Every time we meet someone new and they find out that we both work from home, we get one of two reactions. The more common of the two is how do you get anything done with so many kids to distract you? The second one we get is ”Don’t you drive each other crazy?”

We usually lie and say that we love spending every minute together, but the truth is that everyone needs a little space. We break up schedule so that we get a few hours apart daily. We’ll even take turns with the kids to give the other a little time to breathe...
