Seriously, whoever made up that term didn’t know what it was like to be a single parent of three kids (with no child support to speak of--financial or moral), working full time, going to school part time and trying to advance your career, a goal that could help you make more money to support your kids. The whole “balance doctrine” is a lie. Sorry, there is no such thing as balance, there is such a thing as prioritizing and organizing your time and responsibilities, this will help you meet the demands of each day with a little less stress and chaos.
But the reality is that sometimes you won’t make it to your child's basketball game, you will miss a deadline at work and you won’t have time to call your mother. Try not to feel guilty, it’s about harnessing the strength within you to tackle the challenges each day brings, but you better forget about successfully juggling it all, if you don’t plan. So my advice is…plan, prioritize and get a support system going (neighbors, babysitters, mothers, sisters, and friends).
