@Lindsay05: I did for 12 months. In the beginning when he slept a lot, it was easy! By the time he was 15 months, I felt guilty for winding while he was awake. He just wanted to be attached to me. I basically got up a few hours before he woke up and worked and worked during his naps. It's doable, but can be trying at times. And there was definitely a guilt factor. I would wonder if I was doing him wrong by trying to be home with him, or if he would have been better off in daycare.

i just transitioned two months ago to FT WAHM with my photography business. it's tough, but i've been making it work. as i go into busy season, i'm really trying to buckle down and make sure i have set hours for work. it makes it easier for me to turn it off when it's not in those hours... and i'm hoping it makes it easier for me to turn it on during those hours!

I WAH and LO goes to daycare half days. I would not be able to work much, other than nap time, if he were home all the time. I'm a translator so I need to be able to concentrate. Can you hire help for a few hours a day or is part time daycare an option?

Oh boy, I wish I knew the answer to this. I normally have childcare, but she had to leave today unexpectedly, and I honestly don't know how you mamas with no help do it. Trying to juggle work and baby was too much for me - luckily, my DH walked in early from work and I basically gave him the baby immediately to get back to work.
