5 Work at Home Parent Scenarios You Can Probably Relate to

Many parents who want to be more hands on with their children while managing their respective careers have decided to ditch their office jobs to start working from home.

This trend is rising worldwide as more companies recognize this specific need. There are several reasons why stay at home moms, for example, grab work opportunities that are readily available online, but ultimately, it all boils down to spending more quality time with family.

There are risks to working from home, of course, as parents need to be very careful before accepting orders from clients. There are fake job postings that will do more harm than good, and clients who will pay very little. First, know the basics before making the big decision and don't forget to check out the in-demand online jobs available these days that will work well with day to day schedules.

Now, for those who are already working from home, there are real scenarios happening within the household that can drain energy and patience especially when children constantly seek mom and dad's undivided attention.

Here's one.

Looks familiar, yes?

The video above courtesy of the Story of This Life YouTube channel perfectly captures what a work from home mom experiences while trying to get work done. While it looks cute and all, the struggle is real.

Yep, been there.

Curious little ones may be making chores a bit more difficult to finish. The trick is to strictly follow a schedule at home. Fold clothes, do the laundry or wash the dishes while the little kids are taking a nap. Getting used to the routine takes time, but the results are worth the effort.

Another video, this time, from dad Nunzio Raso via his YouTube channel, is definitely familiar. This probably happens to every household and parents experience the same thing, whether they are working from home or in the office. Don't forget to breathe in and breathe out, moms and dad!

Sleep? What sleep? While it may be hard to get a full eight hours of sleep, just remember that things will get better in time.

Things do not always go as planned, as seen in the video above. It's not always fun and games, especially when you have work and when you have clients to think about. Multi-tasking can help get things done, but again, it is important to follow a schedule that every member of the family should follow. That way, your work and your children will both have your undivided attention.
