I’m a newly single parent, and I’ve been considering my options in regards to remote work. Are you employed full time by a single company or do you find freelance work? The challenge and time investment of finding new clients constantly has me leaning away from freelancing. I haven’t yet been able to find a full time position that’s flexible enough (results based) though.

I have a "regular" (9-5) remote job and a wife who works full time. Working from home has been very helpful for childcare activities.

I pick up my kids at 2-3 pm and then get a babysitter for the afternoons while I am still working until 5ish. This ends up being, basically, just a late lunch.

If things go south with my babysitter the kids can play or watch tv while I finish up the day and it's not a big deal to occasionally do.

I would try to get a stable/full-time job at a family friendly company, but that's just me all the time. Health care is expensive.

A little of both. I do the minimum number of full time hours to get insurance benefits, and then I have a part time job at another tech company. Both of those things are very rare. It took me some time to work things out between the two entities.

I did have some time to work on pet projects and freelance-style (usually free) projects prior to the kids starting sports.
