Working parents DO have a lot more challenge.
When I was working, it took me awhile to realize - - I left my daughter at the sitter's during the best hours of her day.
Then, I got her home and we got ready for bed - - turns out, the babysitter was more a parent than I was ... I was more like a babysitter! <wave>
