How Do You Balance Work and Family Life As A Mom_

Moms who are juggling a full-time job and round-the-clock parenting know that it isn’t simple. If you’re a working mom, you’re already aware. To give your child adequate attention while still completing your workload, you might have to make some adjustments. According to The Center For American Progress, women now make up half of all the workers in the United States. Moms tend to feel guilty for working 40 hours per week, but if you can find a balance between your work and family life, your relationship with your child and your career will flourish. Here are six ways for you to start the act balancing.

Wear pants that are Mom- and work- approved

Chico’s travelers’ pants are perfect for on-the-go moms. When you’re having a busy day at work, it will be easier to transition into parenting if you don’t have to change out of uncomfortable work pants.

These comfortable pants can be worn in the workplace and at home. Travel pants are wrinkle-resistant, so you don’t need to spend extra time ironing them on a busy day. All travel pants are also quick drying—you will spend less time waiting to fold your laundry.

And the pair of pants comes with front pockets, which is ideal for carrying your child’s pacifier or tiny toys. And pens at work, of course.

The price tag is worth it, but if you find them to be out of your price range, check out the sale items on Chico’s outlet. Always check for limited-edition coupons, too. You might want to get gift cards for your mom-friends on their birthdays; they will love having a pair of the best travel pants.

Consider stroller options

Instead of dining out on your lunch break, you can balance your work and family life by going home for an hour. After you eat a quick lunch, you can get some exercise and spend time with your little ones.

Taking a brisk walk will encourage bonding and help you lose the extra baby weight. Walking is one of the healthiest forms of exercise. It’s good for the body and mind, as it reduces stress. If you have an older child, your little one’s older sibling can walk with you, too.

If you have two children close in age, you might consider buying a twin travel system. Twin strollers come with the option of toddler and infant car seats. They are available for sale on Amazon, meaning you get the perks of free shipping and express shipping. Their express delivery service guarantees you will have your stroller in less than two days. Sometimes, they even offer next day deliveries.

Don’t hesitate when you need a lawyer


COVID-19 is leaving a trail of anxiety-ridden people in its wake. Data rates are showing the number of suicides has increased. Cases of domestic violence are skyrocketing in the continental U.S. And we don’t know when this is going to stop.

If you or your children fell victim to domestic violence, you should research different family law attorneys. Family lawyers can also help with legal matters such as common family law problems, like getting child support

An experienced family law attorney will be able to help you more so than police officers. You should call 911, though, because it gives you proof and records for court.

Only an attorney from a law firm can present your case in front of the judge, in hopes of obtaining an order of protection. Domestic violence is a family law matter; your attorney should specialize in an area of family law since they will be handling your family law case.

It will be easier to care for your child when you aren’t dealing with an abusive spouse.

Let go of the guilt

Many mothers feel like they are abandoning their children when they leave for work. Not every mother has the option to work from home. You are allowed to go to work — men aren’t the only ones permitted to do so.

You should be proud of yourself for supporting your family, rather than judging yourself or feeling ashamed. It’s time to let go of the guilt, mama.

Disconnect from work when you’re home


When you’re at home, disconnect from work. Of course, if you’re on-call, this won’t apply to you. But a great way to balance work and family is devoting the time with your child and spouse when you are home.

It can be tempting to check work emails and answer work calls. With that said, if it isn’t a work emergency and you’re not on call, ignore it. Play with your child, enjoy family dinners, and read bedtime stories.

Find trustworthy childcare

You will feel at ease knowing your child is safe while you’re working. Research the best daycares or get references from babysitters—and make sure you actually call them! Once you’ve found trustworthy childcare, you can finish your work faster because you’ll spend less time worrying.

While it isn’t always simple, you are capable of balancing your work and family life. You endured nine months of pregnancy, gave birth, and recovered while caring for your newborn. If you can do all of that, you can do anything!
