The much anticipated first half term of the year is here! How have you all coped on day 1? Are you having to juggle parenting and working?
We know how you feel:
That typical parent guilt of needing to work to provide and set a work ethic for those impressionable minds and the guilt when your child/ren are sitting asking what's planned for the week ahead because their friends are doing this and that..
With a little forward planning and networking (yes what you use in your day job) it need not be stressful!
Sometimes a cinema trip can be just as exciting as a day out to the local park - The cinema usually can give you the opportunity to catch up on emails… however, it is harder than you think it is to not type POO when you hear the 5-year old next to you loudly announce that she needs to go for one when you're replying to a client or candidate!
Parenting and working can be very stressful but if you're honest with those little ones they tend to understand better then saying nothing at all - although isn't it the way when you're on an important call they decide to argue with their siblings even after you've asked them to be quiet while you take that call for 5minutes.. because up until then they've been quietly playing but the moment you draw attention to needing some quiet the chaos erupts.
It's only for 1 week remember... we're on the dreaded 6 week countdown!
Reach out today so we can help with your job hunt. We may not be able to help with the parenting stresses BUT we can help with that.
So as working parents we are with you trying to stay as strong as you!
We look forward to speaking to you this week.
