Working Moms: Did You Miss Milestones?
| Tue, 01-31-2012 - 11:41am |
Do you worry about missing your children’s important milestones because of work? Were there any that you missed?
If so, how did you deal with it?

I thought this was a really great question.
The things I think I missed out on was sometimes working too many hours, or not having enough time off to spend with them...kwim?
I worked a lot of week-ends, sometimes late-nights or early mornings.
Now I am disabled and my youngest ds he lives with me, but I am also very close with my oldest dd who lives on her own.
My ex-husband was basically an absentee father.
I have been a single Mom for more than twenty years.
I think being a parent Mom or Dad or step-parent is hard whether you are single, married, widowed, working outside the home or in the home.
