What Do Freelance Writers Do On Take Your Kids To Work Day?

Some thirty years ago, some noticed that girls weren’t getting the same opportunity in the work place that boys were. It was recognized that part of the problem was simple role-modeling. “Take Your Daughter To Work Day” was established to help mitigate that. Sometime later, it was recognized that boys would benefit from the same thing, so the day became gender neutral.

Of course, I was working at home most of the time during those days, so my kids saw me working whenever they were home. The results were about what you’d expect. One kid has probably over-worked so as not to be as broke as I was then; two others have kept at jobs they don’t really like in order to support their families with more certainty. But, I think, all three would admit they benefited from my being home much of the time.

So how do you take your kids to work? Or do you? Tell us about it.
