A: It’s so much easier now that my boys are older. I’ve worked super hard to teach my kids to cook, clean, do laundry, and advocate for themselves. After all, I’m trying to raise adults…not children who look like adults! Even though they pretty much take care of themselves, we regroup at dinner when their work schedules allow. And, when we’re really lucky we take hikes together.
My husband is a huge help in my ability to integrate work and life. He is truly my teammate and picks up slack when I’m busy, like during Christmas season, or at the beginning of the school year. I could never juggle it all without him.
