If your job isn't one where you can be interrupted every five minutes, you're going to have a hard time both doing a job and raising a kid, at least until the kid is old enough to take care of themselves for an hour or more at a time. | |

If your "work from home" work lets you do an hour or two at a time, and catch up in the evenings after your child has gone to bed, it should work out. With an older child (12+) you may be able to work side by side for stretches of the day, but if you're homeschooling there will be a lot of time where you're not working at your job because you are teaching your child something. It's hard, don't think it's not. | |
