Seven Ways to Simplify your Life as a Working Mum

Four remote controls, two phones, a lap top ,a desk top and a set of car keys constantly being moved into obscure hiding places by the kids – and we were all told technology would simplify our lives!  As working mums  our lives are complicated further by the dual identity we keep and the limited time either side of the working day to get ourselves organised.   Read More

I think everyone juggling work and familes put too much pressure on themselves to achieve things, you are right about being realistic.. what is going to happen if you don't do it? Are your children going to suffer because you didn't iron their clothes or hoover their bedroom as much as you wanted to.

Your advice about getting the children to help is really good. I sometimes give my children the basket of clean washing and get them to sort it into piles for each member of the family.. it is then easier for me to tackle. They also feel a sense of achievement.


As for the paraphanalia I'm not sure that it has cut down now they are older; a bag for swimming, football, school, ballet, lunch etc.. I really have to keep on top of this by washing it and replacing the items in their bags straight after so I don't have to panic 5 minutes before they need it again.

Thanks for the advice, I am off to buy a massive wall calendar...
