Woodspan,
Not that I'm the best at this but I try to do my personal 'porn work' when they are sleeping. With school out now, it's getting a little more demanding with soccer games/practices and the like.
During 'work' hours - everyone on the face of the planet knows that:
1) If we don't work, the bills don't get paid.
2) If I choose to work at home, it's because I get more done without the waste of time travelling in traffic - there's no way in hell I'll go driving around on errands for anyone else.
3) There are exceptions - but basically, when I decided to stay home to work - from the first request to go out and run an errand for someone else, I replied with a question "Would your boss mind if you were running errands for me? He would? Yeah, so does mine - whether it's a company or the bank that collects your mortgage, they don't care about the favours you're doing for your friends/family"
I know your kids are younger than mine (my youngest is almost 6) but even when it was time for a diaper change or a time to feed I would use that time to clear my thoughts and plan what I would get ready when I'd sit again.
Don't let the situation frustrate you - your kids are young once and in a few years, you'll regret having missed out on 'enjoying' them. LMAO
