Having a home and managing a job is sometimes a superhuman task. Today, women with children work on a daily basis, and few women can afford to stay home to care for their children. 7]
Returning to work after maternity leave? Don\’t worry, it is possible to balance family and work!
Indeed, few women these days can afford to stay home with their children and do household chores. Being a housewife simply means having no income, and it is difficult for a family to survive on just one income these days. So mothers typically work, but that is not always easy. Especially if the job is demanding or if you are trying to build and further your career. Worried about whether you can handle it all? How can you successfully juggle both?
Time for work and time for family
Some women want to go back to work, not just for the money, but because they can\’t be without work. Whatever the reason, make a decision before you start working. You should decide exactly when you will go to work and when you will spend time for your family. The two should never go together, and you should never try to cut work out of your family affairs or vice versa. If you are at home, give your full attention to your family, do homework with your children, sign in, cook dinner, and play with your children. Work emails can wait, phone calls can wait. Because if individual activities and responsibilities interfere with each other, they quickly get out of hand and you find yourself with less and less time for work and family.
Delegate responsibilities to others, don\’t be afraid to do so
There is nothing wrong with letting the kids help around the house or simply pushing the cleaning to the weekend. On weekends, when everyone is home, you can clean together. That way you can give everyone a job to do and get everything done faster. Whenever you get the chance, enlist the help of family members. Ask your grandmother to babysit or ask a friend or loved one. Don\’t be afraid to ask for help. Nowhere does it say that you have to manage everything yourself once you return to work.
Finding leisure activities or clubs for your children can also help. Every extra afternoon spent taking care of the children can count as a good thing.
