[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]^ And I love that my kids were able to spend a ton of time one-on-one with me in the morning and DH in the evening. It played to both of our strengths bc I’m good at planning fun outings, while he excels in making the dinner/bath routine enjoyable. We both did bedtime.[/quote]

So why do care about the comment the OP is talking about that has nothing to do with you? Your insecurity and defensiveness really don’t square with what you’re saying.[/quote]

I don’t really care about the “raising” comment because you’re right, it doesn’t apply to me, or to any other engaged mom whether they work or not.

However, it is absolutely true that a traditional setup with both spouses working 9-5 commuting is not conducive to really connecting with your kids in a relaxed manner. (I myself don’t find the evening routine relaxed).

So maybe I am trying to inspire other WOHMs who love their jobs but are on the fence of quitting, that they can try  this alternate path of staggering hours? I probably would have quit if I hadn’t been able to do it, but I am very lucky to have been able to, and would love other families to do it too.[/quote]
