"It is really Hard to be a Working Mother and a Housewife at the same Time"

Hello iyah10, How I wish my husband will think like you! I am a working mother too and sometimes, it is just not easy. My daily schedule starts right after I open my eyes at 5.30 in the morning and it will only end when my son and husband go to sleep. Sometimes I can't even sleep because I feel too tired and sometimes, I just can't lift my eyes at all. Life is not easy as a working mother and even if I decided to be a full time mother, I don't think it is easy too!

it is hard and challenging. but one woman needs the support of partner and family. also in this case the household cores can be shared by husband so taht she don't have to do all alone.

I was a working mother too, yes it is very hard but you have to do what you have to do for whatever is right for your family

It's definitely really difficult to be a working mother and a housewife at the same time. You don't want to neglect either responsibilities. The key to balance it is to have a proper time management. When you are at work, you have to fully concentrate on your job. When you are at home, give full attention to your family especially your kids. Don't bring work from office to home.

Hi, as of now i am a fulltime mother to my 10 months old son. Of course being a mum and career woman at the same time is very difficult, you going to work for a living and then doing household chores and then spend time with your family and kids. So im not sure how i handle and manage my time when i get work oneday. Happy posting.

hi iyah! it is really hard to work and at the same time take care of the house. I am a working mom and a wife. I work monday - friday. so weekends is for cleaning the house, laundry, bonding with my baby. on weekdays, i will wake up extra early in the morning to cook breakfast, our lunch usually until dinner. i will prepare snack for my son before we bring him to my mother-in-law's house(she takes care of him while we are in the office). and when we get home, we will eat, do some simple cleaning, and have a little chat/play with my son. its hard and tiring, sometimes i lack sleep but i love it anyway, i can help provide for the family and my son understand it. my husband helps me sometimes especially if he have his day off. take care

I think it involves a lot of planning and helpful from your partner. You have to plan your time carefully. Have a schedule which enables you to maximise your time. The husband or partner should give a helping hand in house chores too and in other things that a housewife requires to do. © ronaldinu 2008

I know that it is really difficult to be a wife,mother and a working lady.I am not yet a mother or a wife but I can see and understand the difficulties most women face difficulties when it comes to home management and career. My mom, she is a working lady.I had seen her going through lot of difficulties when we were still young and in school.Of course, my dad used to helped her lot both in household chores and supported her always.Although it was really difficult for her to managed between home and work, she did her duty as a mother and wife very well and maintain a good balance between the two.Many told her to leave her job and become stay at home mom but she didn't.She wanted a better future for us(kids).She is one brave lady just like your wife.No fear to face ups and downs in life.

Hi ya iyah10 It is really hard to be a working mother and housewife. I am lucky in one way that I am a stay at home mum and can clean my house and be there for my kids when they come home from school. As you know I am a single mum and at present can not go out to work but will as soon as my youngest is at school. I admire women who hold down a job and look after the home and family but then it is important for the rest of the family to offer the support and help her to do certain jobs.

I am a full time mom to my three kids and I can just imagine how hard it is for your wife. I h=don't work and still I find it hard to manage my chores here, it feels like I am always on rush and always the need to finish things. Well I guess you can help your wife by lending her a hand, may it be in cooking or cleaning the house or minding your daughter, or even on a simple task as flushing the toilet (which a lot of man don't and which makes an irritated wife turns into a hulk!)

it is hard. i earn some money and doing my chores too at the same time. i often found my self tired and don't have enough sleep. my anger often just blow and the children will see me as a monster. it is sad, but that is life. we have to make it.

as she also do job like u, u should also share in household works,buying groceries and looking ur kid or kids work .ur wife will be lucky,when u do all these things for her. give her a free time in evenings ,sometimes. i am housewife only,and i want to see my kids full time.

of course, how could a mother can do that, that's should be so hard. when the mother must watch his son and daughter together with concentration to work. but it maybe can if his son or daughter is was old. i hope she has a husband to work and she can take care her child.

hi iyah10 :) i am a fulltime hsewife and a mom for my 2Y tod. in my opinion, being a mom/dad is no easy task. be it a fulltime hsewife like me or working mom.. there's pros and cons.. like my family, we're trying to provide best we could and survive with one source of income. it's hard nowadays. i think most of us knew that right? being a working mom like ur wife, i am sure she'll appreciate a little help from you... eventho u think that helping ur wife with taking care of ur kids doesnt help her much, but trust me, it's help a lot... like me, eventho i am a fulltime mom, i always appreciate if my hubby holds and plays with my kid while i am finishing my house chores.. :)

Being a mother is hard work..period. Doesn't matter if you work outside the home or only at home. Why don't you help her with some chores or atleast take care of your daughter to lessen the burdan?

Of course it's really hard. And it is even harder when the mother works fulltime and has no help at home. When I woman has to juggle being a mother, a housekeeper and a career woman all at the same time, it becomes a hard job for her to have enough hours in the day. Many times she forgets to take time for herself, which is just as important as all the other things that she has to do with her time each day. It is important that those around her remember that she had many hats that she wears and that she works hard at all the jobs that she has and needs time to have fun away from all those jobs.

I'am not a full time mother,it real makes me feel regret to my daughter. But I think it's necessary for a mother to have something to do, as a fulltime mother makes someone lose a lot. A woman is able-minded for her family.But a considerate lover is enviable.

yes i agree its not easy being a wife and a mother.sometimes we forgot ourself just to taking care of the family.

I am a full time mother to my 3 kids. I am not sure how I do what I do. I am looking for a job and it has been discussed that my husband will have to help out more around the house and give up some of the things he does. It is not easy. I have full days and I am a student as well. At the same time, I love being able to be home with my children and make what little money I can online.

hieveryone, i'm new to mylot but this topic really touched me. I keep a full tieme job and am a mother to four children all below the age of i 8, my husband has to commute to work everyday and leaves pretty early returns pretty late. he tries to help but sometimes it still doesn't feel enough. i am priveledge to have a house keeper but as soon as i walk in she walks out dont really have any down time for myself. it tiresome but rewarding at the same time. my family makes my day everyday
