[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I love love love staying home with my kids and cannot understand women crawling out of their skin taking care of their kids all day and working. I working from home, while my husband is the main breadwinner by a lot, and he helps with the kids and home as well. This quarantine has made us both SO thankful that I CAN stay home with the kids, that I have a purposeful job from home, that I enjoy all the time with the kids and in the home, and that we have adapted well to this new temporary life. It is really ideal for kids to be met by a parent after school, spend the bulk of their free time with their family, this is the natural order of life and you can feel it’s true in your heart.

Lol, I love being with my kids and agree that kids should spend the bulk of their time at home with their family (if DH and I didn’t have flexibility and family help I’d have SAH).

BUT, taking care of young kids WHILE WORKING is not fun for anyone unless you have a really lame job. Do you?[/quote]

No way! My job in international development communications is rad and fulfilling and yes it’s hard to manage both! Kids are 7 and 4.5 and able to hang out on their own for lego time, reading etc.  don’t get all het up!!! No need to get angry. It’s okay for me to share my own perspective, it is time
Management and acknowledging that there are ups and downs. [/quote]

You’re working 8 hours a day, during which your kids are independent? A) I don’t believe you. B) If your kids are really that independent, then what’s the benefit of you being at home?[/quote]
