Understanding the Pitfalls for Work at Home MomsCopyright © Roderick Eash
http://www.TheEashSyndicate.comCongratulations on being able to make some money working from home! You are
probably the envy of moms everywhere who would love nothing better than to
be in your shoes as a work at home mom. Yet did you know that work at home
moms face a myriad of challenges that very often are not realized until they
are well into the work relationship? Granted, your comfy chair in front of
your computer and your cat curled up on your lap make for probably the best
work environment known to woman, but there are some pitfalls that might turn
this opportunity into a nightmare.
Being your own boss is a concept that you yourself may understand, but it
may be an alien concept to your girlfriend who is in a pinch and needs a
babysitter. Suddenly you find that you are on the speed dial of sitter-less
friends everywhere, who – while admiring your ability to stay home and work
– do not seem to understand that you have a schedule to keep, deadlines to
meet, and tasks to perform. Suddenly you find that you are asked to watch
children so you friends can go to work, thus leaving you unable to do work
yourself. At the same time, you know how hard it is to say “no” when a
friend in need approaches you. While it is easy to advise the stay at home
mom to simply say “no” to those who would take advantage of her, it is much
harder to actually do so in person. To this end, the best piece of advice is
to have a dedicated phone line for your business that you answer during
business hours, while letting your personal calls be picked up by your
answering machine. Alert your kids’ school to the fact that you have a new
work number and you will not have to worry about missing an important call
that might have to do with your children.
Yet it is not just the girlfriend who might not understand the concept of
your actually being working as your own boss. Your husband and other family
members may fall into the same category! You might suddenly have to field
request to pick up the husband’s dry cleaning, take the cat to the vet, call
the bank to sort out a problem with the mortgage check, and a host of other
tasks that will zap your energy and take time away from the business you are
trying to run. Setting a schedule that is discussed beforehand with your
family will quite possibly help them to understand that there are certain
blocks of time during which you are unavailable, and this might mean that
the dry cleaning will have to wait for another day and the cat will have to
wait until the weekend to get her shots.
