Comment on Working from home no substitute for childcare by Michele

I would be curious to see what your results are if you are watching multiple children under the age of 5. While it is entirely possible (and does exist) to work from home and have your children at home I still strongly believe that you are not 100 percent succcesful in either realm when trying to combine them. If you believe your are successful at it, then good! But from my perspective I cannot entertain and engage a child while also trying to produce work-related results.

Well I would argue that since I currently do what you claim in your post does not exist. I work for a university while taking care of my child. It’s not perfect but have been able to be an attentive mom and still a great employee. I telecommute since I am a server admin and watch my son. Yes sometimes you have to press mute while on conference calls or take a little longer to respond to emails but you make it work. I understand letting people know it’s not easy but acting like it does not exist or you aren’t the best parent is wrong for the moms that do it successfully.

Neda. Hello! It’s so nice to have other telecommuters in my midst. Sometimes I feel completely alone. Please drop a line about your work anytime. Would love to hear about it.

P.S. I broke down and bought a used blackberry (for now…)

Hi, Michele!

Stumbled across your website and was thrilled to see your face when I linked over to your home blog! Almost thirteen years?!?!?!?

I’ve been a full-time telecommuter as well for the past five years and your sentiments in this post echo my thoughts exactly when explaining to other that working from home isn’t as easy as it sounds. Some days I simply crave a little human contact, especially those weeks when my husband is out of town for work.

Thanks for sharing so much of yourself with your fellow telecommuters…and it’s wonderful to be able to catch up with you a bit!

Take care,
Neda

p.s. – *love* my Palm Pre…hold out if you can. ;^)
