Combining Family and Work

Have you ever wondered how professional work at home freelance writers combine work and home? Parenting can be a major problem. Children do nto respect work time, and they need us. Deadlines are important, but so are children.

There is no secret. It is something that all writers must learn to cope with. The important thing to remember is that the family will never understand. Even if you make more money than you did when working outside of the home, family will not understand.

They will still expect you to run errands, watch TV at night, make dinner, have he laundry done. So, what do you do? Well, at first there is nothing you can do. But, when you start making good money, you can start hiring work.

A house cleaner will cost $50 - 60 and take 5 - 6 hours to clean the house. A good freelance writer can make $15 - 20 an hour, earning $75- $120. So, the writer will make $15 - $60 by hiring help.

Writing a budget and keeping a record of how much you make per hour - will help you find solutions to your problems.
