Well, often when running after two rabbits we’ll end up
loosing both of them. But no, that saying is not always true and it does not
apply here. Usually people find it confusing when they realize that in order to
have a family they have to give up their career dreams, or in some cases even
their jobs. Actually it’s all about priorities and self control.
If ever confronted with this problem, and no other advice
works, try following these stages and maybe you will find the answers you need.
1. Decide if you are
ready to have a family.
This is very important. You must take in consideration all
aspects, family life means: children, spending time together, support.
If you don’t feel ready and still take this step, your
family will end up neglected for sure and you shouldn’t try to follow the next
steps unless you are ready.
2. Assuming you have a job, make a work plan and try to share work
problems at home.
You might find it unbelievable, but your family can help
with your work. They love you and even though they are not specialists in your work
area, they will do their best to give the best possible advice.
3. To have a career you have to work harder. Try getting some work home.
When waiting that promotion, you will have lots of unplanned
work to do. If you stay and finish it all at the office, your family will barely
see you. Try and take home with you what can be taken and at least they will be
happy knowing you are next to them, even if you are busy.
4. Keeping a warm
atmosphere at home will ease your job.
Do not fight with your family when you come home stressed from
work and also do not keep work problems secret from your family. If when you
get up in the morning you will be encouraged and leave home contentedly, your
job will be a lot easier.
5. When getting a
promotion, discuss it at home.
Even if it means more work, your family will understand if
they are asked first. They don’t want to get in the way of your career and
desires, they just want to see you and talk to you every day if possible. But
they will let you go work as much as you need and where you need to if you make
taking the better job their decision.
