 Common Busy Mom's problems and Solutions

Should I tell my housemaid to help me take my child for her regular checkup? 

Continue reading..

This is what a busy mom said, You know how life can get so hectic, right? Well, this mom, let’s call her Kritika, was juggling a million things at once. She had a  job that was very demanding, and also a home to manage, and a little one who needed her attention. One day, she said, “I will be busy, and I’m going to tell my house help to take my child for a regular checkup.” It seemed like a good plan at the time.

Kritika had a lot on her plate. She was working long hours, trying to meet deadlines, and also managing household chores. She thought that by asking her house help to take her child for the checkup, she could save some time and focus on her work. But things didn’t go as planned.

The day of the checkup arrived, and Kritika had a lot of work to do. She had back-to-back meetings and couldn’t even take a break. She reminded her house help, “Please take my child to the doctor today.” The house help nodded, but as the day went on, she got caught up with other tasks around the house. By the time kritika finished her work, it was too late. The house help hadn’t taken her child for the checkup.

When Kritika found out, she felt so guilty and sad, that how could she have trusted someone else to take care of her child’s health, and it didn’t happen. She then said to herself that even though she was busy, she needed to be more involved in her child’s care. It was a tough lesson for her, but it made her think about how she could manage her time better and still be there for her child. Are you also like kritika who is looking for ways to manage work and still find time for your kids?

Let's discuss some helpful solutions for busy moms on how you can care for your children, even when you have a lot going on:

 1. Schedule Regular Checkups in Advance: 

One of the best ways to ensure that your child gets the care they need is to schedule regular checkups in advance. Set reminders on your phone or mark them on your calendar. This way, you would remember the appointments. 

 2. Involve the Child in the Process:

If your child is old enough, involve them in the process, this can make it easier for you. You can have a talk with your child about the importance of checkups and make it a fun outing. And promise them that they would have a special treat to enjoy after the appointment. This way, your child would look forward to the checkup instead of dreading it.

3. Create a Support System:

Having a support system is crucial for busy moms. You should have a family member you can reach out to who could help you with childcare. Maybe your sister could take your child for the checkup while you work. Building a network of support can ease the burden and ensure that the child’s needs are met.

4. Use Technology to Stay Organized:

Do you know there are so many apps and tools available to help you as a busy mom stay organized? You can use a family calendar app to keep track of appointments, school events, and other important dates. This way, you wouldn’t miss anything, and it would be easier to coordinate with your house help or anyone else involved in your child’s care.

5. Set Boundaries at Work:

It is important to set boundaries at work, how do you do this? When you set boundaries you won't be too overwhelmed, you can have communication with your employer, let them know that you have family responsibilities. Set clear boundaries, and you can carve out time for your child’s appointments without feeling guilty about work.

 6. Prioritize Self-Care: It is easy for busy moms to forget about themselves while taking care of their families. However, self-care is essential for maintaining balance. You can  set aside some time each week for yourself, find time for exercise, reading, or just relaxing. When you take care of yourself, you will be better equipped to care for her child.

 7. Make Use of Telehealth Services:

Do you know telehealth can be very helpful to you as busy moms? This is true, if you can't take your child to the doctor in person, you can have a virtual appointment. This way, you can get the medical advice your child needs without the hassle of traveling to a clinic.

 8.Plan Family Time:

Amidst the busyness, it’s important for you as a mom to plan quality family time. You can set aside specific days for family activities, like going to the park or having a movie night. This would not only strengthen your bond but also create opportunities for discussing important matters, like health checkups.

9.Be Flexible and Adaptable:

Life is unpredictable, and sometimes things don’t go as planned. It is really okay  to be flexible and adapt to changing circumstances. You can reschedule and schedule your appointment or you can ask someone else for help.

 Conclusion

What did you learn from kritika‘s experience? Did you learn  a valuable lesson about the importance of being involved in your child’s care? I want to let you know that even when life gets busy you need to take charge of our responsibilities as parents. Will you be using some of these solutions to find a balance between work and family life?

 If you ever find yourself in a similar situation, don't forget  it’s okay to ask for help, but also make sure to stay engaged in your child’s life. It’s all about finding that balance and making sure your little ones are taken care of, no matter how busy you get.
