Jon Acuff talks about that in Quitter and it makes a lot of sense. I've seen Devon adjust already in just four weeks so I'm hopeful! Thanks so much for sharing your insight and experience.<br /><br />Melissa: Your Twitter reply was perfect, I can't believe I forgot to include it in my post! Did you delete your Tweet? Hope you don't mind, but I want to include it here: <i>#1 thing I learned is have a definite quit time. Don't let the line bleed over or you will be working all the time.</i> Very interesting thought on the mom vs. dad concept. I wonder how much of that has to do with expectations that change over time. If Troy was always at home and you were always gone, your son would probably be just as confused if you came home to work, right? Maybe not... the mother vs. father connection is definitely unique.

At least if Mom has previously been a stay-at-home-mom. My son really takes it in stride (he's super independent anyway) and just does his own thing while I'm working in the afternoons. However, I think if my husband were to start working from home after previously going away to his job, our son would really struggle with it. What do you mean, Daddy's home and it's not play time?!<br /><br />I'm sure you'll find great ways to make it work. So happy for your family!!Missy Staufferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14878938620918829908noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8988392.post-14372288401354044672011-10-03T05:01:18.487-06:002011-10-03T05:01:18.487-06:00Luke, I've been working w office in house for ...Luke, I've been working w office in house for 11yrs now and it's totally worth it. The kids learn to adapt, and you don't have to worry about missing awesome milestones and the little things. <br /><br />I've started getting up pretty early instead of working late so that I can go to bed w wife. She doesn't care when I get up. :)William donnellhttp://sodiumhalogen.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8988392.post-65599861626678237842011-10-02T18:38:32.396-06:002011-10-02T18:38:32.396-06:00Thanks!
