How to Balance Work and Parenting

Hey, this is my friend Kate.

Morning.

And both of us are watching our kids somewhat solo this week, which is a challenge. But, Kate, what is your number one tip for how parents can balance being professional as well as being a parent?

Number one is you just have to make a plan. If you don't have set out for this is when we're gonna leave in the morning. This is what I'm gonna accomplish today. It's never gonna happen, and you're all just gonna be frustrated and angry to start the day.

Okay, well, I am frustrated and angry, so I should have talked to you first. But my number one rule is to throw out a lot of the rules. So my kids have been on their tablets, they've been watching tv, they've been eating junk food. It be me sane then same as well. So I'm not going to do this forever. But that's my number one rule, is to throw out all the rules.

Well, maybe number two is no judgment. We're all just making it happen.

Thanks for not judging me.

I appreciate it. So we're here for it, all right?
