Every day has become monotonous for many of us working professionals. Carrying out the same routine, and interacting with the same people, could bring an imbalance to an individual’s life. Maintaining a work-life balance is not an easy thing. The concern is even bigger when the working professional is a parent too. Then it is not just a matter of striking a balance between your personal choices and work requirements, it’s also about constantly caring for your children, maintaining your personal life, and making the right career choices while keeping the future of your children in mind.
Stress At Work
No matter how much you love your job there are days and even weeks when you wish for a break. Meeting deadlines, fulfilling clients’ demands, and leading projects, can stress you out to no end. Your work stress can easily sneak up into your household and it could make you unpleasant at home with your family.
Work stress can be caused due to:
- Additional responsibilities
- Working overtime
- Changes in team
- Changes at home
- Going through a burnout
Your well-being should be prioritised over everything else. If work becomes too stressful and makes you an irritable, it will start affecting your home life and family members too. Children learn from the behaviour of their parents and seeing their parents be cranky will give them a green light to be cranky when they are feeling stressed too.

Stress at home could lead to:
