Working at home with kids
I can relate to this problem – working from home with children - but I’m not sure that all of the six tips on offer at would work for me.
“#6 Ask your spouse to communicate with you via IM or email.
Nothing makes it more obvious that you’re working from home more than having your spouse constantly talking to you. Ask her to email or instant message you so you can ignore them like you would your coworkers’ messages if you were at the office. ”
Try telling that to my wife! Especially the bit about being able to ignore her. Now of course if she’s working at home, and I’m looking after the baby, I wouldn’t dare tap gently on the office door for anything short of an all out disaster.
