I am a SAHM and work part time at home. I feel guilty because I am always trying to squeeze in some work and it's SO easy to be distracted by work and leave the kids to watch TV. Yes, I am with them, but that doesn't mean they always get the quality time and attention they deserve. So whether you work from home, away from home, or not work at all, it's just about finding a balance and giving your kids what you can.

I worked full time until we moved last year, now I am at home full time. I am so much more relaxed at home now because I have so much more time to complete all the same tasks. However, I've also learned that things don't have to be perfect and it's always good to let some things go. For example, my daughter is now old enough to help with the vacuuming and sweeping. So, when we have company coming and I get stressed about getting things in order, I have her pitch in. Is it up to my standards? No. Is it acceptable, yes. I say yes because if I don't I will stress about it. Her helping with those things allows me to do other things and accomplish more if that makes sense. Even if it's something simple like dusting, the kids can help. :-D Lynnes last blog post..<a href="http://sewingmom.com/2008/06/18/wordless-wednesday-5/" rel="nofollow">Wordless Wednesday</a> I can completely understand where you’re coming from.
