I think as moms we feel we have to be "super" in every area and aspect. It just ins't possible whether we are at home or working outside the home. I believe working at home gives us a huge advantage over working outside the home. If the school does call, we can stop what we are doing and not have to explain our absence to anyone, we don't lose pay and feel that frustration. We just pick our kids up, tuck them in with some hot soup and go back to work. We might have to say "I can't play right now" but we can also say "I will take a break in one hour and then we will play for twenty minutes" we couldn't say that if we were outside the home. If we have to work and contribute to the income I would rather do it here. We feel we are neglectful in some areas because we are great moms and want to do it all. Someday, somewhere, some mom will figure out how to make it ALL happen!

My twins will be 13 very soon and although it's been a real pleasure being here if the school calls when they are sick -- it's been a real struggle because it seems I neglected them in other areas just so I could have the luxury of "staying at home."<BR/><BR/>It really is a struggle - I truly believe work from home mom's work twice as hard and twice as long just to have that benefit.<BR/><BR/>Good luck with your own challenges.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
