Do you have time to teach you child and also do you have a time to play to them. Even we are so busy these days. We should have to think how we can communicate with our children whenever we are at home. Most of the parents today are both busy on their jobs. We sometimes took for granted the obligation on our children, just keep thin in our mind our obligation on our children are not only just giving them the financial support such as sending them in good school, giving them the latest toys and sometimes braving them with money. Just to let us escape from our true obligation to them.
I have a friend who is a working mom before she had her second child. She only left her son to his nanny, before and whenever she is at home, she still carries the jobs she left from the office. She forgot that she had a son who is quietly waiting to carry him for a while and ask him how he does today. The routine is rolls over everyday of her life 5 times a week and sometimes 6 days. She can only attend to her child every weekend. Until had found out one day that her son is now more close to his nanny than her. Whenever he is hurt he run's to his nanny. She ask me what to do I advised her to give a break make her child be with him and let his child know more of her, anyway she is now carrying another child and in couple of months there are now 2 kids to take care. I tell her that at this moment until the baby is not yet coming her time and devotion must be on her first born.
She filed an indefinite leave for 6 months. Because she decided to give time to his son and the same time to lose some stress for the coming of her new baby. On the six months of her leave she started to love her son more, she discover the small bright boy who only wants is to have her beside him. He make this moment always memorable on the two of them. Teach him everything a child would learn. Talk to him and play with him as much as she can. Until the day comes and she have to go back to work. It is really sad if you already like to be always beside you children but you cannot because she also think of their future and now she knows how to balance her work and her family.
To balance your work and family these are some tips to remember.
1. Explain to your child the work day and who will be taking care of them while you are working.
2. As much as possible avoid taking overtime work or being too stressed on the job.
3. Find rituals to connect you to your kids. Like talking to them over the phone, leave little notes on their bedside before you leave for the office.
4. And lastly leave your work at the office; don't bring home the problem that stresses you. Be strict to you self do proper time management, because at home your family is now your job.
