You're lucky the reverse roles is working so well...it's not all guys that can do a woman's job - they're not always up to such a grand task!<BR/>And unfortunately jobs caring for children, no matter how much we acknowledge their importance, are never well paid.

I work at a private daycare that also does before and after elementary care and summer care. (And I get paid remarkably crappy! LOL)<BR/><BR/>When Dustin was still a foster child, we knew he would need constant one on one care, so my husband chose to be a stay-at-home daddy. It has worked out wonderfully. I don't know how two parents can work and take care of a child like Dustin. <BR/><BR/>And Janine . . . never too nosey around me! I'll share just about anything!Sherihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16598822471867683429noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16655703.post-50669147681849948682008-07-08T23:19:00.000-07:002008-07-08T23:19:00.000-07:00More a query than a comment.

I was a primary school teacher (fostering keeps me too busy now) employed by the State to work in a public school. The five to six weeks of Summer holidays was ours, paid, to do what we liked. In your State do you have to work in a holiday program during your school's summer break, or is that something you do voluntarily? Hope I'm not being too nosy, ignore me if you like ...just wondering how it all works.Janinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11947647228190199276noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16655703.post-44410615654542686322008-07-08T13:36:00.000-07:002008-07-08T13:36:00.000-07:00Good work!
