In “You Stay Home, I’ll Go To Work, Part 1” we heard from SAHM’s (stay at home mom’s) on how they made their decision, how they make it work, and how they stay sane! Check out the questions that people had for our FTWM’s (full time working moms).
How do you manage to stay on top of everything?
FTWM #1 – “It’s all about using your time wisely, prioritizing, and not getting stressed if something doesn’t get done (there’s always tomorrow) and asking for help, when needed … My kids are old enough to start doing chores – so I can put a load of towels on the couch and then put what’s in the washer into the dryer and start a new load in the washer – when I come back, the towels are folded .”
FTWM #2 – “A lot of planning, but acceptance that you will make mistakes and forget something. Our mornings are so time oriented due to bus schedules and getting to work on time. I plan out as much as I can the night before. I also use both my phone and a paper calendar. My husband and I cc each other in on emails regarding things that we both may need to know. Also we utilize apps on our phone that lets us sync grocery lists and calendars with each other. Okay, more so it is me doing the calendar and reminding him. But you get it” 🙂
How do you do it all? FTWM #2 admitted to wishing she had more time during the day to spend time with friends or doing activities with her kids. She also admitted that she doesn’t get “it” all done and sometimes that’s hard. While, FTWM #1 said “you just do! Busy people get things done!”.
