BarbP is on a distinguished road
Children: I have two kids boy 18, girl 22. Both live at home.
Default Re: Stay at home or working parents?

I stayed at home when the kids were really young. I did babysitting for extra money to make up the difference. I worked for awhile when the kids got a bit older, then my daughter hit preteens and got really wild! Had to quit and stay at home again to try to gain some control over her. I am now divorced and am a working mom (back to the same job I quit before). My kids are older now 22, 18 but still live at home with me. I was one of the lucky ones that had a job that understood that My kids came first and they hired me back when I was ready which was 3 1/2 years later. I'm in the process to transitioning back home again for good. Quitting the company and working online from home. I'm looking forward to babysitting my future grandchildren as my daughter is a school teacher. I don't want them with strangers. I want them with mom mom! lol
