Am I doing too much?

Question

I look after my 10 month old son
I run a once a week youth group for 10-14 yr olds on a Friday night
I run a once a fornight Sunday school class for 10-14 yr olds
I run two weekly Mums and Toddlers groups - one on a Monday afternoon for 0-5 yr olds, one on a morning Friday for 0-3s
I have a job where I work Saturday 9-5.30pm and Thursday 6-9pm
I am doing too much?

If so, what should I cut out?

Answer 1

ARE YOU CAPABLE OF JUGGLING ALL THE DUTIES, WITHOUT FEELING TOO TIRED, AND STILL HAVE HAVE FOR YOUR FAMILY? IF YES, I KNOW A LOT OF LIKE THAT. IF NO. YOU SHOULD STOP AND ORGANISE IN A WAY, SO THAT YOU HAVE PLENTY OF TIME TO SPEND TIME WITH YOUR SON, AND A HUSBAND?

You are running these programmes for young children, which is very commendable, but you also nee to make sure your child, through any neglect from your part, ends up going to one of these places himself. Remember if you are healthy and the child happy, all the activities will be a breez. Lay back a little of the baby.



HAVE A LOT OF TIME WITH YOU SON, CAUSE HE NEEDS YOU NOW!

Answer 2

Actually, if you are well organized and happy, then you're fine. Some of us like to have a lot to do. However, if you're asking the question, then perhaps you are. How about only one Mums and Toddler group, and make the once a week youth group a once a fortnight group or find some one else to do it on alternate weeks?

Answer 3

Of course not! As long as you have your son with you for the groups, and that your husband is with your son when you do Sunday school, evening youth group and your work times.

Answer 4

Only YOU can answer that question. Does it feel too much for you? Are you getting stressed out because of doing too much? Do you feel like you have no time left over for yourself? We cannot tell you if you are doing too much or not.
