It
is usually the women who are written about when it comes to a work-life
balance. Between taking care of the kids and job responsibilities, women seem
to be the most vocal. Enterprises TV takes a look at how men handle their
everyday priorities.
While
the balance of chores at home is becoming a little more even between men and
women, men may feel like they aren’t doing enough, or are told they need to do more.
This can lead to frustration and fighting. In that light, we want to offer tips
on how to make it better for them.
Employers
and colleagues need to know that men have families and need to be there for
them. When they have to leave a little earlier to pick kids up, take one to the
doctor or attend a special event, don’t give them grief about it. Give them the time needed to do what they
need to without making comments.
Couples
can get together once week and go over the weekly calendar. Make it more fun
with a glass of wine. Don’t get wrapped up in details. Talk about what didn’t work
last week and how to make it work this week. Be careful to not assign blame
when something doesn’t get done.
Turn
technology off, guys. We know your boss expects you to be on call 24/7, but
that is not realistic with a family and outside interests. Make time to tune
out, go play sports with some buddies and do other man things. It’s okay to say
no to some requests.
The
Enterprises TV show suggests setting priorities for family and self. Everyone
has their own favorite things to do. Work out what has to be done on Sunday and
plan to set time aside for yourself during the week. Household chores can be
split evenly. Validate each other’s needs and wants. And don’t forget to spend
time with each other too.
