[quote=Anonymous]I've worked for WAH parents twice, and the circumstances of both were important and made each experience completely different.

First time: WAH mom in the typical WAH job. Little office on the first floor, on her computer joining occassional conference calls. She would come see the kids frequently causing issues, come when she heard any crying, and not tell them to leave if they burst into her office (even if she was on a call!) It was hell and I quit after 7 or 8 months.

Second time: WAH dad but only at home because they had a production studio in the house and 10 other employees working there 9-5. I think the fact that is was downstairs, a real obvious job with obvious work being done, other employees, and a fair amount of discipline from dad that I never had to ask the kids to not disturb dad, we never saw him before the end of the day unless he was leaving the house for a meeting or something, the kids were used to knowing dad was nearby but not accessable.  The job was and is amazing and I am still with the family years later even though the home office has moved out to a bigger space to support more employees.

So it depends on the circumstances. But the typical thought of a WAH parent in an office popping in and out is a no go for me.[/quote]
