Too Much Work and No Play
Increasingly people are becoming much more aware of the fact that work is just work and indeed there is much more to life than simply working all the hours God sends. This is particularly true if you have kids. After all, you can work long hours, they can have all the latest gadgets, toys and i-pods etc, but if they don’t really know you and if you don’t know them, then what is the point of it all? Do you want their memories of childhood to be ones that relate only to the material possessions they had, rather than fun times with Mummy and Daddy?
Isn’t it better to spend as much time with your children as possible, before they grow up, fly the nest and you wonder just where on earth the time went?
Well if you are thinking about whether or not you are working too much, then the chances are that you probably are! But just because you have been working long hours, doesn’t mean that you have to carry on that way. You may be able to cut down your hours and adopt a flexible working arrangement with your employer. Or you may be able to look for a new position that offers you a chance to work fewer hours and spend more time with your children.
There are so many recruitment agencies around, that can all help you to find the kind of hours that you need, at the right kind of pay scale, so you can get help to find the job that offers you the chance to play a really big part in your children’s lives, but also gives you the opportunity to carry on with your career. In other words, you really can have your cake and eat it too. Which is great news, not just for you, but also for your kids as well!
