6 Tips for Working at Home with a Baby

whats a blog

Mothering should be a FULL TIME JOB - with benefits :)

I have an idea "DON'T" !!!! Slaves are so stupid and vile that they compromise their own well-being.

Says the stay at home with no job to worry about..Life must be good for you Jade..Wish all of us could just let our husbands earn the money while we sit and watch Baby can Read...These women are at least contributing to their household finances..doesn't look like you are doing much except making negative remarks..When you become a working mother with 2 kids and not just someone sitting in her pajamas running around behind your kid maybe then you will have something better to contribute..

And then people wonder about the quality of Yahoo writers.

I must say I have learned to just let it go. I'm a mother of a five year old and an eight week old. I have found not a thing in the world matters as much as they do. I get the house work done on the weekends and just keep up some during the week (dirty dishes, dirty floors, ect.) once my husband gets home and gets to spend time with them. Oh and yes moby wrap is the best for having more than one child? P.S. they are children, not "kids". A kid is a baby goat.

That's wonderfuly that people can blog while they are nursing!! however does anyone have advice for how to blog when you have two kids not 1 and 3??lol I also want to know how to blog to as a business! i am trying to promote a health challenge that I have lost 20lbs with and went down to size 0, but most importantly, I no longer suffer chronic fatigue and would like to just hsare my story with other women who have the same issues. I feel i don't know the best way to start a successful blog.

Wait a minute... so you're telling me that your success to getting "work" done (which doesn't sound like work, but simply playing on the computer) while you have a baby/child/children is to:
1) Ignore them
2) Pawn them off on your husbands
3) Use smaller electronics
4) Do it when the baby is distracted (which sounds fair enough to me)
5) Put the baby in a wrap and scream at your 2-year-old from a chair.
Wow. You ladies are champs. Awesome parenting skills. Kudos.
Ignoring them is a good idea... til they burn the house down, or hurt themselves or one another because YOU weren't paying attention.
And pawning them off on your husband? If all you do is sit at home "working" (playing on the computer, because blogging isn't work) and he is the one who goes out to earn money and work his butt off, to come home and have you dump the kid/kids in his lap on top of that? Wow, I'm surprised he hasn't left you or died from exhaustion yet.
And using smaller electronics? How about actually paying attention to the small human being attached to your breast? Children are a miracle and though hard to manage sometimes, they grow up fast. You don't want to wake up one morning to an 18-year-old walking out the door to college or his/her own place and realize that you barely remember them as a child.
I can understand playing on the computer or something while your kid is distracted. I do that myself. I'm writing this as he is eating lunch. This one I can accept.
I have a 2-year-old myself and understand the need to get "away" for a while, but to seriously sit there and just yell at your kid and HOPE he listens? Are you serious? He's TWO!! How about getting off you butt and DOING something? He's not going to stop what he's doing just because you yelled at him. He's going to wait then go back to it when he thinks you're not looking. Then what do you do, scream at him again?
The smartest one out of you lot is Danielle. I agree wholeheartedly with her. If your precious computer time is THAT important, then do it after your CHILD is in bed or when he/she is eating. What do you all have housekeepers or something? I don't know about you, but I have to juggle a 2-year-old on top of house cleaning and running errands. MY suggestion? Get lots of sleep when you can. Go to bed early. I get my son breakfast and while he's eating I play on the computer. When he's done, I play with him (just me and him, no electronics for me.) I sit there and watch Your Baby Can Read with him and sing the songs with him. If I need a break, I put him in his room to play in his crib by himself for an hour (with a snack and a drink and the doors open so I can hear him) while I relax and either play on the computer or watch TV (sometimes both) Then I give him a bath and play with him some more. Then I give him lunch and wash the dishes, clean the catbox, take out the trash, sweep the floor (and anything else that needs doing) then I put him down for a nap, at which time I play on the computer and/or watch TV. When supper rolls around I do much the same thing. When his dad gets home they play for a bit (because he wants to spend time with his son, not because I force my son on him) then my son goes to bed and I'm free to do what I want until I go to bed and do it all again the next day. I eat when I can, mostly at night or steal something to eat when he is napping or eating, if I have time (because 2-year-olds think what you have it always better) You all need to learn priorities. Grow the heck up already. YOU are the adult. You're not teenagers anymore. Electronics are NOT more important than your family.

So the article should be entitled "Tips for how to Blog at home with a baby". Not all working from home is blogging.
Wow, I also can't believe how many people "blog" as a career.

My success is so secretive I don't have any.

very inventive

Frankly I am not sure why anyone needs to have a baby in their lap, on their keyboard, or in a chest sling while one works. Just put the kid in a crib already.
