Life, the Obstacle Course

Spending the Time with Your Child, with the Same Amount of Focus You Put into Your Jobs

If you put the same amount of work efficiency into interacting with your children, then, you all benefit, the thoughts of a mother, translated…

There’s, the goals to achieve set up by our superiors at work, and, we’d gone through the evaluations regularly, to see if, we’d, achieved these goals; and for the sake of life, we’d always, given it our all. Then, how about, in the family?

I read an article from “Parent-Child Time” online, “The Must-Do for Moms No Matter How Busy Working Moms Get with their young at night, I’d entered into the webpage, and, the thing to do is getting in bed with your own child, talk about the events of the day; this parent-child conversation time, would not only get the kids to feel the love toward their moms, but it will also help develop a positive attitude, to raise their level of self-respect too.

But, honestly, as the working ladies finish their days of work, by the time we get home, we’re, already too wiped out, even as our children came toward us with that book, I’d always replied, “Mommy’s too tired, read it on your own!” “Can you play by yourself?” or, “I’ll put on Tiger Island for you to watch.” And, as my son’s bedtime comes, I just wished he could fall asleep faster, to not bug me, so I can, finish picking up the slacks in the house. Conversations before bedtime, I don’t think I’d done it with him once this whole month.

It seemed, that I’d, owed my son; it seemed, that I’d, loved my job more than my young. As I thought, if I want to be a good mom, can I turn my management mode at work to the home, for instance, have two nights of bedtime conversations with my child out of the week, to play his toys with him at least once, read him stories one night, giving myself precise goals I need to achieve, and slowly, change the ways, to up my level of companionship to my own young. I want to work hard, not just for my son, but for myself too!

And so, by the time we get home, we’re, already, too beat, and, our work still isn’t done, we need to tidy up the house, pick up the slack of the chores during the daytime, and, while we’re, busying ourselves about the house, we’d, neglected what is the most important thing in our lives, our children, and they suffer for it!
