So I have been extremely overwhelmed lately trying to balance a full-time job, taking care of the kids, blogging and working on my own businesses. It’s been really hard going into the office lately, and my daughter isn’t making it any easier. Last night when I was putting her to bed she turned to me and said, “Mommy I never see you.”
It broke my heart. Am I working too much? How do I explain to a three year old that the only reason I am working so hard is so that I can be home more often in the future. My goal is to have my business running successfully before she goes to school.
So I would work while she’s in school and then be able to spend the rest of the time with her and her little brother. That is the goal. But I don’t think she understands that. Kids live in the now, they don’t really see the future, and they remember the past.
Today, I am going to try and rearrange my schedule and stretch out my to list so I’m doing one or two tasks a night, instead of trying to cram so much in my brain wants to explode.
Awww, I’m sure your heart is breaking right now after hearing her say that. And you’re right that there’s no perfect way to explain it to her because she’s too young to understand. It’ll all pay off in the end but I’m sure it’s hard to muster through it right now. Hang in there!
