Audience
- Sleep-deprived, stressed out working parents who feel as though they are letting everyone--colleagues/boss, family, and themselves--down every day. This includes both mothers and fathers, and parents who are in all stages of their lives--from those juggling young children and babies to folks who are handling the teenage years and beyond. This is for people of all family structures (married, unmarried, partnered, living in multigenerational homes), and for both knowledge workers and those earning hourly wages.
- A secondary audience would include folks who are considering becoming parents or who are expecting their first kid, and there could be a third smaller audience of childless bosses or administrators (HR) who are trying to better understand what their employees are up against.
