
But I wanted to say that it is nice to know that you are an economist, because now I get where some of your excellent insights into feminist issues come from. Unbelievably, I got my undergrad degree from the University of Chicago and never took a single econ class. It is a great regret of mine. I think having some econ training would give me a better basis to really understand some of the issues that motherhood has raised for me. For instance, I once wrote a long post about why I think I’m so happy as a work-outside-the-home mom (http://www.wandering-scientist.com/2009/06/happy.html, if you’re curious). I’m acutely aware that money plays a big part in this, but anytime I really try to tease that out, my brain goes all fuzzy.
Anyway, great post over there- but no surprise, your “meaty” posts are always great.
