I'd have to agree with Robin there. I gave up paid employment 13 years ago to stay at home with the kids because my job didn't pay enough to make it viable for me to go back to work (plus ca change). The work I do looking after my family plus the freelance work I manage to fit in around that means I rarely sit down before 9pm at night - and my kids see that. If anything, they witness hard work in their own home every day, and might consider going out to work an easier option!
