Where to stash the kid?
I am working on getting everything in order so I will be able to work from my home office a few days a week after the kid arrives. Thankfully I have no billable requirement (other than to rake in enough for the mortgage) since I am a free agent. I am figuring working maybe 3/4 of each day spent at home.
I am also twiddling with the idea of hauling the kid with me to the office for a day or so each week as well (only one other atty here and I am far from other people) at least while it is very small. This would leave 2-3 days left for daycare or grandma.
We have a very nice daycare within walking distance of the house which comes highly recommended - I just don't like the idea for an infant due to them getting sick all the time. A nanny would be great, but not realistic for us with only one kid - maybe after #2.
Is this reasonable considering I set my own hours and client appts, am in court no more than 2x/week, often less, and always jam all client meetings into court days (I try to minimize the dress-up days - lazy, huh?). Plus I do a lot of work on nights/weekends anyway - when the Mr. would be there to watch his kid. Essentially, I would probably be working only 3/4 time and don't expect more. Oh, and I'd like to try to avoid formula feeding, so.....
My secretary has suggested a papoose.
Comments?
