Being a stay at home parent can be very challenging.Whether or not you also have a side business, being the primary caregiver for your children is no joke!
From the moment you… or should I say your child… wakes up, it is go, go, go! There always seems to be an endless list of things to be done; laundry, dishes, sweeping, cleaning the walls, scrubbing the bathtub, grocery shopping, cooking 27 wholesome meals and a day, it just never seems to end. In addition to the chores, we want to give as much attention as we can to our little ones, who are only small for such a short period of time. On top of all of that, there are a bunch of events for your child; swimming lessons, mommy and me gymnastics, story and song time at the library, park play dates and so on. How in the world do you balance all of this, plus still have time for your partner (if you have one), not to mention time for yourself as a stay at home parent!? These tips might help you get some ideas!
The funny thing about kids is, we can plan and schedule and organize as much as we want. But, all of that can just fly right out the window at any given moment! It’s important not to hold yourself to such a high standard, thinking everything must be perfect all of the time just because you’re a stay at home parent. News flash: those supermoms you see on social media have their ‘moments’ as well, it’s not always sunshine and rainbows.
Having some sort of an outline for how you’d like the day to look can be helpful. However, allow yourself to scratch all of that and lay on the floor playing with your kids all day, throwing a quick pot of pasta on as a last minute dinner. Give yourself grace, you’re doing a great job as a stay at home parent. Emily Payan My name is Emily and I live with my amazing husband and beautiful one-year-old daughter in Northern California.
