Soon to be WAHD questions
Hi. I'm not new to working from home, but I'm going to soon be a WAHD. Does anyone have any general or random advice?
I've heard stories from WAHM's and they tend to live in yoga pants/leggings mostly. Depending on where you are, these are also acceptable outside the house if needed. But what would the option be for WAHD's? I'm trying to find something I could wear that would be acceptable inside and outside the house, but as comfortable as yoga pants/leggings for WAHM's. I'd rather not have to wear jeans all day. Any suggestions? |
Wear something comfortable. Maybe shorts or sweatpants? I think it's easier to be productive when you are comfortable. :)

My other half prefers his cammo jammies or plain old sweat pants. However, getting up and getting ready for the day is important and you don't want to let working from home prevent you from taking care of you especially now that you will be a WAHD. :) |

I would say that if you're feeling a bit nervous or anxious once your wife's maternity leave is over, having a m or mil around some at first would help. If you have that luxury, I would accept the help. But you never know, the time may come and you may already feel like a pro on your own! :) Best wishes!

Just wear whatever is comfortable for you. Most things that are acceptable for at home are also acceptable for running errands. If you are doing anything else other than errands you will want to change anyway...

It is up to you!
Wear what works best for you. I am not a fan of yoga pants but sweats are amazing. On days DH doesnt venture out of the house much, he wears shorts or pajama pants. It is all about what you feel comfy in!

I wear my pajama pants most of the day... then midday I put on my workout shorts and get in a 30-45 min workout. After I my workout I put on a pair of shorts or sweatpants. (I'll wear jeans if I'm leaving the house.)
However, the "experts" recommend getting dressed up as if you're were going to an actual office. Thinking is you'll feel more professional and be more productive. I believe there is some truth to this and sometimes follow this advice. Ultimately, do what is comfortable and works for you. If you're not leaving the house, and not going to be seen by anyone... PJs all say is fine if it doesn't make you feel like a slob. |
I'd definitely stick to whatever is comfortable for you. I rarely leave the house when I'm working but wear jogging bottoms in case I need to pop to the shop at lunch time.

I am looking to work more WAH jobs that I can log in and work and log out whenever I need too, instead of 9-5 phone jobs. |
