Juggling multiple responsibilities

Posted on 06/04/201604/19/2025 by Mark
It is really challenging for me juggling all of my responsibilities as a husband, father, fulltime employee at JPMorgan Chase, freelance High School sports writer/photographer (www.thestatmanspeaks.com has been hiatus since he was born and it will return in August), and freelance Daddy Diaries writer.  I didn’t even mention alone time for me…naps, television (I want to watch Bloodline season 2 on Netflix), and extended amounts of time to write. 

As you can probably tell, I have a passion for writing.  The majority of my Daddy Diaries for last month were written while we were in the hospital and I elaborated all of them when we got home either when he slept or was being breastfed. 

I actually get a lot done while Nina breastfeeds, when the baby sleeps, or when somebody else holds the baby (not named Mark).   I don’t complain nor do I get stressed out about it.  I just do whatever I can and if something doesn’t get done, it will just have to wait. 

I have a lot of friends who are dads and I want to know, how do you juggle your responsibilities? 
​
Now, as far as my wife, she is home all day with him (yes, she is a fulltime housewife who doesn’t get paid).  But, she should get paid (and, I don’t mean an allowance I give her) because it is a lot of work.  She told me it is hard and is really happy when I am home.

Hi, I am Mark. I started writing in 2011 about high school football, daddy blogging since 2015, and reviewing books since 2023. My writing style is unique, my sense of humor is a little crazy, and I’m not embarrassed to share any of it. You can email me at thedadspeaks@icloud.com.
