[quote=Anonymous]A job which required learning new skills, long hours, and the ability to bounce back from failure multiple times and try again. Also growing up middle class where we cleaned our own house and outsource almost nothing. Also a boss from hell who I had to learn to deal with until I was able to find another job. Babies (and now older kids) require a fair amount of physical work, which is boring and tedious but requires attention to detail. My job was exactly like that for many hours. The emotional part of it also requires the ability to stay cool under pressure especially when you want to scream. I also learned when to call in some help. Two of my kids have special needs which impact their daily lives and I needed support to learn how to help them. [/quote]
