How do you draw boundaries when you are working from home full time and you also have childcare at home full time? My 7 and 4 year olds are at home with a sitter this summer, and my 7 year old is constantly barging into my office looking for attention, complaining about the sitter, generally whining. I feel like I am going to lose it. After months of trying to balance working and child care, now that we have a sitter, I need to be able to work without interruption. Both for my work productivity and my mental health. Plus, I feel like I am inadvertently undermining the babysitter just by being here. (My husband is here too, but of course, none of this is an issue with or for him.)

Does anyone have tips?
