If you are a mom who has finally taken up your job back from where you left during pregnancy, then we know the amount of guilt you always feel! Though there’s nothing wrong in picking up the threads of your career after motherhood, but you feel guilty every moment you stay away you’re your baby – and you cannot help it. No matter how much time you’d be spending with your baby during the weekend and how much extra work you’d be managing during the break time, you’ll always be stressed about an imprecise balance between your work life and mom life!

Believe us when we say parenting isn’t easy! Not for a mom who’s working hard and still managing to come back to her little one with a wide smile on her face. There’s so much hidden under those calm composure and wide-spread grin -- and yes, we understand them all. If you aren't able to manage these two essential sections of your life properly, then you are stressing a lot -- which isn’t good for your health and happiness.

Best ways to manage mommying and working perfectly!

Being a mother brings lots of responsibilities to you with that baby of yours! And work is an essential part of your life – it is part of who you are as an individual. And you are left constantly juggling between the two -- and everyone expects (and you too!) that you’d play the balancing game perfectly! So, we have got these easy-peasy tips for all you moms who’d love to work and are keen to shoulder the parenting responsibilities too.

Prioritise location — The best way to keep an eye on both your work and child properly is being there on time for both of them! If you have an option, try wasting less time commuting to your workplace. Try living in a nearby neighbourhood. The time that you’d save travelling would actually feel like a gift to you. It would even spare the tiredness that you feel while travelling.

Opt for a child care centre — Though you are the mighty mom, but you aren’t omnipresent and hence you can’t be at both the places together. So, you need to choose a centre for childcare in Glen Eden, Magical Years provide the utmost care and nurturing for your child at the centre in a healthy and comfortable atmosphere. This would keep you relieved and worry-free that your child is safe and in the best hands when you are busy at work.

Draw your boundaries— It’s very important to set your rules right and draw the boundaries in order to be on time at home for your little one. Be organised at work, so that you can be home on time. Make sure to finish all your daily and pending tasks within the stipulated time period.

Use your rights — As a working mom, you are entitled to certain priorities and rights in any city around the world. You are granted certain off hours or leave when your baby is ill. You can even take a day off each week and work from home according to some company’s rules. Stay aware of all these rights and make sure to take full advantage of these as a parent.

There’s a reason why moms are considered as the most special persons on Earth. But relax and breathe easy. You don’t need to be a super mom. Your child needs to nurture in an environment that teaches that mom is another human being too, albeit a special one. And household responsibilities are not yours alone – even childcare! Your child needs to look up to a strong independent woman – set an example for your baby to teach how every sphere of life should get priority.
