Unable to juggle
I'm a work-from-home mum and I have 2 daughters. Of late, I feel like I'm unable to manage it all...finishing my work, cooking, keeping the house clean, taking care of my kids' studies...I feel very depressed...both my husband and I don't want to keep a maid. What should I do?
Hey super mom, don't fret! How old are your girls? Not sure if they can help you with some chores? You can try to involve them to help in the housework like keeping their tables and bed tidy, taking the clothes out from the washine machine and putting it on the hangers, vacuuming n mopping the floor. Let them take turns to help during the hour, so when one child is helping with the chores, you can guide the other in her studies and vice versa. Or when you are cooking, you can get the older girl to guide the younger one. Do up a reward chart to see who is the winner of Most Helpful Hero for that week etc. Get them to think about different awards and make it fun for all. When feeling tired or down, put dome light music in the background as you go about with your chores. Spread out your to-do tasks over the week, so not all of them have to be completed same day. Gradually you will be able to manage your tasks with ease :)
