Shayne on You: Stop trying to be Robo-Mom

Dear Maggie,

Story Continues Below

This isn’t as dramatic as some of the letters I’ve seen in your column, but I’d just love to know if you have any ideas. I’m a busy mom. I have a full time job that helps out with the family income, and three small children, and I’m exhausted. There don’t seem to be enough hours in the day to do all that needs to be done, and I constantly run out of time before I’ve finished for the the day. I have enough work to employ a full time housekeeper, nanny, chauffeur, and cook, but since I’m no millionaire, I do it all. Or try to. Do you have any suggestions for finding more time?

Signed,

Manic-Mom


Dear Manic,

First, this is going to pass. It won’t last forever. Hold onto that. Second, remember that you never “get it done.” We’ll all die someday with undone items on our to-do list. Not everything is as important we think it is. The world won’t end if your floors aren’t sparkling.
