[quote=Anonymous]FT working mom of 3, toddler through elementary age. I am very fortunate to have a flexible job and supportive boss. When I didn't have that in my precious job, I felt overwhelmed all the time, and cutting down to part time didn't help much at all. Now, when I feel overwhelmed it's probably because over I've over-committed. Sometimes there are just tough days and I remind myself tomorrow is a new day. Things that help keep me sane the rest of the time are: - keep dinner simple (it's always the same rotation and nothing fancy) - hired a house cleaner twice a month (all I have to do is the easy maintenance cleaning in between but no more scrubbing the bathroom) - prep lunches and anything that needs to go to school the night before - lower (more realistic, not perfectionist) expectations[/quote]
