We all know juggling
work and
family is stressful. Life is hard as it is with debts, bills and worries. When a
spouse stays
home to take
care of the
family it can be
easy on them. When one has to got to
work from 9-5 the one who is with the
kids all day sometimes can be stressed. Feeding and caring for
children is a
easy job but physically it is alot of work. Sometimes you got to drop
kids off at school and afterschool
events and that can keep you busy and tired. I am a stay at
home parent and when my
spouse comes
home the housework is done,
house looks clean,
kids are washed and
dinner is on the table(or almost). It is a busy day to
care for the
kids and house. I do go to
work sometimes with my
spouse because we do have a
family business. The childresn get to come and
play in the playroom and they
love it. I see my
spouse stress over bills sometimes and I feel bad. Like every business it has its great days and bad days. The customers can be edgy and moddy if things are not going their way. When my
spouse comes
home of course I ask " How was your day" but I already know. I stay
home and do not have a social life because I am in all day. I do the paperworks and take
care of the bills at home. My
children do not let me get that doen most of the time. It is hard to sit down and think when you have
kids screaming or wanting a toy or the remote control. I can be frustrating at times. When we do things as a
family which is alot we go to parks, drive-in
movies and restraunts. Any parent who works and has to
care for their
kids is hard. Here are some tips to make time for
work and them: Schedule a time to sit down When they nap or have
play time do some
work or chores Have them help ex. place the paperclips on or pile the folders Find time and it will get done I
work on the internet and I find it hard to write with the
children around. I write my articles on paper when they are playing, napping, or out back playing. I sit their on the deck with my notebook. For me its
easy but sometimes I can not think. When they nap or at night when they are in bed I do my
writing on my pc. It can be tough but I do it. Balancing a
job and
family all works at the end of the day. It is all about how you do it. The key is have patience and enjoy the
kids but make time for your work.
