The concept of women staying buried in housework and child-bearing diminishes a little each year.
For mothers who don’t want to miss every little milestone of their kids, some are finding that it’s not difficult to find a position that allows for telecommuting.

life over careers are quickly becoming the norm. A study conducted by

86-percent of girls said they wanted to take a break from working when
they become mothers.

a government job with decent benefits in order to start working from
home as a freelance marketing copywriter. She got the idea when several
old colleagues of hers offered her moonlighting work writing brochure
copy.
