My son is turning one this month. My ability to work remotely for clients on a flexible schedule was absolutely crucial to our household's overall happiness and functionality. Truly, I am blessed.
I wish everyone could be able to do the same. Our children and families would be much better off for it.
I realize that it's impossible for everyone to have it, but we should at least aim for that. It would do so much for our society at-large.
- dabbledash 7y agoPersonally, I find working from home with young children almost impossible. They are a huge distraction.
- refurb 7y agoYup! Even with a full time caretaker, I can’t get much done at home.
- scruple 7y agoI go into my office and shut the door. I put my headphones on and put on some music. I work the morning. I prepare lunch for anyone who wants it, help with the kids (we recently had twins), and then head back down for the afternoon. I've set boundaries with the grandparents and my wife has also worked full-time remote in her life so she already gets it. We'll see if the boundaries stick with the kids when they're older, though they may be in daycare before it becomes a problem. I feel like the GP; truly, I feel blessed.
