Keys to harmonize work and family

We want to help you find the formula so that your work outside the home and taking care of your family is not an impossible mission.

Many women aspire to an ideal of life in which there is a happy marriage, happy children and owners of a successful professional career. This implies that on many occasions they have to face difficult decisions , where combining the role of lady of the house with the desire for personal fulfillment in the world of work can cause internal and family tensions that can be difficult to solve.

We tell you some keys to be applied at the time and that make your day to day more bearable:

-The first recipe is that there are no recipes to achieve it

-A lot of collaboration is required from your husband and also from other close relatives, as well as from the older children, if any.

-Allow yourself not to do everything perfectly: learn to delegate.

-Use all available technology at your fingertips: mobile phones, the Internet… so we will be online with our home and children even if we are not physically there with them. Also use it to do your weekly shopping online and save yourself more than two hours in the hypermarket walking your cart: dedicate that time to you and your loved ones.

-Always answer the calls that your children make you, even if they are minor or unimportant issues. You will make them feel more secure and close to you.

Teach them to prioritize, both your children and your partner, because although we are always available to them, there are issues that are urgent while others can be dealt with at night, during dinner, for example.

-Take your children to your workplace so that they know what you do and where, you will share an important part of your life with them and they will better understand your absences.

-If your mother did not work, do not strictly follow the maternal role that you had. Learn that she and you are different and you don’t have to lead a life parallel to hers. They are different times.

-Find a balance within yourself to balance the different roles in your life.
