1. I would be very angry
2. I think it is really difficult to have it all. Women need help at home to have success at their jobs
3. Shared responsibilities at home and work-life balance policies and work flexibility.
4. I totally agree with this comment

Good effort writing your answers to your lesson’s discussion questions. Remember to elaborate on your responses as much as you can. For example, in Question #1, you can explain why you would be very angry. Also, for Question # 4, you can expand on why you agree with the said statement.

In addition, do not forget to write your answer in a full sentence:

Shared responsibilities at home and work-life balance policies and work flexibility.

Sharing responsibilities at home and having work-life balance policies and work flexibility are just some of the things that could help me cope with being a working parent.

Nice work.
