The bad days are really bad, but the benefits outweight them by a mile! It has allowed us to have one parent home all the time (thus eliminating our former arguments about who should have to take the sick kid day off!), to homeschool our children, to eat way better, and to be available to help out the occasional friend when they arrive at their children's school only to discover that it has been declared a "snow day"!

I never wanted to have kids, so I don't really feel that way about them. It makes me feel so good when I read that you do feel that way. You are of course a person meant to be a parent. But even more special that you also share that with other kids, because it sounds like you are a person making a genuinely positive impact on their lives.

I can see that the planning must be right in terms of EI benefits but another benefit would be the ability to deduct expenses in the home for tax purposes - even toys.

I work from home too , albeit in a different capacity, but many of your points apply. Just wondering Tim, for a future post could you address EI benefits for self-employed (to start in January 2010 I believe)? Thanks, and happy holidays! Thanks for the post.
