[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m so sick of people saying this can all be fixed with a schedule. I can’t do a schedule because I’m working!!! Today I have calls/zooms from 12 noon to 3 pm and then another at 4:30. Tomorrow they start at 9:30 am and go to 11:30 am then back again at 2:30 pm. I am supposed to have my calendar available to my clients. There is no routine because I’m trying to fit my kids around my and my DH’s (crazier) work schedule.[/quote]

Yup, I'm here with you. Single parent with a 7 year old. Several days a week I have hours of back-to-back zoom calls. I try to take the minute or two between calls to check on my daughter and get her a snack, but then I have to leave her alone again in another room to go back on another client call. She's been great so far about just watching TV or playing with toys in her room. But she gets incredibly lonely so when I get off a call, I try to play with her a bit. But then that just means I get further and further behind with my other client work.

All of this complaining aside, I just want to acknowledge how grateful I am to have a job right now and the ability to work from home. I know so many people don't and I am really blessed.[/quote]
