| How Kellyanne can balance 4 kids and Trump: 'I don't play golf and I don't have a mistress' |
| 2016-12-25 |
| [CNBC] Trump aide Kellyanne Conway says she may have fewer distractions to contend with than many people in government. Though she was reportedly skeptical of her ability to take on a key role at first, given the fact that she has four children at home, she is now confident she will be able to balance work and family. "I don't play golf, and I don't have a mistress, so I have a lot of time that a lot of these other men don't," Conway told the Fox Business Network on Thursday after President-elect Donald Trump named her White House counselor. "I see people on the weekend spending an awful lot of time on their golf games," she added, "and that's their right, but the kids will be with me; we live in the same house, and they come first." Conway has 12-year-old twins, an 8-year-old and a 7-year-old. Her comments may land awkwardly for her boss, since the president-elect's 10-year-old son, Barron, will not be living in the same house as his father: He and his mother will remain in New York after the inauguration. |

| #3 When Mr. Wife was transferred back to the U.S., the trailing daughters and I took the option of moving a month ahead of him so the girls would be here for the start of school, while he wrapped up his projects in Europe. It matters for a certain kind of child. I switched schools one week into my own first grade year, and spent the entire year trying to figure out the rules the teacher had laid down those first few days. I still don't know what's wanted for a book report at that level. And Mr. Wife belongs entirely to the job for the first six months in a new role, so being a short commute away would be considerably less of a sacrifice. |

| #2 Her comments may land awkwardly for her boss Not her boss, but if the brain dead writer needed someone to point out, it lands squarely on O and Bill these days. |

| #1 Her comments may land awkwardly for her boss CNBC drivel. I'll bet DRT laughed aloud when he read it. The not so veiled message to pols and insiders; cross this woman at your own peril. |
