This is a great point and something I struggled with at times. There was a year I worked for a company that left me so little time I almost never saw my kids. Even though I worked from home, the load was so heavy I would be in the office day and night. We hired a nanny and housekeeper. Even though the nanny was wonderful, she wasn't me and I saw that strain in my daughter.

I'm happy now that things are lighter with the job I'm in. Still work from home, no nanny, and lot's of flexibility so I can be the one who is there for my kids.

Thank you for addressing this really important issue!
