You admit this outright and right at the beginning yet then argue that you ARE engaged.  Are you talking on your phone a lot while w/ them (even if during transit or homework time)?  Try to honestly think what you are doing and whether you consider it being a focused employee during your work hours.  Then, with that in mind, do ask MB for examples so you have a concrete idea of what she is talking about.[/quote]

Maybe preoccupied is the wrong word to use...  I'm not standing in the corner on the phone all day or in another room or leaving the kids to themselves.  In fact, I am NEVER on the phone during work.  When I say preoccupied, I mean that while I'm playing board games or cooking dinner for the kids I am also SOMETIMES thinking about the other stuff I have to do, especially on particularly stressful days.  It's human, I think.  Maybe she should hire a nanny that doesn't have another job or school?[/quote]
