I am 42 years old with an active one year old son. I have been working for 20 years now and don't know any other way of life. I have had the pleasure of staying home these past few days and yesterday witnessed interactions that brought home the importance of being available to the kids.
It was merienda time and Jenny, my sister-in-law who works from home, had merienda for the kids. There was boiled saba mixed with condensed milk that needed crushed ice. She brought out her ice crusher and the kids had the time of their lives cranking it up and making crushed ice for their merienda. The laughter and the light in their eyes was something to see.
In my years with Working Mom Magazine, all the experts say that it is times like these that the children treasure. How can one create times like this if one is absent from home?
