How can you find an employer who is willing to let you work the hours you want in order to be able to spend time running the family home. An employer who is happy for you to take time off work for events that you just can't miss. An employer who will let you do pretty much what you want throughout the day? Let's face facts it's just not going to happen - unless that employer is you!
