It is hard to balance work and life at home. I always need to leave work at 5pm. I dont like leaving the perception that I am just 8-5. But life beckons. My son is ravenous when I get him at 5:30. There is literally only 5 minutes to fix dinner when we get home. Frozen chicken cooked in the microwave and frozen broccoli. Good thing that he will eat the same thing every night. Well as long as there is ranch dressing. I give 110% while I am at the office. I don't leave anything un-done. Usually get to work by 7:30. But I still fell guilty leaving at 5. There are times when I have had to stay later to make sure that something was completed, and I do that.
I ask you, how do you make a good impression at work and take care of your family when you are a single mom?
