It's all about discipline!

 I love being by myself too. I live out in the country and I love not having to drive in the winter (I live in the north). I get up at 6:00 a.m. and I'm done at 2:30. Lots of places are full of flexibility. I love learning I've been doing this job for almost 24 years now and it's great. You learn a LOT every day! Like the other gals said though, you have to know your stuff. I've been working at home now for 10 years and I love it. I had worked a lot of years in clinic/hospital setting though and built up a lot of experience to be able to be really good at what I do. Good luck with whatever you decide to do.

But what a shame that the right to discipline has more or less
I was actually investigated by child protection because a teacher reported me for washing my 11 year old daughter's mouth out with soap because she called me a f'ing b****. All I did was put a spot of dishsoap on her tongue and told her that if she used those words in our house again or if I heard of her using those words again she would get the same. Those words are not spoken in my home, but they're heard daily by the kids walking by my house on their way to and from school. The only thing she learned from the whole lesson is that I have no authority and now she can threaten ME.
Work Discipline
How do you stay disciplined while working at home?
I have found using "MyTimeManager" helps show how much/how little I have accomplished during the course of the day, but with a 4-year-old running around, it's easy to slack off and get off track.
Just wanted to see how everyone else stays disciplined while working at home :-)
MT is usually for medicine. Nursing is a different discipline.

yes working at home takes a lot of discipline
it's sometimes hard to get away from all the distractions (especially if you have no separate room for an office) but if the work is there and we don't do enough of it it's our own fault if the paycheck is small.
Totally agree with separate space, it helps my discipline, also!
Good luck!
I heard on the radio 23 states still have paddling in schools or physical discipline.
Does anyone's kids go to a school district where this is in place? I was shocked. I remember hearing rumors in middle school 20 years ago or so that they would paddle you, but I had no idea this was going on. I was shocked.
WRONG! A child that has a fear of discipline = a well behaved child.
I have a beautiful, intelligent 11 year old daughter that hasn't had a spanking in 6 or 7 years and probably only 3 her entire life. She is very well behaved and I get compliments on her behavior constantly. When she does get out of line all I have to say is, "Shall I call your father?" Call it what you want, it works. She respects and obeys me and her father. Why??? For fear of the facing the consequences of misbehaving. Having a total lack of fear or respect for authority is exactly what's wrong with Generation X/kids today. I turned out just fine as did my siblings. Why?? Because my parents took "time out" to bust our a$$es whenever we got out of line.
Is that clear enough for you???
