The Labyrinth Of Career And Family

In the traditional family mode, when father returned home at half past five in the afternoon, the mother had prepared supper, and the children skipped to the table to prepare for the meal.

Today, my mother may be away on business. My father does not go home until seven o'clock in the evening, while the children are doing sports or studying music.

So the reality you face is that after abandoning the traditional family and working mode, you must stop looking for a common way to solve family and work relationships.

There will never be any standard answer from now on.

There is no shortcut to balance the relationship between children and their careers.

So you must give up this idea.

You must be willing to work out a solution to a specific situation at a specific time.

If mom went out and Dad took the children to fast food, was the family a bit messy? Maybe not.

It is clear that there are different standards of family and work relationships.

Today's professional parents are always looking forward to finding a way to balance between their two important tasks, their children and their careers.

However, they must dispel the resulting guilt.

Sometimes guilt has a positive effect, which can predict that something has broken you.

Balance with life.

If you do not sleep for a long time or feel tired, or hard to concentrate on your work, it is wise to reflect on whether you are trying to do too many things in too many fields.

If guilt comes from reality and expectation does not match, it will not help at all.

The question that lingers in the minds of career parents is, "can I have family and career success at the same time?" the real answer is that you may be brilliant, but you can't get such a success overnight.

To become a successful career parent, we must learn to be self restrained and long - term.

Learning to say "no" resolutely is an important issue that most people have to solve.

You may not want to read a master of Business Administration degree when you haven't learned to take care of yourself.

Be sure

The only way to test is to have a long look to see what is the most important thing in the last five years.

In the long term of five years, most of the crises do not seem so serious.

Here are some examples of different ways of dealing with family and career problems.

A female lawyer, a senior partner in her company, married an emergency room technician.

Since she got married later, she wanted children very much, but she was not sure how to cope with the increasing legal burden and the burden of raising children.

Although her husband's work does not seem to be a big undertaking for others, he likes his career better than his love for his career.

She knows very well that she loves intelligence challenges from her job, but she doesn't like the interpersonal relationship and long business trip in her company.

Therefore, the couple finally decided that their husband would retain their jobs while his wife resigned from the company's partnership, but remained in the company to guide young lawyers.

Another manager, a partner in a leading accounting firm, married a teacher.

She is very ambitious and knows that she is excellent in professional and business development. Yu Shizhi is becoming an executive partner.

Her husband didn't earn enough money and had no strong desire for success, so he decided to become a family man.

Nevertheless, the problem is still not resolved.

She pursues her career intensely, with a full schedule, evening meetings and business trips, and she also works outside the corporate community to facilitate the company's business.

But she was not happy, and her marriage began to be a bit tense.

As a result, she works on her own work arrangements and activities outside the community, focusing on professional aspects of her work and cutting down other activities.

She vowed to return home at 5:30 p.m. and learn to say "no" to friends and public welfare activities.

Her husband remained at home.

Another case is that both husband and wife are masters of business administration. They are excellent students in their business schools, and both have an excellent job.

They all wanted children very much. After some deep thought, they decided to give up work and stay at home.

Finally, they decided that their husband should concentrate on his career, while their wife stayed at home for ten years, and put their careers aside to raise their children.

These examples all emphasize that we should go out.

The maze of relationships with families varies from person to person.

If you remember the following things, you will:

Clarify your priorities in bringing up your children and work.

Allow yourself to experiment and get professional guidance and find solutions that suit your unique needs.

I encourage myself to become a pioneer of professional parents to get out of the maze of career and family relationships.
