Thanks, Mike. Yeah, I don’t know how people do it. Keeping both kids in day care, as some probloggers do, probably helps a lot. Having lots of relatives nearby would help, too. But I’m guessing that in the end the biggest thing would HAVE to be a drive to spend time that you COULD spend with your kids writing because you loved writing so much.

In other words, being driven to write or having a lot of help. If it’s just two people at home and they EQUALLY share the duties of childraising, I don’t think it’s possible to get much done. Something has to give – either one parent has to do a disproportionate amount of the work, or the kids have to be cared for by someone else – or you do all of your blogging from 11 pm to 4 am.

Dunno, but it’s a trick I never figured out while “problogging.”

MDJ – I guess it’s possible.

Maybe when you go pro you can post on how to work at home with the kids…

I don’t know how some of the probloggers do it! I know that Digerati Life and The Simple Dollar both have young children at home.

MDJ – 2 kids is harder than 1, but any kids will make it hard. You would have to put the kid in daycare or something a few days a week.

Thanks for the mention FP! With regards to working from home problogging, I had the same discussion with my wife yesterday. It would be virtually impossible with a young child at home. I can’t even imagine it if I had 2 young kids like yourself.
