I tried to do freelance development from home after our first child was born and my wife went back to work after her 3 months off. Even with a non-mobile baby there was no way to be productive. Young children need attention. You can't just put them down on a blanket and expect them to be happy. And once they start walking, forgettaboutit.
I would think that any employee saying that they can give a full workday working from home and watching young children at the time is not being truthful.
Sure, when they're older and don't need to be watched constantly, but if I turn my back for more than a minute I'll find our 1 year old playing with an electrical outlet or trying to eat something he shouldn't.
I'm a progressive but I don't know if I'm convinced that the populate is moving to the left. I hope so but....
Romney's loss may just be that he just wasn't a candidate that excited the right-wing enough for them to really get out and vote. Romney wasn't conservative enough for them and he made a number of bone-headed blunders along the campaign trail.
My wife and I started a similar site awhile back, originally just for our family. After realizing there were so many other competing sites out there we put it on the backburner. Never even really finalized a name/URL.
