For the moms who are WFH.

I take care of my son myself during the day and my husband works nights. So he helps some but I do majority and it's been good. My job has a goal for the month so if he's having a hard day one day I try to make up for it the next. But my son also sleeps in later so I can have some time to get some done

I WFH and honestly if it wasn't for my husband watching our 8 month old baby throughout the day idk how I would get any work done. Its not impossible to WFH with a baby but it's definitely hard.

It really depends on your job and on your baby.

My job isn't that demanding and I still need help. My mom comes all day on Tues and Thurs and I have a sitter come for 4-6 more hours a week. If I had a more demanding job it would be impossible to do both imo. I think either my job or the baby would suffer

I work from home and honestly don’t think I could do it while watching my 8 month old. I kept her home with me for the first 3 weeks after my 12-week maternity leave and it was challenging. Now that she’s mobile I definitely don’t think I could juggle both. And my job isn’t hard, but I do have quite a few meetings.

What kind of wfh jobs do you guys have?

I work from home 4/5 days of the week and my job is pretty slow so it’s easy to get work done with my baby. I take care of her everyday while working. On Mondays which are my in-office days unless I have to switch it to a different day, my mom has that day off and watches my daughter. Other than that, I don’t get help throughout the week but I am able to manage as my job really isn’t busy. But most work from home jobs, you may need a babysitter or nanny.

I used to WFH but a month ago I came back to the office 3x week, honestly it’s impossible if your job requires some level of customer service/phone calls/video calls. I do HR for a public school & baby sometimes just cries or gets fuzzy during my calls. Tried for a week and then sent her to daycare. Now we are all happy 😅
