She’s right. We are terribly broke and my husband and I have to take on freelance work after our day jobs just to make ends meet, but we work from home at our extra jobs. We sit at our respective computers, a cup of tea each on a kiddie chair or some ice cream after dinner. We take turns going upstairs to deal with our kid’s efforts to evade bedtime. Staying up past midnight, only to wake up at 6 am for another job is waaay better than sitting in traffic for 4 hours a day. Only a huge salary that would allow us to have a live-in nanny and housekeeper AND if one of us is not commuting would shift the sanity scales in favour of commuting.
