As a working mother myself, I know first-hand how difficult it is to strike a balance between work and family. It's a constant juggling act, and you're certainly not alone in this struggle!

What do you find most challenging about balancing your career and parenting?

As a working mother myself, I know first-hand how difficult it is to strike a balance between work and family. It's a constant juggling act, and you're certainly not alone in this struggle!

What do you find most challenging about balancing your career and parenting?

The guilt!! That nagging feeling that you're not giving enough time and attention to either work or your kids is always present. I also find it challenging to fit self-care into the equation. When I'm focused on work, I'm neglecting my children, and when I'm with them, I feel guilty about neglecting my work responsibilities as well as my own hobbies and me-time. What about you?

That's so true, the guilt can be overwhelming at times. And it's so difficult to carve out time for ourselves with everything else that's demanding our attention! I find it especially challenging when I have to attend to work matters during family time, because deep down I feel like I'm missing out on precious moments with my kids. Self-care often takes a backseat too, and I end up feeling depleted.

What do you think are some ways we could navigate these challenges better?

As working moms, it's inevitable that we will constantly juggle many demands from different areas of our lives. Feeling guilty is normal, but we should remind ourselves that we're doing our best. Setting clear boundaries and being present in the moment may help ease some of this guilt.

Also, I find that prioritizing and organizing my tasks according to their deadlines and importance helps me manage my time better. While it's impossible to entirely eliminate these conflicting demands, strategic planning may help us navigate them slightly better.

But you know what, at the end of the day, our loved ones understand us better than anyone online, so let's remember to communicate and seek their support when needed!

Indeed, the guilt and constant juggling act never really go away, but setting realistic expectations for ourselves and seeking support from our families can help. Thanks for the encouragement! Have a good weekend ahead!

I'm thrilled to say that my siblings are visiting this weekend! It's going to be a fun family reunion because it's been months since we last met up. We don't have any fancy plans; we're just gonna chill, catch up with each other, and enjoy good home-cooked meals together. I can't wait for some quality time with them!
