Is Being a WAHM All That?

In my last "proper job" I was stressed out all the time. I kept having to work long hours dealing with people who were not exactly all that pleasant. I just felt really deflated and worthless. I wanted to dedicate more time to my husband and two kids but it's really been an uphill struggle.

Don't believe everything you read about working from home. You don't really get to choose your own hours. Instead you have a certain number of tasks that need to be carried out and you pretty much don't stop until they've all been finished. I've seen myself working from 6am to 2pm before. It's not very healthy and I don't recommend it. Being a WAHM just isn't all that.

Then you get the family phoning up asking up to do this and that. They don't seem to realize that I'm working. Just because I'm working from home doesn't mean I can just drop everything.

Something happened the other day that really angered me. Basically I was working on getting some samples to a shop and needed to get it sent out before the day's deadline. Anyway, a workman who was in fixing the leak in the kitchen asks me for a cup of tea. I was not amused to say the least! Who the hell does he think I am?!
