... just a quick question of how many kids you have while working for your own business.. if I may ask ;-)

I'll start: 2 kids, (dreaming of 3 but not sure how my business will cope)

me, two aged 4 and 2.

I have three boys.

There will be no more!

2

3 - aged 10, 6 and 5

4

I have two children. Both at school although I am v good at doing work into the small hours as well where necessary.

I went self employed when first child was born
and carried on when DS was born
they are now 11 and 13

Just one (atm)- 20 months.

2, ages 3.5 and 22 months, but like moonwalk thinking 3 is the magic number for me, but maybe not for my business!

2. Both school age but during the summer hols I usually get up very early and try to get as much done as possible whilst they are still in bed. Then I'll spend some time with them in return for a couple of hours in the afternoon. I'll also work evenings and weekends if necessary whilst dh has them.

I couldn't do this from home if both were pre-school. It would be impossible.

2

just one , school age, although she was just 3 when I was going through the whole product development/patent/business start up process, and to be quite honest looking back I'm really not sure how I got everything done

2, why do you ask?

3 kids. 6, 4, and 1.5. (two at school now thank god)

2 no room for any more.

4, am probably unemployable with my attitude "oh look a child needs me I am leaving the office now" hence I shall have to work for myself from onwards.

1 (15 wks).... Working out ok at the moment, though would be nice to have more hours in day.

two boys - nearly 3 and 6. Its hard work and the day seems so short. Luckily the youngest goes to nursery two full days which frees up some time. Not much gets done on the other days.

I have hardly any help with house chores, childcare, etc

two girls, two boys - 12, 10, 4 and 9m respectively. Why do you ask?

4 - much easier now they're at school. 13,11 7 & 7

Two boys - 9 and 7 being doing this since the youngest was 18mths - school holidays mean lots of early starts and late nights for me.

2 DSs. 4 and 21 months.

Girl, now 10 and boy, 8, with Aspergers. Much easier now apart from the dreaded long school holidays which costs a bomb in childcare. My daughter loves to help with delivering catalogues and doing stalls....hopefully she'll join me as soon as she's old enough
