That's the theory behind The Juggling Act, an ongoing chronicle on New York's public radio station, WNYC. The series explores the ways men and women navigate -- or struggle to navigate -- between their jobs and their families. The editors of Salon.com's Mothers Who Think and WNYC invite you to tell the boss to hold on for a minute, ask the kids to wait for soccer practice, and join us in honoring the juggling act that we perform everyday. Throughout January, five contributors to Mothers Who Think will broadcast their commentaries on WNYC's The Juggling Act. Here on Salon.com, you can listen to the essays, interact with the Mothers Who Think writers, and learn more about the topics covered in the series:

"When my sister-in-law discovered she was expecting a baby boy, her coworkers at a national liberal magazine offered their condolences.

"I'm a working mom, and I feel guilty. Guilty because I can't always be there for my kids. Guilty because I think going to work is Club Med compared to staying home with small children."
