[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think with the right ground rules and a good house set up it can work. It's important to make sure parents understand that unless they have time to spend with their child, it's best to stay out of sight and then visit over lunch etc when they have time to play. Otherwise they're essentially teasing their kid who badly wants their attention and can't have it. Which obviously isn't fair to the child.

I've worked with SAHPs and one SAHM. All working situations were fine because we understood our roles and had basic boundaries to help the day run smoothly. I heavily screen for personality when I'm looking for work and tend to only work with people I would otherwise like spending time with. It helps eliminate micro managers, obsessive and garden variety weirdos.[/quote]

I'm a WAH/SAHM (work part time). My kids have never known any differently, and it works fine. One of the major reasons it works is that their nannies have been awesome and fun, and I'm boring. I actually mean this; they want to see me, but if the nanny is heading to the park, or pulling out a game, they'd much rather hang with her. So it's all fine.[/quote]
