WFH with toddler
Show your support
Your work may not allow that as you are working and they may say WFH is not a substitute for daycare. Also, I couldn't do this as too distracting!
I wfh but cannot work if I don't have help. I usually have a sitter who comes for 4-5 hours a day and I manage the rest of my hours during his nap and/or in the evenings after SO is back home. My LO will NOT let me use my phone or laptop without wanting to use it himself. So it's impossible to get any work done when he's around 🙃 But every baby is different so ull know yours best!
It’s pretty much impossible. If you think you can get away with basically only working while she’s asleep or for 5 mins here & there then it might be okay but you won’t really get much done - so depends what you think you can get away with!
I could never make it work, my boy is really busy so wouldn’t last a full day entertaining himself even if I set up activities
I definitely couldn't work and look after my 18m. And I know she will only get even more active as she's going into toddler stage! My LO was off sick from nursery for 2 days. I could barely get anything done. She was climbing all over me and wanted me to play. I was exhausted by the end of that and I hoped she was well enough to go back on Weds. Luckily she was and I just brought her in on shorter hours but I sighed heavy relief when I dropped her off! 😅
Ah it’s okay for an hour or two if they’re napping or can watch a bit of TV but otherwise my lg just wants to “help” me work 😅 I have my mum round on my wfh day, but suppose it’s completely down to how your lo is!
