I really liked your "Writers and other work at home Moms" article... as someone who works from home (and is about to be a Mom!) it was interesting to read about your take on the perception that people who work from home don't really have a real job... which is totally wrong, we just get to go to work in our PJs!
It's hard though, I have definitely had moments in life where folks have looked down their noses at me for both working at home and in my family's business... Like I had somehow copped out of the real world (whatever the 'real' world is supposed to be)... If anything, I work 3 times as hard because I'm also working for the welfare of my immediate family and not just for a paycheck!
