Well, isn’t that ironic?
I took the day off from career (actually, from kids, too, since they went back to school yesterday) in order to do several things that really needed doing.
One of the main things I was planning to do was to get settled into this blog. You see where that got me yesterday, don’t […]
There was a post recently over on Island Life about whether or not you would be disappointed with paying a lot for your kid’s college and then have them not use that education to lock down a big job.
It is an interesting thing to think about and greatly influences how we as parents must manage […]
Working at home recently has really lowered my average stress level. I get to spend more time with my wife and kids. I have less commute and learned to drink black coffee instead of pop. Wonderful and great.
But, what kind of special stuff do I really get out of this deal on […]
My working from home has created a really nice time alone with my daughter.
I finish work between 2:30 and 3pm every day. Our son does not get home from preschool until about 3:45pm and my wife gets home a few minutes later.
Since I have no commute right now, that gives me about an hour […]
Most full time working parents try to spend more time with their kids on the weekend. What do you do when emergency projects come up? Find ways to include them.
This weekend the toilet broke. It was actually just a little reocurring leak that I got tired of fixing. So, I decided […]
My main office is 22 miles from my house according to Mapquest. That would mean that in a normal week I drive at least 220 miles. I hardly ever have an assignment closer to my house than our main office is.
My car gets approximately 30 miles per gallon which would mean that I […]
A few of my household responsibilities are taking out the trash and anything that involves fixing the computer and the vacuuming. If either of these chores need done during the day, the kids know that they should just wait until I get home and don’t even bother bugging mom about them.
My wife does almost […]
Are you finding time to go to your kids plays at school? Have you been to each of their basketball games this year?
Good. That is a good start but not the only thing good parents need to do.
Despite working full time, you still need to make time for the mundane things. Pick […]
I got a laptop from work a while back. My kids think it is pretty cool and my daughter has even been asking for a toy laptop for Christmas.
This is a great thing for parents to remember. Something like that could be a great way to bond with my kids. We could […]
December is a rough month for working parents. Between colds and school holidays it feels like the kids are never at school. At work, the holidays are always hectic, too, with end of year and holiday activities.
And, of course at most places any sick days not used before the end of the year […]
