When my children don’t get enough sleep, they are animals. When they get hangry? Forget about it. When the mood strikes them, they proclaim a trade embargo on any exchange of toys, books, food, or clothing item. There are times when they are little angels who float on clouds, and there are those times when they crash to the earth in a conflagration of chaos. In short, they fight. And they can fight hard. When those tear-streaked faces come whining at my door, I have two ways of handling them.
As women, we are under a lot of pressure in modern society. We must look “better” than what is natural for our age, be strong bosses at work, have, but not need, a partnership in our personal lives, and if having children happens for us, be the most loving, nurturing, and adoring mother that ever lived. Have you ever met anyone who can do all of those things? I haven’t. But I’ve met plenty of women who have felt most, if not all, of these pressures.
Let’s face it: working from home can be super stressful. Sure, we all love the commute. And we would love to see ”business on the top, comfort on the bottom” attire become the norm in every avenue of our lives. However, the lines between work and play have become more blurred. Should you write that email now or after the kids are in bed? The juggling act of life that was complicated before kids can be downright daunting now- especially if your family is home with you.
