[quote=Anonymous]I would say 75% of my friends are in this situation? More the norm than not. I do this with a spouse that has a job with 30-50% travel; I have friends who do this and who are single parents. I think it helps to be in a place where it's the norm rather than not. We have a weekly cleaner and we straighten up the night before she comes. Post-weekend is the messiest -- we are pretty tidy during the week, since we aren't home! Can the kids do homework in aftercare? I basically boycott homework, but my kid is young and I may change my mind on that. What do you mean by 'afterschool activities'? At school, or do you mean that you are shuttling the kids to a soccer practice or some such? All our afterschool activities are incorporated into the school's aftercare program. That would kill me. And I think our aftercare is set up so that it CAN accommodate FT working families -- that's what I mean by being in a place where this is the norm.[/quote]
