Building a home team is both a strategy and a mentality

Building a home team is both a strategy and a mentality. Often there isn't a one time solution to work and family issues. Circumstances change, sometimes from week to week. Mom's who handle these changes well have a "Home Team" so to speak of individuals who support them and are there to help as needed. So, maybe your mother-in-law is part of your home team because she comes over every Friday and takes the kids out for ice cream. Maybe you have a child care center that is the primary home team from 7:00 in the morning to 5:00 at night, and within that center there's a changing group of players there as well. Maybe there's a neighbor who can help you in a pinch if your kid needs to be picked up at school-there's another member of the home team.
