So it goes like this…
The stress increases
The time decreases
The demands from other people increase
The time decreases
The complications arise from nowhere
The time decreases
The requests for urgent actions increases
The time decreases
The need to be at work increases
The time with the family decreases
The need for support from the family increases
The inclination to support from the family decreases
The urge to ‘just get through’ this next phase increases
The time decreases
The angst that the family doesn’t seem to understand increases
The quality of the relationship with the family decreases
There is another way…
Break the cycle.
When it starts to happen, see the warning signs and increase time with the family.
Sideline other things which seem important
Increase time with the family
Postpone meetings with people you don’t know very well
Increase time with the family
Without my family the rest of it is meaningless, so when the rest of it puts the strain on my family then I have to sideline the rest of it.
