If you’re a parent who works, you’re in good company. Last year, 70.1 percent of moms and 92.8 percent of dads of kids under 18 were employed or looking for work, according to a Bureau of Labor Statistics report. So in honor of all the working parents out there, Huffington Post gathered a series of lovely photos of what holding down a job while raising children really means.
In some of the 32 images, moms and dads are holding their kids–sleeping and awake–in their arms or baby carriers as they type on the computer or talk on the phone. Others show children “working” at their parents’ desks or playing under them.
And it isn't just parents at the office–some of the pics represent various work-from-home jobs, while others are yoga and dance teachers, entrepreneurs, hospital workers, hair stylists, DJs, members of the military and even farmers.
You’ll probably see a bit of yourself or your partner or spouse in some of the shots. And don’t worry, they did a comparable series for stay-at-home parents too (more on that soon)! Whether they resemble your life or not, though, a word of caution: Once you start clicking through these incredible photos, you won’t be able to look away!
