What does working from home look like to parents?

Ahhh… just another day wearing a nice button-up shirt with comfy sweatpants and fuzzy socks. You make your favorite coffee drink with your favorite mug and settle in at your desk. It’s just “another day at the office”.

If you work from home, then you know exactly what we’re talking about. What we didn’t mention was running your kids to and from daycare and dealing with the runny noses and coughs they bring home every day.

Or, worse yet… having them at home, thinking you can do it all. They’re constantly interrupting you, and you’re typing with one hand and bouncing a baby on your knee with the other. You’re attempting to successfully work and be a parent all at the same time, but you feel like you’re failing miserably!

Does this sound like you??

It doesn’t have to be like this. If you want to avoid daycare and also be able to focus on your work at home, you can. You CAN have your cake and eat it too. ??
