Having worked from home the last 3 years or so, I’m trying to do it again. (My most recent job ended.) But holy heck, it’s hard. I so get this. And my work was merely work. There was no name to make for myself, no ambition. Only a paycheck. I imagine your pull is even harder than mine.

It’s hard to make them understand. They just don’t.

I am contemplating finding a job that allows me to work from home. I miss seeing my bean. Plus I am with babies all day, I might as well like the baby I am with.

Big sigh. I feel the pain.

Not sure if this helps at all, but my kids are a bit older and I think I have a little perspective to share (beyond that this is beautifully written and belongs in an essay collection, but I don’t want to fuel that ambition any further, well, I sort of do… but I digress).

Smart moms can have ambition and be wonderful mothers. I’m glad that my boys know that I work outside the home not just to provide for them, but because it is fulfilling to me. I love it when they tell their friends that mommy and daddy are both authors! (G recently told a pal that he would try to convince me to write about him on my blog.)

Also, I interviewed a work/life balance expert who talked about thinking of life in seasons … some are focused on career, some on kids, some on other pursuits. It’s OK to be wrapped up in your writing, mrschicken. This is your season. -H

Same here…without the editors and legal documents.

And, when the heck did she get so “grown up” looking? I clicked over here, saw her pic and was like, “who is that big girl?”

I know how difficult it can be to work from home. You’re a good mom.

I miss my kids when they’re at school too. Why do they have to grow up so fast?
