Yes! One that I have had to learn the hard way is to make/allow your spouse to be an equal partner. I found that for me personally, I dominated the responsibilities with the children and the household chores. Primarily, because I thought that's what a good wife did - having not ever seen a functional marriage myself. It was overwhelming to say the least. When I started my business, I physically could not continue to do absolutely everything. And then I realized that the things I wouldn't do from pure exhaustion, my husband did them and he did a decent job at them.

If you aren't married, it is so very important that you find community. Maybe it's a group of single moms who have each other's backs. Maybe it's a church or family. You Are Not Alone.

Also, for those things that don't get done (dishes, laundry, whatever), if you can afford to hire someone to do them, great! If you can't and your children are not old enough to help, life will go on. When our children are adults, we are not going to look back at their childhood and say "my kitchen was always sparkling."

To the extent possible, you have to put a line between work and home. I could literally work 24 hours a day at the office, that is just how fast paced and busy it is. But when I go home, I put my phone on silent and I do not look at it again for any reason until my children (and my husband) are asleep. #momlifechats

Take it one day at at time.
