[quote=sunny88]I found it very interesting that she mentioned on her website how she was still taking care of her customers while giving birth to her child. Sounds to me that having a child is less important than her career. I wonder how good a Mom she is…[/quote]
Hey there.
None of that.
Those of us who study the dumb science still have people who rely upon us.
The week my kid was born (as I blogged here) I was fired by 5 different clients.
Why?
Because they wanted me to spend more time with my son.
They felt that they were helping me somehow.
The reality is that I don’t get sick leave or time off.
If I take a day off, I probably won’t lose a day’s pay but I might lose a month’s pay.
Having kids is a great motivator and working is a way to help feed those kids.
When you are self-employed the concept of your career is not exactly the same.
I don’t fault her for working while having a kid.
Those clients who tried to help me actually were part of the reason it was one of my slowest years.
