This is SO helpful. My work is definitely hybrid and flexibly like you describe yours, and my husbands is similar to how you describe your husbands so it can feel like everything falls on me. I missed a few camp sign ups this year so we have some holes in our schedule I am going to try to “wing”. Love all of your tips to manage the limited time and try to balance it. I am really going to try to spend less time in email this summer - a dream and also hard for some reason? As well as try to maybe wake up before the kids to get in a block of deep project work time.
We joined an indoor trampoline park that does a monthly membership and I’m going to try to work from their lobby maybe once a week for two hours while my kids run around and bounce. Would definitely love to see your 10 week calendar!
Definitely feel seen in this post! 3 kids all at different stages of life (toddler, kid, pre-teen), working full time from home and having a military spouse makes anytime of year (especially summer) chaotic. It can be hard to find help when you are stationed so far away from family and friends, but daycares and camps are a blessing. It makes the summer evenings and weekends that much more precious, especially when the older kiddos would rather be with their friends than parents.
Love this!! My little one is only 16 months and luckily daycare is year round but this definitely hits home for me being a #corporatemomma.
My little one is my first and I have had a hard time, at least lately, finding balance between the two! I’ve always wanted a family. I actually dreamed of a big family but I’ve also dreamed of being a career oriented momma as well and I’ve worked extremely hard to get where I am today on my career. Part of that was because I knew I wanted children and I would have to work to get into a position to where my job was flexible. My job does require me to be onsite however it’s flexible for me to also be able to work from home or anywhere. (The lovely world of Human Resources)
Let me get to the point I’m making before you know my whole life story just from my comment 🤦🏾♀️🤷🏾♀️
I find comfort in your posts because I know my little one isn’t going be little forever. I have been drowning in mom guilt lately just because as I lay in bed at night thinking over my day and all the moments I could have spent with the little however I found myself checking emails or taking a quick call. #momguilt
But then I come across your videos and see I’m not alone when it comes to being a corporate momma and that what I’m feeling is normal and I shouldn’t let it get the best of me.
As you said, my little one is going to remember more so the 20-30-45 minutes I was 1000% present with them and not the 8-10 hours I was working!
Thanks for this posts and your reels! It definitely brings me back to realization that I’m human and I just need to take a deep breath!
