Work and Family Priorities

Hello there but I don't know how to react for my work is my family. you see my friend I am a home maker and my life involves mainly with meeting my family's need. I can say that his is really my priority. To make a sense out of your discussion, my hubby is a very workaholic person, sometimes, no, most of the times he bring home loads of work. I understand him for bringing work at home because he wants to be with us amidst working. His work is very demanding and I really appreciate it that he makes effort to be with us even though he is working. ANd when he knew he had worked hard for the past few days, he would take some time off and leave for work and just be with us, cuddling. Just last week, he was on leave for 2 weeks.

Well, it is very profound! I learn something! However, I can't help myself sometimes. I have a dream. My dream is more important than everything else so far. I will dream on and on till the end of the time, leaving a wishful pictures on my mind. I won't give up no matter what happens until all my dreams come into flowers. I know it is hard! I know I will sacrifice something! But I guess this is what I want! Have a great day!

The best times of our lives have been when we were self-employed... there was time for everything because we used our home as base. We also took our kids with us on pick-ups whenever possible... it was an adventure for them (if they missed school, they wrote journal entries to turn in), and it saved the cost of day-care for us, plus we had the togetherness of sit-down meals, even if they were in restaurants. It was very good for all of us... now that the kids are grown, we are very close, and that will never change.

I agree with you Pose and it is so sad that many families have to juggle such hectic schedules in order to survive,pay the bills and keep the roofs above their heads.We have all done it at one time or another,we have balanced our home life with our working life,things that should have come first,been prioritised have been put on the back burner.That is sad but that is life.It is only when you have some time to stand and smell the lilies that you realise how very important your family are to you,they are the ones that will offer unconditional love,and support when you are in need of it,and they are the ones who will usually always be there for you.I appreciate that trying to find time to fulfill a busy career plus keeping the homes fires burning is a very hard task.
