Congratulations on being able to make money working from home! You are probably the envy of moms everywhere who would love nothing better than to be in your shoes as a work at home mom. Did you know that work at home moms face a myriad of challenges that are often not realized until they are well into the work relationship? Granted, your comfy chair in front of your computer and your cat curled up on your lap make for probably the best work environment known to woman, but there are some pitfalls that might turn this opportunity into a nightmare.

Being your own boss is a concept that you may understand yet it may be foreign to your girlfriend who is in a pinch and needs a babysitter. Suddenly you find that you are on the speed dial of sitter-less friends everywhere, who while admiring your ability to be able to work at home, do not seem to understand that you have a schedule to keep, deadlines to meet, and tasks to perform. Suddenly you find that you are asked to watch children so your friends can go to their jobs, thus leaving you unable to do your work. Given such a circumstance, you know how hard it is to say no when a friend in need approaches you. While it is easy to advise the stay at home mom to simply say no to those who would take advantage of her, it is much easier said than done.

The best thing to do is have a dedicated phone line for your business that you answer during working hours, while allowing your personal calls to be picked up by your
answering machine. Also alert your children’s school to the fact that you have a new work number so that you will not have to worry about missing any important calls having to do with them.

Be aware that it may not just be the girlfriend who might not understand that you are actually working and are your own boss, but your husband and other family members may fall into the same category! You might suddenly have to deal with requests to pick up the husband’s dry cleaning, take the cat to the vet, call the bank to sort out a problem with the mortgage check, and a host of other tasks that will zap your energy and take time away from the business you are trying to run. Setting a schedule that is discussed beforehand with your family will quite possibly help them to understand that there are certain blocks of time during which you are unavailable, and this might mean that the dry cleaning will have to wait for another day and the cat will have to wait until the weekend to get her shots.
