Are you able to balance out Work and Family?

It is not only for a man to balance this work and family thing. Nowadays, woman also contribute to provide financial needs for the family. As for me, being a wife and a mother of two kids is really hard. I worked 8-5 job 5 times a week and that means spending less time with my kids. I just make it a point that I will now extend my working hours beyond that and as much as possible, spend the weekends with them to attend to their needs personally on those two days. It is such a joy to see them growing and missed those times that I am now with them. But I need to do this for their welfare as well. Me and my husband need to save for their future and to provide their day to day needs.

I must admit that it is difficult to balance between work and family. first,everyone has to work hard to get enough money to keep his or her family running normally.This will cost you too much time a day,which make you have less time to join family life. It is really a dilemma we face. Now I am working in a city far from my home and only have two or three times to went back home, which made it difficult to balance between work and family.

Balancing time for friends and family with also work can be difficult. I remember a few years ago when I was working for a group of hotels, I was having a hard time spending time with friends and family because of the fact that I worked so much. My husband told me to quit the job as he could see it was affecting my health. I did quit the job and it feed up my time to spend with him. Of course money was a bit of an issue but we worked through that. In any case, I am trying to find the best way to balance my time to just earn online but I find I get sleepy at night when I could be earning online. I am also trying to find a job and when I do I am going to also try to still mylot so as to save for my husband and I and our future. I would like to be able to save enough so that we could live comfortably if the economy strikes and one or both of us were to lose our jobs. I knock on wood that that does not happen though.

time management matters here... but it is good to know that your family always support you and understand you even though you have a less time for them... thanks

Work and family are inseparable. We value tremendously the principle that NO success can compensate for failure in the home. If you are to succeed at work, you must bring your family up with you. After all, your family is the reason you are working so hard. Your success is of no consequence if the family is divided. On the other hand, you cannot have a happy family if you do not have the provisions for a happy decent living. Let us remember that work is just a means towards an end. True fulfillment is when your achievements are shared with and by those whom you love and who love you.

I'm not married or anything, so I wouldn't know how to answer this question from that point of view. But from the point of view of a working person who still has time with her parents and siblings AND boyfriend... I'm doing pretty well. It's all about time management and constant communication. The internet and cellphones are great tools. Little surprises here and there don't hurt too.

As far as i know, balancing work and family is hard but i don't have any children yet so i'm not that sure about it. If i learned a thing or two about time management, that is prioritize what's the most important. You can ask yourself, "why am i working?" I'm pretty sure the answer is "to support my family". Then ask yourself "why should i spend time with my family?" I'm sure the answer is "to have a quality time with them and to have a stronger bond with them". With those questions, you can immediately weigh the consequences of the decision you'll be making. If you pour more time on work, your bond with your family will grow thinner eventually. If you spend time with your family more, you can get fired eventually. Both situation has its own grave consequences and it's up to you to make your move. You don't have to choose one though so that's a relief. Balancing time can be hard but it'll be easier if you know how deep your actions go.

My husband and I are working 8 hours a day or more when needed and required in the office. But I see to it that I personally prepare for my family food, clothes, etc. My phasing is this the moment I step out of the office I am a plain housewife and a mother. As simple as all concerns about the work if will not incur harm or damage to the company will be taken care of the next working day. With that I can spend quality time with my family.

My husband and I are working 8 hours a day and sometimes more than if needed. As a working mom I make it to the point that I personally prepare all the needs of my family from food, clothes,etc. My phasing is this the moment I step out of the office I am a plain housewife and a mother. Simply means any calls or concerns regarding my work will be taken care off the following day and not after office hours.

As far as I know, it is a difficult thing to do well in our society. Everyone want to balance out work and family, because both of them are very important to everybody. But few of people done well in their life. Some people put work as a first place, while some other people put family as a first. Work hard just want to get more money to support the family, while taking care of family just want to show their's love.I think both those people aren't wrong,but we also need to balance out work and family.Because only in this way can we have a stabilize family and a good mood to work.
