Daily Life As a Work at Home Mom
I felt eager to start the new week after a restful weekend. It was a tiring one the week before when my little boy was ill and I am just so glad he’s recovering so well now. I can’t help but count my blessings for being a work at home mom especially when my child needed some extra care on those under the weather days.
For me, no matter how busy I am in my home office, there’s nothing like having dinner together as a family. Although it can be tough balancing work life and family life but I always make it a point to cook a meal for the family so that we can end the day well. DH and me avoid discussing work at the dinner table even though we work from home. We often engage a conversation with little junior and find out how’s school has been for that day.
Sometimes I feel guilty about neglecting my child when he came running into our home office after school. It is hard to keep him out and he’s always expecting one of us to play with him. He would help himself with many gadgets in our workplace, from our digital camera to our SD card, it’s challenging to focus on my work when he’s around. So the best time to work productively would be the time he’s in school. After that, it would be divided attention.
But seriously, ask me to trade a full time job with my current home office? The answer will be a ‘no-no’. I am enjoying my role as a work at home mom and wouldn’t mind the long working hours when little junior goes to bed. As such, the office remains open throughout the day and night until DH and myself calls it a day. So that’s life for us and it looks like this will continue for us in the many years to come.
