Cupid’s Advice:
For working moms there is never enough time in the day. Read on to find out how balance is key:
1. Set goals: Many people set goals at work, however it is important to do the same at home. Start small, like making it home for dinner and then transition into larger things like spending one whole day a week with your family.
2. Separate your time: Nothing will make your children feel worse than you taking a business call during time you reserved for your family. Keep your career time and family time from bleeding together.
3. Communication: Make sure you’re open to criticism from your partner and kids. If your family feels neglected then they may be scared to tell your so. Let them know that it’s okay to tell you you’re doing a bad job of juggling both.
