[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My mentor at work has three children and I really look up to her because (as far as i can tell) she does a good job of finding a work/life balance.  I got a chance to casually ask her if she has any tips for working moms and she bluntly said "I throw money at every single problem I can.  House cleaning, grocery & dry clean delivery, landscape contract, i don't make cookies i buy them, i don't go to class parties but i get pizzas delivered to them, i pay a concierge fee at the doctors to have preference, i pay 7.99 to have a button sewed on my jacket instead of taking 20 minutes to do it, I pay anyone anything to save time."  It was so direct and matter of fact I was kind of stunned but Ive been thinking about it for a few hours and I can't help but thing she's right.  How much of my life am I willing to outsource to make it so I have two things to do in life 1.) work 2.) raise my kids.  Interesting food for thought.  I personally think I am going to add a housecleaner (already have a landscaper).  [/quote]

she does not know what she is talking about. it takes less than 5 minutes to get the sewing kit, thread the needle, tie a knot, sew on button, tie another knot, snip, and put away the sewing kit. would not trust a thing out of her mouth.[/quote]
