AS a freelance writer years ago, Karen Stabiner would sit down at her desk the moment her daughter left for elementary school, and she would stay there (but for a bathroom break or a sandwich) until the girl came home after 3 p.m. When Sarah headed off to N.Y.U. last fall and Ms. Stabiner stayed home in Los Angeles, she anticipated rediscovering her own rhythms -- taking time for lunches with friends, perhaps, or writing into the early evening. Instead she found that the pattern that began as an adaptation to her life as a mom was hard to break. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]
