Guilty
Suppose you enjoy your job and you love your family; but you feel that you are not able to be there for your family "all of the time". My children are grown with their own families; but I still feel obligated to them. Any ideas?
Guilt will rob you of quality time if you allow it. You visit or devote time not because of "love" but a sense of obligation. My wife & I find that when we visit our children - we spend quality time spaced out - I don't need to see them weekly. Even better is "Face Time" for those in-between/special moments.
Realize grown children do not always need me. Set aside time to see them that works for all of us.
Create a schedule of family, personal, and professional time. Be sure to keep the schedule and in each segment of time give it 100% of you and loose the guilt.
I need to follow this plan and stick to it myself.
