Both responsibilities carry many expectations and duties with them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Perhaps you\u2019re in this situation. You\u2019re exhausted trying to juggle work and mothering. Here are some ways you can try to decrease your stress and find a better balance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Simplify<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You may be tired of hearing the phrase \u201cjust simplify\u201d. If it were that easy to reduce work commitments or not put your children into activities, you\u2019d probably have already done it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But there are countless ways to simplify, and countless things that can be simplified.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Online Shopping, Curbside, and Carry Out<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You might already do this, but you\u2019d be surprised at how many working moms are not. Take full advantage of all online shopping options, including curbside grocery pickup and carry out at restaurants. Better yet, use delivery services when they\u2019re available.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Children\u2019s Needs<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can make your life simpler by streamlining some of your children\u2019s needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Consider only buying one color of socks, for example. You\u2019ll spend less time looking for matching pairs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Stock up on healthy snacks and lunch box options so you can throw everything in the lunchbox without stressing about whether they\u2019ll eat last night\u2019s leftovers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Also consider tackling children\u2019s activities with a buddy. Perhaps you can tag team karate practice carpool with another family. Sign your children up for the same activities to lessen the amount of time you need to spend playing taxi driver.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Commitments<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image is-style-default\"><figure class=\"alignright size-large\"><img data-srcset=\"https:\/\/psychotherapyandcounselingservices.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Carry-out-food.jpg 500w, https:\/\/psychotherapyandcounselingservices.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Carry-out-food-300x188.jpg 300w, https:\/\/psychotherapyandcounselingservices.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Carry-out-food-16x10.jpg 16w\" decoding=\"async\"   data-src=\"https:\/\/psychotherapyandcounselingservices.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Carry-out-food.jpg\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2998 lazyload\"  sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"500\" height=\"314\" src=\"https:\/\/psychotherapyandcounselingservices.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Carry-out-food.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2998\" srcset=\"https:\/\/psychotherapyandcounselingservices.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Carry-out-food.jpg 500w, https:\/\/psychotherapyandcounselingservices.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Carry-out-food-300x188.jpg 300w, https:\/\/psychotherapyandcounselingservices.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Carry-out-food-16x10.jpg 16w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/noscript><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Many working moms experience guilt because they can\u2019t be a room mom at school, make the best cake for the bake sale, or be at dance lessons every night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There are a number of ways to approach this. Of course, it\u2019s important to remember that you\u2019re setting an example of persistence and independence to your daughters and sons by being a working mom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Likewise, you can decide to cut back on what your children are involved in. A few decades ago, children were nowhere near as scheduled and over-committed as they are now, and the world still moved forward. The reduction in stress that you and your kids both feel when less busy may be well worth giving this a try.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Be Present<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As fed up as you might be with your children\u2019s penchant for screen time and video games, chances are they feel ignored and left out when you check your devices at home. Children want your attention.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image is-style-default\"><figure class=\"alignleft size-large\"><img data-srcset=\"https:\/\/psychotherapyandcounselingservices.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Present-Mom-.jpg 500w, https:\/\/psychotherapyandcounselingservices.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Present-Mom--300x221.jpg 300w, https:\/\/psychotherapyandcounselingservices.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Present-Mom--16x12.jpg 16w\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"   data-src=\"https:\/\/psychotherapyandcounselingservices.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Present-Mom-.jpg\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2999 lazyload\"  sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"500\" height=\"368\" src=\"https:\/\/psychotherapyandcounselingservices.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Present-Mom-.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2999\" srcset=\"https:\/\/psychotherapyandcounselingservices.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Present-Mom-.jpg 500w, https:\/\/psychotherapyandcounselingservices.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Present-Mom--300x221.jpg 300w, https:\/\/psychotherapyandcounselingservices.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Present-Mom--16x12.jpg 16w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/noscript><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Put your smart phone way out of the way when you\u2019re with your kids. Focus on them, not on work texts and emails. The attention you give them will help all of you feel closer to each other and get you through those days when you\u2019re working late.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Teamwork Makes the Dream Work<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">No mom can do it all on her own. Unfortunately, the bulk of housework and childcare still fall on the shoulders of moms, even when they\u2019re working outside the home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It\u2019s important to get your family involved in helping out. Teach kids (and your partner if needed!) how to do simple chores. Require these to be finished before screen time, for example. Or have a regular family cleaning hour, where everyone jumps in with fun music on and a reward at the end.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image is-style-default\"><figure class=\"alignright size-full\"><img data-srcset=\"https:\/\/psychotherapyandcounselingservices.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Team-Work.jpg 500w, https:\/\/psychotherapyandcounselingservices.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Team-Work-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/psychotherapyandcounselingservices.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Team-Work-16x9.jpg 16w\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"   data-src=\"https:\/\/psychotherapyandcounselingservices.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Team-Work.jpg\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3000 lazyload\"  sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"500\" height=\"282\" src=\"https:\/\/psychotherapyandcounselingservices.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Team-Work.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3000\" srcset=\"https:\/\/psychotherapyandcounselingservices.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Team-Work.jpg 500w, https:\/\/psychotherapyandcounselingservices.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Team-Work-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/psychotherapyandcounselingservices.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Team-Work-16x9.jpg 16w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/noscript><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you can afford it, hire professional help for your home, yard, and errands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">***<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you struggle under the weight of work and home, you may want to consider seeking therapy.
