And when your child is home sick, you can stay fairly productive while caring for them. Multitasking is a myth.

No matter how skilled you think you might be in this particular area, studies consistently show that it is basically impossible to multitask. Rather than focusing on one thing, we are partially focusing on a variety of things, and being less productive in the process. When it comes to your children and work, partial focus is simply not enough.

Your kids will always act up at the worst moment: Your professional reputation can be harmed if your children are easily heard during conference calls on a regular basis.

Of course, there are always exceptions to the rule, and when school is closed or a child is home sick, these sorts of interruptions might be overlooked.

While you might think that your job is fairly repetitive and easy to predict, there will be days when nothing goes as planned. For all of those times when work throws you a curveball, you will be thankful you have childcare in place. You deserve to be taken seriously.

Setting firm boundaries between parent-at-work and parent-at-home is critical when you are a work-from-home parent. On the other side of the coin, you deserve to take yourself seriously. Your kids will probably be happier. When the workday is over, you can spend some serious quality time with you kids, and the old adage is true—absence makes the heart grow fonder.
