I do this 3 times a week and leave work early to drive back, pick up child from nursery and get home panicking because I've forgotten in the chaos of my morning to get a frozen "home made fish pie/bolognese/risotto" out of the freezer. I'm then trying to make sure he doesn't get his snot/grubby paws all over my work clothes whilst trying to juggle his supper, changing out of clothes, loading washing machine and then the bath and bed routine before husband arrives home.<br /><br />In my "fantasy" world, I have the same job in my home town, my parents don't live a 4hr plane journey away, the in-laws don't live a 4hr drive away and husband doesn't disappear off sailing for 10 days at a time leaving me to manage single working parenting<br /><br />I must say that I seem to manage my team at work slightly more efficiently than I seem to manage my home which sometimes feels like it's spiralling out of my control.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-671265167945700904.post-34248094698679943732010-01-04T14:56:35.279+13:002010-01-04T14:56:35.279+13:00I agree with you about the bit "it is good to...I agree with you about the bit "it is good to be your own boss". I only realised that when I went to work part-time after having been with my 3 children at home for best part of a decade. I was working for a complete nincompoop, whose behaviour warranted the naughty chair on many occasions - but of course I couldn't put him on one. I frequently saw better, more efficient ways of doing things, and dealing with colleagues, but if I ever suggested anything, it was never very well received. The only thing that can be said about the experience is that it made me value being MD of my own operation at home much more.Iota https://www.blogger.com/profile/08507184283437057648noreply@blogger.com
