Too busy for the kids too

Re: Too busy for the kids

I really enjoyed this and it really hits home and I feel so terrible sometimes for being too busy.
I work an 8 - 5 job and I'm also a photographer in my spare time. So weekends and evenings get busy.
I have a 9 year old daughter, Janique. She's such a wonderful girl. When it gets to being busy I ask
her to help. Highly recommended!

When we're in the kitchen, she becomes a master salad maker.
When we doing laundry, she helps fold the little things.
When we preparing for guests, she sets the table and lights candles.
When I work at my computer, she will stamp envelopes or give me advise when I work on my photo's.

I've managed to find something in everything I do for her to assist with. Gives us time together and
everything gets done faster, giving us more free time together. Also makes her feel important and needed
rather than feeling sorry for herself because "Mommy doesn't wanna play with me".

Mom's, don't try to do things alone!

Have a fantastic day!

Kind Regards
