I don&#8217;t know if this expectation arises when you&#8217;re male.  I would imagine any time working at home, especially when there are children involved, would require some time management.<br \/>\n<br \/>\nAnyhoo, I&#8217;ve been at this full-time work-at-home business for two years now.  I&#8217;m just now realizing that we, as a family, need a schedule.  My schedule.  And it needs to be pretty immovable.<br \/>\n<br \/>\nI have a schedule typed and posted.  But in our reality of holidays, the jump start of college football season (part of hubs job) and the shortened first weeks of school, we haven&#8217;t implemented it yet.  Monday will be the start of the litmus test of whether this will work.  I hope it does&#8230; it gives us all a bit of routine that we&#8217;ve been craving.<br \/>\n<br \/>\nSo, after this summer of &#8220;why don&#8217;t we do this today?&#8221;, my moment is the absolute desire of routine.  I think I can declare that desire a family moment this week.
