			Shake. What advice would you give
to those working parents that
		
00:00:03 --> 00:00:06
			don't have as much time and energy
to spend on children or stay at
		
00:00:06 --> 00:00:10
			home parents, I would say that
really honestly. Look at your
		
00:00:10 --> 00:00:15
			income, look at your lifestyle and
your needs readjusted so that you
		
00:00:15 --> 00:00:18
			don't both have to work crazy
hours like you do. Let the mothers
		
00:00:18 --> 00:00:21
			stay at home and look after the
children they need you as the
		
00:00:21 --> 00:00:23
			that's your biggest
responsibility. If that means
		
00:00:23 --> 00:00:29
			downsizing, if that means having
less expensive items, you know,
		
00:00:30 --> 00:00:34
			using secondhand sofas, not having
the latest TV, let that be it
		
00:00:34 --> 00:00:37
			because it's bigger
responsibility. That's generally
		
00:00:37 --> 00:00:41
			what it is. That's generally what
the issue is. Manage your finances
		
00:00:41 --> 00:00:46
			and do that. Start with a part
time job. Come down from a full
		
00:00:46 --> 00:00:47
			time to a part time
