Not everyone can afford (due to fianancial, social or mental reasons) to stay at home with the kids. I, for one, am one of those. And as much as I actually enjoy working, I still cannot completely shake off the feeling that I need to have more time with my son. I am still looking for that work-life balance that I have been seeking for 3 years now.

An option, for someone like me, is to become a Work-at-home mom. But, am I really ready to quit my job and become a freelancer? Am I suited for this? Do I have what it takes?

Sitepoint's Fire your Boss! The Successful Home Freelancer's Guide is a great start to assess one's self (if you are in a crossroads like me). It asks the right questions (which we should be asking ourselves) and outlines what should be considered before taking that big step.

I should have my answer within this year. What about YOU? Would you consider firing your boss?
