Parenting and Earning with Limited Time

Is hard, builds frustration, and triggers anger

By Seema PatelPublished about a year ago • 1 min read

Anger is bad.

Avoid it, they say.

Easy to advise —

hard not to fall prey.

You need money to raise children.

You need work to earn that money.

Work needs time.

Children need time too.

It’s a sticky situation.

There’s no easy solution.

The pressure builds up.

Anger becomes the outlet.

It’s sad how modern parents

have no one to help them

in such a critical task.

Earning may be easy for some —

but not when you

try to do it ethically,

like writing or caregiving.

I wonder,

how do others juggle

parenting and earning

without falling apart?

Note: share your view if you could relate to my feelings.
