“I need a job where I can work from home.”

“We need a second income to make ends work.”

“How can I stay home with my baby and make more money?”

I see these comments all the time on Facebook mommy groups and my heart goes out to these mothers. As a work-at-home mom, I completely understand the desire to be home with your baby and needing a supplemental income. It’s why I do what I do.

But unsurprisingly, there were things no one told me before I took the plunge and started working from home.
