Working from home mums … it sounds ideal and seems to be the best decision when a mum wants to stay independent and see how her children grow. But just like everything else, working from home has both its advantages and disadvantages. Here they are:
PROS:
- freedom and flexibility
You are welcome to tail your day according to your needs, whether you want to spend time with the kids, or simply work.
- tax benefits
When you work from home you can work tax free.
- stress
Work from home is less stressful because you don’t have a boss, there is no need to get up early and correspond to any dress-code or company rules.
- family
You can spend a lot of time with your family.
- money
You can easily save money on clothes and patrol.
CONS:
- family
When you have children and they come home from school they will like to spend some time with you but you can be more productive around that time.
- money
When you work freelance there is no constant flow of money.
- social contacts
Be ready to the absence of the social interaction. I am ready to bet you will be cut off from the rest of the world.
- self-discipline
It will be really difficult to motivate yourself when you’re working from home.
Despite all the disadvantages working from home is still a perfect way out when you have small children and would like to devote most of your time to them! Find more information at WorkingMums.co.uk.
