4. Your kids always know when you have a meeting or work event because this is the only time you ever do your hair or makeup. Oh and by the way, they need to back up with their fruit roll up sticky hands.

9. When you tell people you are a work from home mom they look at you like you are from another planet. “So wait, you stay at home with your kid, and you work?” People immediately assume you either live in a pig sty, spend no time with your kids, or that your work isn’t real.

10. When people do realize how your life works they think you have the easiest job ever. When it comes down to it, it may not be the easiest but you certainly wouldn’t change it for the world. You love achieving your career goals, and being with your kids. It may be messy, but it’s spectacularly beautiful.
