Work at Home Moms: Where's the Appreciation?


If only the Ego Repair Hotline actually existed. With three teens and no other adult in the house, I sometimes feel like the "Invisible Working Woman." Where's the love? Who's going to tell me I've done a great job or congratulate me when I've met a goal? Nobody.

Unfortunately, the lack of positive feedback is just a simple fact of working from home. I have been fortunate enough to work for a company that will send out a note to let me know when a client has been really happy with the work I've done. But on a day-to-day basis, there's no one here to pat me on the back and encourage me to keep going.

I feel lucky to be able to work from home, and I guess the lack of positive stroking is a small price to pay for this convenience. At the same time, if anyone knows the number to the Ego Repair Hotline, please share.
