I work a lot of hours and feel guilty when I tell my kids to let me work, how can I balance my time?

Give Me 5 Minutes And I'll Give You Quality Time

Whether you work from home, take your work home, or just have a BUSY lifestyle, finding ways to balance your life can be hard. You should never feel like a bad parent because you can't devote as much time as you'd like with your children. But you can feel better about your parenting skills by giving your children more of you. The next time your child comes to you asking for a little help, to watch a movie with him/her, or to watch him perform a new trick, ask your child to give you five minutes to save your work or finish your task. Then spend those precious moments with your child. Even if you only have a few minutes to spare, five minutes of devoted time is worth more than anything you could ever buy or give your child.
