As a fellow human trying to balance parenting and running a business, I know how hard it can be.

This week I want to address your woes in another Agony Aunt episode. I asked members of the Misfit Entrepreneurs Facebook group what their biggest challenges were as business parents. 

And today I’ll answer one from Bec Slack from CleverStuff. Bec’s biggest challenge is:

“When they were younger the feeling of guilt for using daycare when people thought working from home meant they should be with me (noone actually said it, but it was the feeling).

Now they are older it's the guilt of being home and them asking to do something but I still have work to do.

Mind you, their face when I can make an assembly to see them get an award or being able to attend book parade makes up for it.

Juggling is tricky no matter what though. It's not just work Vs kids, it's work Vs kids Vs partner Vs mental health Vs social life Vs hobbies Vs sleep.”

This week I want to address your woes in another Agony Aunt episode. I asked members of the Misfit Entrepreneurs Facebook group what their biggest challenges were as business parents. 

And today I’ll answer one from Donelle Dewar. Donelle’s biggest challenge is:

Constantly being pulled in multiple directions - trying to keep all the plates spinning, occasionally giving up and just letting one smash to the ground, then feeling like I'm being judged for it.

This is a new type of episode. I wanted to do some kind of ‘Agony Aunt’ style podcast. So I posted in the Misfit Entrepreneur group and I asked people what their challenges were about being a parent and a business owner. 

Today’s answer is for Amy Treacy from Bush Biz Boost, her question is:

“Being so passionate about the work I’m doing that I spend way too much time ‘working’…but it’s also my creative outlet and connection with people. So how do I manage the balance?”
