[quote=Anonymous]It's hard to find a good balance. I do think it's a unicorn and I've accepted that. I'm always feeling like between the 3- job, kids and self-care, there's always one that takes priority (and  it's always job or kids) depending on the situation/event. Ex. deadlines at work forces me to semi-ignore the kids; or a sick child at home affects my focus at work. For me, it helps that I have a husband who doesn't mind me putting in the hours for work and he has a flexible and much more relaxed job (not deadline driven).
A house cleaner is huge and just being super organized with my time, like scheduling haircuts, etc. way in advance; which I'm still working on TBH. At the end of the day, my kids understand that I have a job that requires me to work a lot sometimes and during those times I won't be able to spend as much time with them. Then on the days when the job isn't so crazy, then I make damn sure to always be there for them- not on the phone, not on the computer, etc.. It's really more about quality over quantity.[/quote]
