Recently, I had some mums ask me where they can find remote jobs because they thought it would make their lives easier.
I’ve been working from home for the past two years and although it makes some things easier, there’s a lot more to it than staying in your pyjamas all day.
So, when my friends ask me what it's like working from home with kids, this is what I tell them.
While you're here, watch the things mums never say. Post continues after video.
Drop-offs and pickups are more convenient but…
The mornings are less rushed because I don’t need to put make-up on, pick an outfit, scarf down breakfast, pack a lunch, fill my coffee thermos and leave with enough time to avoid traffic on my commute to the office.
Now when I wake up, all I do is brush my teeth and wash my face. Then I take my time to get the kids ready. It’s less chaotic because I can walk my kids to school and know I can start work immediately when I get home.
Once I’m home, all I need to do is turn on my laptop and I can begin typing. Sometimes, the article I’m writing or the email I’m drafting is already on the screen and I can continue where I left off.
