This sounds interesting? What do you do day to day x
Yea, but not at the start. My days are filled with managing my online business, spending quality time with my child, and navigating the challenges of parenthood. When I'm not working, you can find me playing with my toddler, exploring playgrounds, or indulging in DIY projects.
I can see you’re in the U.K., no employer will allow you to wfh with a child/baby to look after too. Some employers may even require proof that your child is in paid childcare elsewhere. I work for a small private firm and wfh most days. When my daughter was around 2, with my boss’s permission I did try and wfh whilst looking after her - she was the most chill child ever, no tantrums, easygoing, happy etc and I STILL struggled as she always wanted to see what I was doing, always wanted me to play, sit on my lap etc. I felt like I was half assing being a parent and also an employee. It takes away your concentration so much. Soon as I put her in nursery and was able to focus with no distractions, it was a game changer.
That sounds amazing @Viviane Johnson you have the freedom to do what you want! @Neena Completly in the same boat! My little one is exactly like yours! She’s such a good child & in really lucky that way. I feel like we will both thrive if I start working and she goes into nursery but my heart is saying there’s no rush. So hard as the mum guilt eats up at you.
I wfh part time (20hours). It’s really tough because my 22mo wants me to engage with her at all times. So i end up working when she’s napping , and most often when she goes to bed. Sleep is non existent lol
That is really difficult @Anne 😓😓 we have to do what we can to survive! Hope you get a good nights rest soon!
@Farrah absolutely! I try to remember that this is a season in life… she’ll be in kindergarten before i know it and I’ll miss these day/6
I opened up an e-commerce website since it can be run remotely right from my home and it was lucrative for me not at first tho. You can try it out if you’re interested in it
