Effexor Xr 150mg - FDA Approved Pharmacy

I can totally relate to that last sentence. I often find myself with this tension. I get home from teaching college students all day and my own kids get what is left over - often not much. Then I wonder if in the bigger picture I’m doing more harm than good, neglecting my own who may then go on to be hard work for their teachers. Or is it selfish to put mine first? Thoughts?

I reckon balance is never static… but structural things tend towards static. needs of family, self etc are always changing yet we are required to lock ourselves into work commitments, and other commitments too…
i have always enjoyed the variety of both working and looking after kids, and have rejigged that balance as seemed appropriate or neccessary. But there is always more that could be done, and “no” is hard.
Is it selfish to put your kids first? no way! is it important to work towards a personal sense of sanity? yes!
(it is a long way from “left over” to “neglect”.)
random, rapid thoughts before the computer goes off and i have a nice cup of tea happy to continue to talk tho!

Thanks for that Lynne - random, rapid thought appreciated! I agree the balancing act of work and parenting and time for self and others is an ongoing balancing act. I recall once being challenged to produce a poster where you had to draw circles for things like exercise, work, hobbies, children, God etc and although some circles overlapped or completley encircled others you had to draw the circles of sizes relative to their importance to you. You then had to repeat the diagram with circles sized by the relative time you put into each. It made you think about whether you really put your money where your mouth is so to speak. Its so easy for things to get out of balance, or out of step with your values. -sorry to say that in such a long winded way! Gotta go put the kids to bed : ).
