I am always so amazed at what we parents can do.........then we have the sole working parents....WOW ! The universal commen delima they (we) all seem to have is.........WHY CANT WE DO IT ALL ????? you know what, straight after that phrase are the feelings of guilt and frustration at
either neglecting kids functions,not spending enough time with them or hubby(if we have one)or looking at how much of a disaster zone the home is.......We are the hubb of our family and if we break they fall apart(well mine would)LOL I think parents should take a deep breath find a happy place and re-evaluate their life.We did actually by force, and truthfully we are financially destitute and I flit between manic panic and euphoria HEH HEH HEH.I am contemplating going back to work,I have worked all my life,but I am reluctant to put Breanna in day-care!!!!
My last job I was boss and had Breanna with me all day(worked well) I still had ALL the same ole worries except I also had to home tutor one, work at my job and run our home too....See super Mum syndrome(super parent)I have as a result come to a screetching halt.....health wise and mentally I have had a melt down......for the first time in 25 years of doing it all (trying) I have no controll of myself and it is scary,you see now I have to lean on my hubby and this is odd to put it mildly,our well oiled machine(me)has lost it's oil.....now our family has been free wheeling out of kilter.My message to all parents is slow down and smell the roses,it sounds good I know,but truthfully it can be done.Priority is a marvellous word,often we lose focus on whats really a priority.
I came from old money,ran away from home,got disinherited and have spent the rest of my life trying to get me and my families back up to those standards.......what a waste of effort

After my latest rude awakening I have learnt finally what is important to us...of course things are different for each family.The trick is that word again PRIORITY and his friend BALANCE.
My heart goes out to the sole parents who I believe have it a lot tougher as if they melt down they do not have a partner as a backstop

This is why priority and balance may be even more important in their situation.You know the old saying all work and no play makes Jill a dull girl.....Please all you super parents out there be kind to yourselves and in turn you are kind to your families.Take time out even 10 minutes to do or think for your own self.It is so important to give time to yourself,you give give give to every-one and everything else,have your turn with you!!!
I don't know about you but I don't want my Epitah to read HERE LIES SUPERWOMAN

On that note I better go and chop the wood,wash the car,darn the socks,drop the engine out of the car and scrub the house(just kidding)TEE -HEE TEE-HEE I am really going to go and surf minti bye regards Merle
