[quote=Anonymous]NP - I have a nanny in the mornings and afternoons and my husband works three days a week from home on a fairly flexible schedule (he makes nearly $1M a year in the private sector). I also have a housekeeper who comes two days a week to handle laundry and cleaning. I am one of the fortunate ones who didn’t have a hard time making the change to RTO.

I didn’t need to be home to do childcare, pickups/drop offs, or household tasks and I’m still miserable just one week in. I just liked being around the house for my kids. In the mornings I’d run downstairs around 8:00 am to make myself a cup of coffee and kiss each of them goodbye. My daughter would come by my office to ask me if her outfit was okay or to help her with her hairbow. Sometimes my kids wanted a special lunch so I’d spent my 30 min lunch grabbing chipotle and dropping it off. I also would linger at my desk after my scheduled ended bc I was focused and wanted to get something done or bc something urgent came up. Without a long commute I picked my son up from daycare at 5pm and had a bit of time to spend with him before doing the dinner/bath/bedtime routine. It also made my travel days easier bc I didn’t feel like I was already away from my kids a lot.

I don’t understand why this has become such an insulting discussion. Some people just like to be around their families.[/quote]
