Its all a state of mind! I work from home and have been for the last 10+ years. I'll work on the patio. In the yard. While doing laundry. While preparing breakfast, lunch and dinner.

When my kids were little I'd get some of my best work done at the park or the play yard at McDonalds where they would stay occupied for hours on end.

Without realizing it, the wife tends to take advantage of the fact that I'm here by asking me to do things she wouldn't if I had a normal job...things like watch the baby for an hour while she runs some errands, expecting me to be able to pick the kids up from school if she's running late, etc.

Hehe, just a thought, but a lot of moms work full time at home businesses and take care of the kids themselves. Having a spouse to take care of the kids full time and just being asked to pitch in an hour here and there would seem like a dream job to a lot of work at home moms.
