| Dear siliconmom: I'm a reporter working on a story about "cyber bullies"-- kids who torment other classmates by IM, e-mail, text messages etc, instead of the usual stuff in the playground. If your child is a victim, I would like to do a brief phone interview to discuss how you are dealing with the situation. Email rkonrad@ap.org or call my office (408) 293 2324. I am sensitive to the fact that some children might not want their names or schools mentioned in the story. Thanks! RachelKonrad |

| LETTERS Dear siliconmom: I am an MBA mom who took 10 years off the career track to travel the world with a spouse's career and raise 3 children. I took a big gulp when I left my job, 30, pregnant and jumped into a new life. I have always been confident about my abilities and have taken courses to update my computing skills...etc I am trying to reenter the career track but am having a very hard time being taken seriously. My resume is viewed as odd. It appears inconsistent to be passionate about your career and then passionate about raising your children. Any insights? ANON. MOM We hear you sister! Please send us your email and we can talk further... If YOU have any views on this you'd like to share, click on the "contact us" button below: *** |
