What It Really Means To Be A Working Parent, In 32 Candid Photos<\/b>
\nIn 2014, 70.1 percent of mothers and 92.8 percent of fathers with children under 18 were either working or looking for work, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics<\/a>.<\/p>\n

These large numbers of working moms and dads affect the dynamics of parenthood and raising a family today in many ways. Though it may be difficult to sum up the life of a working parent in words, sometimes pictures say it all. Here’s our colleague Kate giving us a glimpse into her experience at a recent Take Your Child To Work Day.<\/p>\n

We posted Kate’s photo and asked the working moms and dads of the HuffPost Parents Facebook community<\/a> for pictures and musings that capture their experiences. Below are 34 of those photos and thoughts about what it means to be a working parent. (Click here for a look at what the stay-at-home parents had to share about their experiences.)<\/a><\/p>\n
