Sometimes you have to dig really deep but unless there is someone you can hand the LO over to ... you just gotta do what you gotta do right? </p> <p>They all go to bed eventually .....LOL. And there have been times when I have gone to bed immediately after putting my daughter to bed!</p> <p>And more often than not, your LO will do something so sweet and so adorable that it will give you a burst of energy to power through! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/worklife-balance#post-64841 Wed, 01 Feb 2012 12:08:03 +0000 Modern Daisy 64841@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I worry about this too esp on nights like last night when I left work right at 5 on the nose and went straight to the couch and didn't move until I got in bed at 10. I was totally physically exhausted and not for any good reason other than not sleeping well for the past 2 days.</p> <p>It took every ounce of effort I had just to put my dinner plate in the dishwasher (I bought a prepared meal). I can't even imagine what it would be like to have an energetic toddler running around or a crying baby! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/worklife-balance#post-64832 Wed, 01 Feb 2012 12:00:45 +0000 mommacommaphd 64832@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My daughter is 2 now and we have another baby on the way.</p> <p>There are nights I get home and just have no patience or energy to deal with a cranky toddler. Those nights I cut myself slack and let my husband do the bedtime routine while I just do my own thing.</p> <p>Thankfully those nights aren't frequent. A lot of times, I get home and it's rejuvenating and mood-lifting to be with my daughter. She helps me forget the crap and at work and just laugh at/with her and enjoy the little time we get together.</p> <p>It can be tough at times, but we make it work. I'm sure you will to. Hope this helps! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/worklife-balance#post-64751 Wed, 01 Feb 2012 10:24:34 +0000 mrsjyw 64751@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For working mama bees... </p> <p>The past couple of weeks have been absolutely draining at work. It got so bad to the point where, I went straight to bed the last couple of nights (after feeding the furbabies).... and zoned out for 5 hours. </p> <p>I know that obviously life changes, you sacrifice, and you adjust to life post-baby... I'm still ready for baby, but I did think last night "wow? and I want to add a baby to this crazy, (unbalanced) work/life schedule?</p> <p>How do you handle a rough day/week at work with baby? </p>
