Go easy on yourself
From clingy kids to work emergencies to unexpected school closures, even the best-laid plans can go awry. Working from home means being able to embrace those changes.
“You have to be okay with the curveballs,” Rylee explains. “You can’t judge yourself on what other people are doing.”
And whether life as a work- from-home parent is temporary or is full-time, remember to cut yourself some slack.
“Give yourself grace,” Christina says. “I think taking breaks from your work is okay, and just not being so hard on yourself. If we aren’t flexible with ourselves, and we don’t fill our cups first, it will trickle down to our jobs.”
