1) Children and/ or Spouse
I homeschool my 2 children (ages 12 and 13). My DH generally works nights, so he is home for the morning and part of the afternoon. I try to separate business and personal, but sometimes they'll have requests or be looking for something and ask. If I'm occupied with the daycare, I tend to snap at them lately because I want to help them, but I can't. I only keep 4 children, so if it's naptime, or they're all occupied with a craft or playing, then I can answer a question so I don't want to have a blanket "don't talk to me during business hours" rule. How do you handle this with your children or spouse?
2) Solicitors, annoying neighbors, anyone knocking on your front door.
My daycare room is right on the front of our house- huge windows that start near the floor and a sidewalk that runs directly in front of the windows from our driveway to the front door. I have shades that I keep open during business hours (only closed at naptime) because it keeps the room so bright and sunny and we all enjoy looking out and watching the birds, etc.. How do those of you who have a similar situation handle people at the door? I can't exactly ignore them since they can see me... Authorities or package delivery are welcome, of course
Thank you in advance!
