For the Working Parents During the Holidays

Q: Why do seagulls fly ovet the sea?

A: If they flew over the bay, they would be bagels

……………………

If I made you now want a bagel then I am sorry

But it’s ok

You can go get one

Our sitters family have covid so we have had no child care this week. So between my wife and I we have been juggling camps, childcare, gymnastics, swimming and work.

During these times in the past I have often really struggled. I try to do a great job at home and a great job with the kids and invariably I end the day feeling tired, sad, and that I have done an at best average job of both.

Doing average in everything doesn’t make me feel great!

So this weeks post is short, sweet and to the point… kind of like my wife 🙂

Parenting is hard

Working any job is hard

Being a working parent is extremely hard

If you are struggling to balance work, life and your kids schedules and care during these summer holidays then know that you are doing a better job than you think, and I am sure you are still making fun memories that your kids will cherish.

Give yourself a break both mentally and physically.

And know that you are not alone with the struggle!

Hang on in there… they will be back to school soon!

Cheering you on as always

Dan
