Dilbert creator has the same struggles we all have when working from home.

Well, maybe not all of us.

But for those of us with a family, there is a constant struggle between being at work...and being at home.

As Scott Adams, the cartoonist behind Dilbert, put it in a recent interview:

“I recently got married, so I've got two kids now in the house and stuff comes up. Kid gets sick and I'm right here. It's all good in the sense that I have flexibility, but if I drove two hours to work that wouldn't happen.”

Yes, stuff comes up. It’s hard to say, “No, I can’t help, I’m working.” And, of course, we want to help. But at the same time, we have deadlines to meet and schedules to keep up with.

Is there an easy answer? I don’t think so. It’s part of the tapestry of working from home.

If you have any insights into this aspect of working from home, feel free to comment.
