I'm in dire need of some help!

I just started writing for Examiner.com as the Orlando Working Moms Examiner. I've printed out an editorial calendar to give me some ideas on what to write, but it's been a little bumpy. Yes, I know I've been writing for them for all of 2 weeks. And, yes, I know I don't need to post something every day. But I could sure use some help finding some compelling topics that related to Working Moms (and, really, don't all moms work?).

If you're a mom, what are some things in the news or around you that concern/irk/interest you? And if you're a dad, what are some things that you'd be interested in reading about? (And if you're not a parent, what are some topics that would still pique your interest?)

Thanks in advance!

Check into mommies and daddies taking FMLA and topics associated with it. Being that I teach, planning babies to arrive during the summer/ "off" time works well for me, but my husband had to tap into FMLA as a working daddy. He, working in a primarily female environment, was ironically looked at quite funny when he wanted so much leave, and once he returned, things were never quite the same for him, for the time away was almost held against him, especially being male. Make sense? I would love to read more about companies, co-workers, and individuals deal with such.

Maybe family activities that can be done after working hours? I don't know about your area, but a lot of the city run family activities are weekend or during the day. Weekends are usually pretty busy without fitting family activities into the picture, so maybe some families would want to go out on a Tuesday or Wednesday instead?

Well, as a working non-parent (a new, formerly un-tapped demographic, har!) I really, really liked your recent time-saving-tips article. As a perpetually late person (I was born a week early and have spent my life making up for that) I can always use time-saving tips.

I guess that didn't give you a subject, did it? Well. When I think of one, I'll email you but for now I'll just say I love your articles even though I don't have kiddos. :o)

A Dad would like to know more about how to take care of his wife & the expectant baby when his wife is pregnant, you can write something on this topic.

Can I get some feedback?
