get into a room with a door and a lock and use it when "at work"...don't open the door unless you smell smoke and it ain't ts4 frying a processor...train the wife and kids like you would train a dog, eventually they'll learn to leave you alone...buy a white noise generator to cancel out they're whining...re: dishwasher, compare wages with the wife at the end of the week, if your income is greater than the wife's, then make her load the dishwasher next week, otherwise you do it ...if you don't make any money, small wonder she's pissed off waiting for the promise of a trader's payoff while living in a cramped house...3000 sq ft is too "cramped" for me ;-)

my family and i have an "understanding" and that's just the way it has been for several decades...end of discussion...

Has anybody got a site or forum where i can get some ideas/answers to
questions/problems about 'working from home and the family'?

Basically i have only about 100 problems.

Mostly its their perception on what i do and how much time it takes...

the top 3 is stuff like ummmmmm

Spouce thinks i have done a lot of work when the lawn is mowed and the
washing is done and i should be real tired[2hours work], but doesnt
understand if i spend a full day at the pc that i would be tired.

and ummmm

Spouce thinks cause i work from home i can do everything at home as well and
i have been doing nothing all day because i didnt pack the dishwasher.

and ummm

Spouce/children think i can be interupted with meaningless stuff because i
am at home.

I wish i had enough money for an office ,but i only have a tiny house
without an office/spare room.....i am considering headphones now with noise
cancelling technology.... any ideas? i dont want to move to a bigger house ,
or travel to another place to work. :O(
