This is still a real problem for many work-at-home mothers (or even home-schooling mothers) and just might make for some great blogs/columns in parenting blogs, circles, and magazines. I'm not one of the single mom with no-help mom anymore - but my daughters & daughter-in-law still deal with it (although I help out when I can); however this is still a hot topic for moms.

Don't usually comment here, but your post today intrigued me. I have recently decided to chase my dream of becoming a writer in the children's genre. As I began to look at the path - I realized that first I had to find/create a space to be used primarily for the pursuit of that dream. A place to write, a place to communicate with my muse, and a place to do the mechanics of that dream (ie: a desk, computer, printer, phone, within a creative & inspiring space). It also has to say MY SPACE FOR CREATING to others. You must have a designated space to claim for yourself - because when you don't; your space becomes shared space and you can & often do give it over to someone elses needs whenever they need it -- and like most moms - your needs fade to the background. So even though my children are adults with their own homes now - I am still battling for my space with frequent grandchildren visits. I took on the task of creating my new writing space in a spare bedroom that I had stored 30 years of teachers materials & 'kept' items, along with craft/sewing and a partial office space. You are welcome to follow my progress in my blog, if it might help you on your research for the new book on following your dreams. I liken it to that of an artist's space. If you are serious about your 'art', whatever that may be - you must respect it enough to give it its own space to flourish. Hope this helps you, Talula.

The only advise I give, is to be aware of time constraints. Free memberships are usually of short duration. I use a lot of these free memberships to pull as much information as possible so that I can do whatever it is on my own without the cost of continued membership. Kristi Hi Carmen,
