Juggling career and motherhood
How to find balance as a working mom both at home and on the job
by: Sydney Loney
Working moms
- In 2006, 51% of women returned to work within four months of giving birth to their first child, according to the US Census Bureau.
- Research by the Canadian Council on Social Development found that working mothers experience high levels of stress and work/family conflict as they try to balance the demands of work and family.
- Getting a little extra childcare, trading off with other moms or having the drug store deliver are just a few ways you can get things done and free up a little time for you and your family.
- Reduce your stress level by lowering your expectations and being realistic about what you can accomplish in a day.
- Take time to appreciate all the little things that can get lost in a busy schedule and make the most of time spent with your family.
ome women start worrying about whether to return to work well before their babies are born–and many find they change their minds several times before eventually making a decision. "Sometimes you just don't know how you're going to feel until after your baby is born," says Dr. Marjorie Greenfield, author of The Working Woman's Pregnancy Book. If you do make the decision to go back, whether part- or full-time, you're then faced with the often daunting task of juggling the demands of home, family and career.
