OK, I agree with you here.  I have run into so many people forget that 
working at home actually means working. You can certainly take in freelance 
projects on the side.  That's how I started my business. I worked full-time 
while dabbling. 

Don't expect to sit home, put a sign on your door, and expect clients to come 
knocking!
You still have to sell your services.  Yes, there are times when we just run 
into jobs, but those are the exception, not the rule.

Being a work-at-home parent is quite different than being a work-at-home 
person. Believe me, I've been both and I know!
