[quote=Anonymous]I work from home on Fridays and the benefits, as far as I'm concerned are: getting to sleep in since I'm saving on commute time, staying in yoga pants & make-up-less all day, eating healthier since I'm home, getting to think through a task without interruption, being able to schedule a Dr's appt without having to think about what others are hearing, and being able to run an errand on my lunch break - like drop something off at the post office, or just do a load of my laundry.

But the issues you describe are common and can disrupt the day for everyone, so here's what I do to try to minimize that. I lock myself up in my home office. I try to limit my trips down to the kitchen to when it sounds like the baby is already done for a nap, and I try to stay out of sight, and keep quiet, so the kids can basically forget that I'm there. If they ask me for things while I'm working, I tell them that so & so is in charge, so it's up to her and then I get out of sight. I don't interfere when I hear crying or when there's a time out. The only time I've run downstairs to see what's happening is when the fire alarm went off. [/quote]
