Moms who went freelance.. do you feel liberated to leave at 5-530 and work a few days a week only (basically set your own rules) or does it depend on the project?

I don’t work freelance, but my husband (creative director) does and now that we have a kid this career choice of his makes life SO much easier. He’s home right at 5:30-6 (unless he decides to go for beers with his buddies), we all get to eat dinner together, he NEVER has to work in the evenings, he can leave as needed for apts or emergencies, and most importantly - he never ever gets roped into the stress and drama of office politics like he used to when he was a full-time GCD.
I wish I could do freelance too! But I guess one of us needs job security and health benefits 😉😉.

Would love to know as well and how hard has it been to find freelance work?

Does part time (a few days a week) really exist? That is my dream!

Question about inclusion…. I’ve been teaching inclusion for 5 years so I’m still a newb, but a first year coworker of mine said she got points off on her observation because her kids were scattered in the classroom and she was having to move from kid to kid to assist. While I see the point of putting them together for convenience, I don’t agree with this at all! To me this is like singling them out by putting them all together instead of INCLUDED amongst peers. What do y’all think?
