When my daughter is at school, my son is doing an activity of sorts..I will work. When they need my attention, I stop. I spend many evenings after they go to bed working...this is why many people see me online late at night..I am not juss hanging out, I am actually working. If I have an important meeting, then I will find someone to watch the kids. It's very hard...but it has worked for over 6 years.

I have no doubt you are quite capable of handling both.

My hats off to you, sweetie.

This particular case seem to be your choice to stay home Spice. By the way the question was put, what would you have done if the guy was requesting you stay home and not work?

As it is right now, I not only work, stay at home with the kids, but I spend many hours every week volunteering. I actually prefer to do the volunteering that I currently do over my work..... but I am left with no choice.
