in how to work from home with small kids on brip blap
You have two people at home though, right? Two adults I mean :)

I have discovered that working from home is impossible :) But that is when it is just me at home and two kids. I used to try and do it, but I've given that up entirely. Heh. I only work from home when my spouse is home with the kids.

Steve @ bripblap @paidtwice: True, we're talking two people at home right now. I honestly don't think one person at home, alone with two kids, can work except in small snatches. And small snatches are not conducive to REAL work - especially writing.

But if you fall prey to the doubleteam-parenting even two parents at home isn't enough. Right after I wrote this we had a doubleteaming day today and I accomplished almost nothing work-wise (although my son and I had a great day wandering from chilly park to park).

in wealthstreaming, or snowflaking for income on brip blap
Oh how I love when those not in debt realize that snowflaking can apply to them too. Yay! :)

I likey the wealthstreaming. I wrote about snowflaking my income a few days ago on the revolurion site, but I didn't have a catchy name for it or be so thorough. Great post! I have much random income.... no big faucet though :)

Game 1: Snowflaking
Game 2: Dollar

Good luck! But I still want to win. :)

The nice thing about making it to the final four is both our charities will receive at least $100.

in I will not pay for my children’s college education, part 2 on brip blap
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhrgh.

Someday I will write a rebuttal of my own to this whole idea. :)

Thanks for being a great kid! Start adulthood with tens of thousands in debt, I did it, it builds character, having that hang over you the next 15-20 years. ;)

Financial aid programs look at the income of the parents not the child when deciding on aid. The fact you make a lot handicaps your child in the world of financial aid. Sure, I got tons of need-based academic scholarships. I can send my kids to Stanford now for free if they got in. But you can't ;)

Mine would say:

But someday it will say:

Thanks for writing the guest post! :)

I slightly slowed down the frenetic posting schedule to give the guest posts some extra time in the limelight. I let go of the posting OCD a little bit just for you. ;)

in the myth of the parent that NEEDS to work on brip blap
As a woman with a PhD who chooses to stay home - well, I'll just say our family's choice is not looked upon favorably by the majority of people who know of it, either irl or online :)
