How to Be a Super Woman - A Successful Career Woman, Wife and Mother

When your first baby arrives, you would be overwhelmed with your duty as a mother, wife and your job. You are not alone. It is mother's instinct that has got us through this stage of our life. We are now retired and into our next stage, looking after our grandchildren and time to relax with our spouse or do whatever we always wanted to but could not afford the time. However we need passive income for retirement. Thus enjoy your youth and save to invest as early as you can.

Enjoy motherhood and watch your baby grow with your spouse and parents or relatives. When you are working you can leave your child in a daycare center; or your relatives or siblings who are not working; or a caregiver who can be your neighbor, a friend or someone whom you can trust. Remember to do get someone with experience so that you need not worry at work.

Leave baby feeding bottles, milk powder, diapers, clothes etc all in a carrier which you can replenish items easily. Always pick your child up at the stipulated time because leaving your child over the stipulated time would definitely cause inconvenience to your caregiver. Also your child would not be happy as he would definitely want to be back home with the family.

The older children can always learn to go home straight from school. When children are younger do go home early to be with them. Kids still need parental guidance. If you are late, then get your husband to go home earlier.

Alternatively, you or your husband can do the night shifts so that one of you is home to look after the children.

You need to choose a day care center wisely. Ensure it is cost effective or else it might be wiser for you to stay home and look after your children and do some home-based business. If can afford it have a part-time help or preferably a full time help to do the household chores. When you are back from work you have time with the family.

It is a relief to note that the government has tax deductions for children under 12 years.

Always train your child to be independent and help with the household chores. The bond within the family would naturally be created when you do things together. Learn to relax by watching a movie or play a game together before going to bed. A holiday together as many times in a year would be great to destress.
