End the Mommy Wars

Decribe your idea

End the Mommy Wars by ensuring technology, systems and social process used by mothers are grounded in the 21st C. Allow women to admire rather than fight others choices by ensuring all options are grounded in success. Enable a village in our fragmented society. Create micro care communities among socially connected families - team of nannies, families and children, forming a collective safety net - affordability for families, security of income for providers, socialization for children. Connect with downstream commerce. Mothering tools for the 21st C. My daughter gets to participate in different social circles and gets the feeling she is part of a larger community - I come home with such peace of mind, it's truly liberating!"

Why do you want to share your idea with TEDxUChicago in 2013?

TEDXUCHICAGO will in an amazing way both benefit from a paradigm shifting perspective on this culture war… and ideate aspects of our peace plan

The US and Euro Zone has achieved gender equality in education, the same goal is currently well funded in developing economies.

But only 35% of top tier female graduates work full time nine years after graduation – mostly due to the core Mommy War issue “who takes care of the kids”

The costs of war is wasted resources. The Mommy Wars… waste women’s/societal resources because the choice to stay home with kids is due to a lack of good enough alternatives. Gender equality in education cannot translate to gender equality in leadership until the Mommy Wars end.
