It's a funny thing - when I'm crazed with work, spending time with my children relaxes me. Yet, at the end of a long weekend with them, the very thing I need to relax is a little work and time away from them!
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I have 3 kids and a cat and a busy, noisy house. I get more time to relax when I'm working.
I only have so much energy, so something had to go. This is why, at the end of the day, I've preserved my sanity for the children and also manage to do my best at work.
As a working mum, it's really hard to find time in the day to just relax and take a break. I am constantly on the go.
The time to relax is when you don't have time for it.
On one day of the week, I relax - which is not true, I work furiously on other things. 'Relax' is not a word to me.
When I'm not working on the ground, spending time with my husband and daughter puts me at ease.
I don't relax. I can't take vacations. I'm obsessive-compulsive, and I worry with every project that I'm going to fail. When it starts to go well, and I sense that something beautiful and important and meaningful is being created, it's a fantastic feeling, and I find it very hard to stop.
The only way I could relax was when I was with my children.
When I'm at my grandparents', I know I literally have to do nothing but relax, enjoy myself, and enjoy my family members' company.
When I'm not working, my time is really about my children.
