I have to say from a child perspective as I was a child of a single working mother (not that you are this) but she worked a lot and had to balance all us kids and I always looked up to her and thought I hope I can work as hard as she can and be as good of a mother as she is to us. That always stuck with me that she was amazing not that she couldn't always be with us hours of the day. I hope that helps make you feel better that you are showing her amazing things of life about what it takes to work hard and take care of a family. :) Apologies for the late commenting the hand over of Share With Me to Mummy Fever and the busy half term has me a little behind but never forgetting your amazing support and thanking you for linking up. I hope you will link up again tomorrow for another great round of Share With Me over with Charlotte and keep Share With Me blog hop going long after my hosting. #sharewithmeLet's Talk Mommyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07730374182778773358noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2248244475983506646.post-59685802203777354592016-05-30T12:44:59.104+01:002016-05-30T12:44:59.104+01:00Awww I bet it was so tough to go to work when Isab...Awww I bet it was so tough to go to work when Isabella was sick. I don't think there is such a thing as a life / blog balance. It's a constant struggle to keep everything going at once. You are doing a fab job!

The lack of time for me is what I find the hardest, and the constant planning. If one night I just cant be bothered to make the lunches for the next day, it means the next morning starts with a total panic.

I went back with slightly reduced hours but with a 2 hour round commute. Now though I do full time but 10 mins away from home. My OH works 7 days a week so I pretty much do everything else although we don't do evening meals because OH eats his at the farm, I do mine at lunchtimes and N at afterschool club. So that gives us a bit extra time in the evening with N #sharewithmeEmmaThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00273958012836742960noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2248244475983506646.post-64716248371242757512016-05-26T22:11:41.355+01:002016-05-26T22:11:41.355+01:00Oh gosh I can totally relate to this.

After my first baby I returned to work when she was 5.5 months full time so everyday was like that. she was the first to arrive at nursery and the last to leave and for five days a week I just got her dressed, undressed, bathed her, read a story and put her to bed. After my second child I went back to work full time when he was 8 months and It was the same as above but with two children. After 18 months i couldn't do it anymore and I started my own business which was super hard but at least I could re-jiggle my day and spend more time with the children. Five years after my second child i had a another and then 15 months after him I had my forth and last child. Now I juggle work, school, playgroup, the house and spending time with the children (oh and after school activities) and I have no 'free' time but that's just how things are. For me it is still a struggle, just a different kind of struggle but my children are much happier with this situation than they were before so that's good enough for me.<br /><br />Thanks for linking up to #sharewithme and hope to see you again next weekCharlottehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04995973297459181427noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2248244475983506646.post-15362219552582372862016-05-25T15:08:41.948+01:002016-05-25T15:08:41.948+01:00I work, but only part time.

I'm not naturally the most organised person so I really need to stay on top of it! x #sharewithmeJessica Powellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17600892373826080305noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2248244475983506646.post-15637359835416059662016-05-25T11:00:18.542+01:002016-05-25T11:00:18.542+01:00I take my hat off to woking parents!

I used to...oh I remember those days all too well... I used to feel awful for putting the girls into a 'summer school/camp' thingy, for the 6 weeks holidays, and not being able to join their friends and the other parents who didn't work for days out etc.. that used to kill me! but, the girls loved the time there and they always did loads of activities and days out with the camp, so they were quite unfazed really. It was my own guilt that consumed me. its tough huh?! #bloggerclubUKAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16274499613835094708noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2248244475983506646.post-13211258467272241632016-05-25T07:51:16.471+01:002016-05-25T07:51:16.471+01:00I can totally relate. I work three days a week now...I can totally relate. I work three days a week now too and I have zero time for myself - some days I'm so knackered I go to bed when Jenson does and don't have time for blog updates. When I get home from work I have some time with Jenson while his dad cooks tea but it's me that gets him ready for bed and, once he's settled, tidy all the toys away, tidy the kitchen up and catch up on laundry. Must admit I resent it a bit as I used to do it all before I went back to work, as the stay at home parent, and now I still end up doing it even though I'm working. But that's another story!
