I love love love being able to stay home to work. Really I do, but I do have some complaints as well.
- People that assume that since I am home I have all the time in the world. It’s like they just assume that working at home is easier. It’s not easier at all. I mean it’s awesome to always be there for your kids…but that does not make it easy to get stuff done.
- You never get alone time. I remember going to work out of the home and having some time just to myself. Even the ride to and from was time for me to think without being interrupted.
- Insurance, I really want some. I try looking at all these online places about insurance and I am just totally lost on where to start. For instance term life insurance online quotes, What the heck…someone help me out please. Explain to me what I need.
- My house is never empty. I bust my butt getting it in order, only for it to be torn apart in 15 min. It is NEVER empty.
- I don’t get much adult conversation.
- People who say…I just don’t know where you find the time to do all this stuff. Hey, turn the TV off! Time does not just fall into my lap. I make time to do what I need and want to do.
I’m sure I could list a few more. Seriously though…I wouldn’t want it any other way. So what if I didn’t get all the laundry done or there are a few dishes in the sink. I’ll get to it eventually…….

#6. I hear all these conversations about all these TV shows all these moms are watching. In the next breath, they don’t have time to do XYZ and I’m like, “Um, yeah. But you know so much about the private lives of all these celebrities. What a life skill..”
7. It’s a sacrifice, but it beats handing the kids over to strangers for most of the waking hours in their day while you commute to the office.
Cute blog!
Thanks for visiting me! I’m glad you get #6 and number 7 is perfect!
Those are some great complaints for a work at home mom, I don’t think any of us can really understand without being in your shoes. I guess I would cut us a little….or a lot of slack in that regard. Not all of us have juggled so much in that type of setting before. Work at home moms are definitely under appreciated in our culture today.
