[quote=Anonymous]OP I think people are being really rough on you. I understand that inattentive ADD makes the things that everyone else perceives as a piece of cake very daunting and overwhelming.

First, although the you did not use your JD I would encourage you to stop framing yourself as never having had a career. It sounds like you were a teacher and now you want a career change.

Second, moms who work out of the home full time do use before and aftercare and babysitters for some sick days (frankly, depending on where they live, it's harder to get babysitters for snow days). This is balanced of course by how much you make- some women find they are working just to cover childcare costs and they would rather not, while others either make more or get enough value out of the job that the arrangement isn't a problem for them.

Third, you aren't a failure. It would probably help you to get a clearer picture on the type of career you'd like to pursue (if any, after some research you may find you like your situation just fine) and then look into some professional organizations. Lots of people with less than linear resumes need to network into opportunities rather than just submit applications online.

Good luck OP! I hope you are able to make some changes or find satisfaction in your current setup.[/quote]
