I had to write about the 10 hardest things about being a work at home parent, because I work from home part time.
I find it hilarious (& ironic) that you are “always working and never working” as my mom used to put it when she worked from home.
I loved this quote from Jennifer Garner…
Here are the 10 hardest things that I find about being a work at home mom…
9). We have 2-4 assistants at all times (and they all under the age of 8 in our house)
(This image is from my Going to bed post… but you can see what I mean where I get into bed & start thinking…)
1). For number one… Let me give you the Number one reason that it is the BEST part of working from home: You get to be with your kids all day long!
(Here I am with our 6 year old, Beau… )

I definitely understand what working at home with a kid is like! So much joy, fun, chaos, mixed feelings, and the desire to do it all. But it is hard. I have figured I need to have a schedule for working at home. For instance, working from 8 am till 10 am, and then having a break to do something with the kid. And again, trying to work an hour or two before the playtime again. I guess finding the balance is difficult. My schedule is not only affected by me, but instead of my son’s mood and feelings as well. I have always admired work-at-home moms, great job!
