What It Really Means To Be A Working Parent, In 32 Candid Photos
In 2014, 70.1 percent of mothers and 92.8 percent of fathers with children under 18 were either working or looking for work, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

These large numbers of working moms and dads affect the dynamics of parenthood and raising a family today in many ways. Though it may be difficult to sum up the life of a working parent in words, sometimes pictures say it all. Here’s our colleague Kate giving us a glimpse into her experience at a recent Take Your Child To Work Day.

We posted Kate’s photo and asked the working moms and dads of the HuffPost Parents Facebook community for pictures and musings that capture their experiences. Below are 34 of those photos and thoughts about what it means to be a working parent. (Click here for a look at what the stay-at-home parents had to share about their experiences.)
