Work life balance - is it a myth?

It is pretty hard to get any time to yourself when you are a working mum with two ankel biters. Trying to move forward with a career is tricky when you are working part time and have other priorities. But you still want to feel like you are moving forward.

I think the idea of work life balance is a bit of a myth really. Sometimes you are going to be more focused on your family and kids and other times your work will be pretty intense. I think the balance is probably in the longer term rather than the shorter term. It's just bloody hard work trying to do both - survival rather than balance seems like a realistic goal!!!
