My wife and I are working in the same company, same shift but different job. Even if she has higher position than me, it's fine. She is doing a great job at work. After our night shift schedule, we will go straight to the mall to check out our stores and then we will go home to eat lunch with our son. She can even go to her notebook and do her again and some other business work and online paying sites. She even sleep in the afternoon and has only 5-6 hours of sleep. I don't know how she can do it and how I can ask her to relax for sometime.

I dont know if one would call me a workaholic but if one does then one thing is for sure.. its not by choice...
Usually I get up at 6, prepare lunch and breakfast, clean the house, wash clothes, Freshen up and Go to the Office with my husband. Also making him wake up every morning is a great task.
Then I return at 3 In the afternoon, and take tuitions from 3 to 8:30 pm. Then I go to the market to buy groceries and vegetables etc... then i cook food.
We then have our dinner and study for an hour or two for my MBA exam ( distance learning programme)
And finally i go to sleep at around 1 in the night...

I think there is a different kind of drive when a woman becomes a mom. I was more relazed when I was single, I work then go out with friends to have fun. But things are a lot different when you are already a mother, you know that there is someone who is depending on you to provide for his/her needs. I became a workaholic too when I had kids. My primary motivation was to be able to give the best to my boys. I try to juggle work, business, motherhood, being a wife, ministry and housework. (good thing I have someone to help me with the chores). Its really hard work, but its all worth it when I see my boys growing up healthy and happy.
