How do work at home moms do it?

I have a two year old that is constantly wanting to have my attention and getting on my computer and paperwork. I cannot do anything until she is napping or sleeping for the night and I end up sleeping or catching up on housework instead. What helps???

Nothing I think can help you unless you can pay/have someone to look after your two year old while you work. I have a three year old. Now that she is sleeping, I cant seem to get off mylot, I enjoy it that much.

and of course the bags are happily showing. So you have to decide your beauty sleep or money.

So true. I have dark circles though...heehee :) The problem is when I sleep in to catch up my two year old catches up with me and gets jet-lagged in the process. I still attach her to my back when she is cranky since she nursed and it soothes her when she wants me to just hold her, that is the only thing that is helping now.
It won't last though as she is 35 lbs and gaining :/ Thank you for responding :)

Enjoy her as much as you can. I know how cute she can be. I also have a teenager. Now he wants me to leave him alone. Almost all my friends wished that their teens are back to when they were cute and adorable.
Thanks for the BR!

That is really happening in a lot of households. I sometimes experience the same thing. The good thing is, I have older kids that can help me with some of the chores. But then, there are times when you really could not handle everything at the same time. So when it happened to me one time, I had to excuse from my work (even if I was only working at home online)and attend to my kids.
You'll get the hang of it, eventually. Cheer up!

Thank you so much for the comment! It was very positive. I love spending time with her just trying to figure out what things that will help her be more independent like playing in a fake kitchen she can do alone or pushing a baby carriage but her focus span on these activities are short. My nine year old will read or draw for hours so I am enjoying just spending time with my two year old since I miss my eldest and her endless energy. I just need to schedule playtime alone with myworktime, I'm gathering her scheduling now to see what she does all day to see when it is best to work and have her chill not high energy. Happy myLotting!!
