I think of the word “balance” kind of like the settings on your dryer. We all have different thermostats, speeds, levels of heat, etc. I believe that balance means different things to different people and each one of us has to figure out what that means individually. At the end of the day it is often about ‘opportunity cost’ ie what you give up in order to get and reality is we can’t be all things to all people all of the time. That is just how life is. I think being a balanced parent can help, but the truth is there will be some aspects of parenting that will never be easy. That is why it is important that we have the right support systems in place.

Best to you,
-Kakie
