Anne Sanborn December 18, 2021 Family Schedule
If you are a working woman, things are tough for you. However, you must make it clear to your children that you have a job and they will have to respect your professional requirements too. Therefore, you owe a hand in doing all the chores and family members must cooperate. Even if your work hours are flexible, give enough importance to your work schedule as well as your home schedule.
Having a problem? Schedule It! For example, do your kids tend to whine late afternoons before mealtime? Schedule "whine time" by putting in on the daily schedule, to get the whining out of their system.
Before you start the planning and scheduling process, you must make sure that all attendees, meaning the family members, have the required materials needed to stay on task. Everyone involved will need a planner or scheduler that can fit into a purse, book bag or briefcase. A planner is going to be a crucial part of keeping your family on task. Who does not like to be organized?
Sometimes Children get out of school before we get off work. We should make sure someone is there to get them after school and stay with them until we return home. If we have no one to do that then a day care for him or her is recommended. It is less stressful knowing our Children are not home along without adult supervision. If we are married, quality time is necessary. Intimacy is very important so time should be spent with our spouse without our job on our mind. It is OK to talk about how our day went but not the entire time. This is the time to relax and enjoy each other.
Our family might need our attention doing our work schedule like Doctor Visits or business affairs. In instances like this, we should request time off in advance and make sure our work is caught up so we will not be behind when we return to work. Children have after hour school activities and it is important that we attend as many of them as we can. We should ask them about their activities everyday so nothing will come upon us suddenly, that way we might be able to leave work a little early by asking someone to cover for us. They will be more willing to help us out if they know about it in advance.
Family life can be overwhelming at times, so what can you do to stay sane? Keep things simple, have a routine, and be flexible. It is pretty easy if you set some guidelines for the rhythm of your life that everyone in your family can adhere to. The end result? You will be left with more time for Mom and Dad and that is a really sweet thing.
