[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm not understanding how all these teleworkers are having their kids interupt them when they are working.  If you're working (telecommuting) you shouldn't be parenting.  If you're parenting, you shouldn't be working.  Gives all of us telecommuters a bad name and potentially ruins the perk for the rest of us.  Get back up child care or take leave![/quote]

I have full time child care from 8 to 6; 9 times out of 10, I have no problem. Occasionally, one kid will be napping and the nanny runs out to drop the other kid off for a play date and the napping one wakes up, or sometimes she'll be helping one kid on the potty and the other will yell upstairs that she needs something, or occasionally the nanny will be preparing dinner and one of the kids will come knock on my door. It's just life. They know to leave me alone if I'm on a call, and most of the time they do.

I suspect everyone here has child care, it's just not possible to never ever ever have a kid interrupt you. [/quote]
