First things first babe, if your moving, let the real estate know beforehand you want to work from home and need permission... otherwise you could end up in the perfect house, and the owner say no.....
I have done FDC from 4 different houses now, so I have had 4 different set ups!!!
Did you have two living areas?I have/and havent, and I wouldnt do it ever again unless i did, esp with Shell and Jazz being home. You really need some "family space" with this job, its long hours.
A set-up in the garage?
I am currently set up in the double gagrage. Its awesome!! a large space with lino and rugs.. the kids can go nuts and they cant hurt anything!!!
How did you decide what was 'common ground' and what was 'home'. How did your children react?
When I had it in the house, 1 loungeroom, it was very hard. They had no where to go to escape the kids... I wouldnt recommend it, esp with a bub maybe on the way too!!! You need clear boundaries for "work" and for "Shell and Jazz to escape"
Do you have school-age children attending outside of school hours care?
No. I have had when mine were little though. It can be hard, esp if they need picking up/dropping to school....
Do you have a car big enough to for all the car seats/boosters in it?
Yes But many dont. You dont need one if there is somewehere to walk to...
Is anyone renting? How have you gone with any home modifications that may have been needed in reantal situation?
I have in the past, and it was no worries. there isnt that much to do usually, and there are easy ways around almost every problem.
Good luck babe, and pick our brains when you need to!!! xoxoxo
