That's lovely to hear Nalini,,,I too have a journalist frind , a male, who is working from home because his soft ware engineer wife couldnt stay away from jobs w/o losing out on core competencies...their little girl had Mom with her for the first crucial year, and then Dad took over...I am so happy to hear the positive vibes in your reply...but of course it takes a man without the typical Indian mind set to accept this...you can see that from the other responses...
