Space is limited, we have lots of stuff, and there’s barely any room to maneuver. When I enter through the front door and into the living room there’s a 80” x 72” playpen taking up the majority of the space. With the playpen there’s barely enough room to walk around to the couch, stand next to the changing table, and swing the door open to allow people to enter or leave the house. But it’s a good place to write as long as my children don’t climb all over me, which is often. So, I always have my notebook and pencil with me instead of my phone. If you do this, remember two things. Don’t let them grab your notebook and pencil so they can put them in their mouths and don’t focus too much on writing when your children want you to play with them. writing children playpen stayathomedad a href="https://remark.as/p/ernestortizwritesnow.com/writing-in-my-sons-playpen"Discuss.../a !--emailsub-- ]]> My condo is small.
