Of course I have been an MT for almost 21 years so someone fresh out of school would be a different story. But I have a 13 yo and twin 2 yo and I have worked at home since 13 yo was 2. Back then I was statutory and didn't have a set schedule so I would just work early in the morning before she got up and during her nap. When I worked I FOCUSED and WORKED HARD. She is in school now of course, but since having my twins my company is now requiring a set schedule. So I just had to figure out a way to do it. The first thing is that I am NOT full time. I work 5 a.m. to 10 a.m. Mon-Fri. The babies usually sleep until 9 a.m. if I am lucky, sometimes get up a bit earlier. If I can get to bed by 10 p.m. I am okay....but if I can't then I just take a little nap when they do in the afternoon. My office is in the corner of our HUGE family room and it is gated off so that they are within my view....and they just eat at their little table and watch cartoons or play for that 1 hour until I'm done.
Sure it slows me down, but that is a compromise I am willing to take. I can still make $22K+ and my quality is 99-100%.
So....it can be done.....but probably not by a newbie. I really feel bad for them. The ads are so deceiving.
