That's terrific Mrs Nose. It takes a real commitment to do what you're doing in this day and age. I know it can't be easy for you financially but the rewards of being with your children when they are young far outweigh any material things you have to sacrifice. They are only children once . . . the business world will still be there once they are grown up. I stayed home with my son for the first 3 years of his life and I think it made a big difference. I worked outside the home for the next 5 years of his life and I had one of those terrible pressure cooker jobs where I lived and breathed my work 7 days a week 24 hours a day. I now really wish I had not done that but I needed to get the experience in the electronics industry before I could start my own business. I can honestly say that if I had spent those 5 years at home with my son he would have less psychological problems than he does. My son is homeschooled now (for medical reasons) and we are together almost 24 hours a day as my new business doesn't require me to travel much anymore. We are slowly rebuilding our relationship and getting closer again but it really does make a difference whether you stay home with your kids or not. It doesn't have to be the woman that stays home it can be the man and it would be just as beneficial. Also my husband has arranged to be working from home for most of the week so it really does make a difference . . . plus he is a good cook and my cooking sucks. MrsNose I applaud you more than I would any high ranking executive woman because you are following your heart and doing what you know is right for your kids. Now if some feminist wants to tell me my thinking is wrong I say screw you . . . it's my kid! Lola:)
