Working From Home in the Summertime
Hot fun in the summertime . . . except when you’re trying to actually, I don’t know . . . get work done and you’re summoned to referee between two kids who are having a heated dispute over a driveway basketball game or about who gets to use the family room with a friend and banish all others from it, or you’re asked to provide a steady stream of food for a voracious pack of children who can’t seem to go more than an hour without proclaiming famine-like hunger.
Being a work-from-home parent who’s trying to teach her kids how to be self-sufficient in keeping themselves busy until we go to the pool we’ve joined in the afternoons (without shelling out mucho bucks for camps for three kids) can be a challenge, one which you need to approach with an expansive sense of humor. I tackle this topic in this week’s column at Mommy Track’d.
Local mom and author Meredith O'Brien gives you a peek behind the picket fences of modern day parenting. With humor and candor, it's her take on real parenting in the real world.
