SAHM's and starting businesses. Anyone?

Just wondered I there was anyone else in the same boat?

My DCs are at school (Y4 and Y6) so I'm only a SAHM in holidays really.
Starting a business is flipping hard work, you'll need some childcare if your DCs are young or DCs that sleep A LOT more than you do
My business is a couple of months in, and I am still spending inordinate amounts of time getting to grips with social media, networking etc.
have you considered linking up with another mum for a mutual childcare arrangement so you can both get time without DCs?

You could consider buying an established business - all the hard work is in the first years. Once it is set up and running smoothly it is much easier to combine with being a SAHM.
