Anyone else a stay at home parent and running their business?
Just like the title says really. My daughter will be three this year and I've been the primary parent for her during the day. My wife works from home as well but is in her office at least six hours a day, sometimes more. Just wanted to see if anyone has any tips or tricks for me. Any time I feel like I get a good routine going with my kid she breaks it and I either have to start the routine over or abandon it completely. If I can get a little vulnerable, I don't feel like I'm getting to where I'd like to be because I can't properly practice or organize my library without having small hands pressing random buttons, having to constantly get up and prevent her from doing silly kid things, or I'm getting climbed on. The only time I really have to work on anything is pretty late at night once both my kid and wife go to bed, and by then I'm just exhausted and know I have to get back up early again to do it the next day.
My parents moved into town within the last year and it's helped a little but they've both gotten day jobs which kind of negates some of the plans of me bringing my kid over to their place more often so I can get a break and work on things. There's a small bit of toxic masculinity in me that's telling me to suck it up and work harder, but I'm trying to be better about asking for help. Anyway, didn't mean for this to be a whole journal entry lol. Any tips are appreciated. 🤙🏾🤙🏾
