In our daily lives, we observed that more women are working in offices than are staying at home to care for their families. Of course, we can’t say that working from home doesn’t mean the same thing as working in an office. Cooking, cleaning, taking care of the kids is also called work, but the meaning of “work” itself somehow had expanded these days. The meaning of “work” can be associated with working outside the house and have a career.
It is also true that the majority of women who have experienced the thrill of working grow more independent and occasionally stop thinking about starting a family. They are incredibly dedicated to their work, pursuing their dreams, and realizing their objectives. Being a wife or mother seems boring, and doing the same job every day and dealing with the same issues all the time doesn’t seem like a good option. To be completely honest, there are times when we assume that we should be doing all the housework and we never give them credit for what they have done to manage and maintain the household. Because of this, many women today prefer to marry in their 30s or remain single.
But is it really true that being a housewife and having a career are two completely different worlds? It can, in fact, as the saying goes. The secret is balance; it’s about how we can manage our time so that these two things can coexist peacefully. Here are a few tips that you could try:
1. Organize your time at home so that everything can be completed as usual. It is not shameful to ask for help, whether it comes from your husband or even your kids, if you feel like you can’t handle it on your own. Giving your children a job may also be a way of instilling in them discipline and responsibility. If you could improve the quality of your communication with them, the decrease in communication should also not pose a significant issue.
2. Even if you are the boss at work, you still need to remember your place at home. The family still has your husband as the head. Discussion is necessary, but you shouldn’t make every decision by yourself.
3. In the workplace, act professionally. It is crucial to understand the workplace culture and atmosphere. As a result, you are aware of what you ought to and ought not to do. Avoid bringing work-related issues from the office home. It is better to deal with any issues you may be having at work.
So, is it possible to have both a career and a home? Sure you can.
