We're happy to present this article from one of our favorite sites, Yahoo! Shine:

I work full time outside of the home. (Staying home is a career choice, not a moral imperative; please don't criticize my choice to bring home the bacon, and I won't criticize your choice to fry it up in pan, so to speak.) It works well for our family, except during the rare times when my husband is out of town and my kids are also out of school. That happened a few weeks ago, at a point when I couldn't get time off from work. The solution: request permission to work part of the week from home. With my kids there. On deadline.
