[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Maybe your child's nanny can bring your daughter to meet you for lunch once a week. DH can skype you before bed, you could read a book or sing her a song. You are doing the right thing for your family. [/quote]

WOHM here, and this is some good stuff.  My MS student texts me a lot the days I don't telework, but if the technology was there when he was little...  Why can't you FaceTime for ten minutes at night to read Go Dog Go?  Or get video updates from DH and nanny?  Or take even a 1/2 hour Panera lunch and have the nanny bring DC to you?  Have DH call you each night when DD gets home and put you on speaker phone while he tells you about DD's day?  They are lots of ways to sneak a little bit of kid contact into even the busiest work schedule.  And for this year only, when you are home let everything not essential to health and basic hygiene go, and take care of yourself and enjoy DC.  Outsource the house, the yard, cooking, the laundry, or just don't do it. Anyone can cook.  You and DC need the time more. [/quote]
