I’m just befuddled by threads like this

Why would you think that a provider is somehow radically different than any other human being?   There are wives and moms, and husbands and dads, (and many other “labels” that I didn’t list) in incredibly diverse and numerous  “occupations” that are far more “challenging” with respective to relationships or child rearing than being a provider (my apologies if that term offends … I mean no offense).

It is not a lifestyle, it is a job. You are over thinking it.

I mean, the majority of providers also have kids, but I have yet to see any posts asking how woman in this profession juggle being a mom and a provider.

So, how do the "moms" in this profession juggle being a mom and a provider?   :)

Seriously, I agree with you.  I just really liked your direct response to the original question.  :)

from providers I know well who are moms, it’s not any different from how other moms juggle being moms with having careers. There’s a few differences, of course, such as these moms will probably not be taking their kids to “take your child to work day”.  But otherwise, I’ve observed provider moms doing the same sort of juggling as other moms I know. And as with moms who aren’t providers, situations occur when being a mom conflicts with work, and being a mom must take precedence. That’s caused some last-minute postponements or cancellations over the years. As a dad, I empathize with provider moms when those conflicts arise.

Not. A SWer acquaintance refers to her gig as a lifestyle

It's tricky to be married & Provide Services to Hobbyists as we "The Providers" do.  Some of us "The Providers" may have husband who understand that at times when we need to make money and we make it all about business then it shouldn't matter. Other guy find it offensive.

To quote Ms Haru Choi of Canada:

Q:  How are you so awesome?
A:  It's genetics

In closing, I'll leave you with "Phenomenon" by "Unknown Brain & Hoober"   :)
