 A lot of times people ask me how is it that I'm able to balance work and home? I'm a mom of three, so it is very very tough. Come and check out a typical day for me. Girls, I'm home. Whenever I come in the door, the first thing I do is hear the screams and yells from the kids. So I have to greet them and then settle them down to get them into their next activity. Hey guys! Do you guys have to start any homework? Yes. Okay, when I'm there, I'm going to be right there. Okay, go. Take out what you guys are doing. Even babies are learning structure. Okay, let's take a look at it. Can you start to sound it out? On Sundays, the children usually don't have any homework, but I try to keep them in the routine of getting home and doing some school work every day. So even if it's not assigned to them, we give them a little extracurricular learning, so extra reading or extra comprehension with math. As we all know, that practice really adds up and it helps. So what are you reading about? I sound. Items. Items? What are items? I'm making a clutch and I'm just plucking. Okay, great. So what did you learn in that book? And then they slide out each other like this, and I think that they like this. Okay, awesome. Friend. Excellent. Write your summary for that story, okay? So can you read the first question to me and what answer you pick? Where does Felix fly? So when something catches your eye, what does it do? It focuses on the eye. Like wow, that really caught my eye. What does that mean? Get attention. Yes. So after I get the big hits going with your homework, my next step is to focus on the baby. Who is almost down the stairs. So toddlers, you have to be super quick about. You have to always keep an eye on them because they are fast and getting into trouble is the name of the game. Right, Sarai? Right? All right. So we're going to get her active and not only do I focus on the big girls for schoolwork and reading, I also focus on Sarai. Also notice I haven't taken off my work clothes yet. All right. So what we're going to do now is we're going to get you reading, okay? I know you want to color today. Do you want to color, Sarai? Circles and squares. Okay. Ready? Okay. Cow is blowing bubbles in the garden. Can cow blow a bubble? So sometimes I kind of get the baby excited about looking at books and playing with her blocks. And then I might kind of multitask between going back and checking the girl's homework and also watching her play. Like I said, the toddler has to be supervised because it's nothing but danger. Not. They're not watched. Yeah. They have to be super-duper agile as a mom. Cow is blowing bubbles in the garden. Can he blow in a circle? Yes, he can. And how many bubbles did he blow? One, two, three, four, five, six, seven. We've got to make our lunch. I want you to prepare the grilled cheeses. Okay. The sandwiches. Okay. Okay. It's going. Yeah. You have to put the cheese on this. On the bread. On the bread. You have to make a sandwich and then cook it. So one cheddar. One cheddar. One American. So get the bread with butter. Yeah. Okay. We'll do the cheese. The convention is very, very hard. Okay. So you put it like this. Okay. Yeah. You're going to have some grilled cheese and chicken noodle soups too. Mmm. Mmm. Thank you God for this lunch. Thank you God for blessing us all this morning. I ate our breakfast and went to church. Jesus name, amen. Amen. That was a blessed blessing. Of course. Don't you write the date every day? 2000. 20. 20, 18. So as a mom and a doctor, a lot of people, as I mentioned before, really have questions about how I'm able to balance both. And personally for me and my family, I found that I haven't really found a difference, you know, from before. As I mentioned in a prior video, a teacher before I became a doctor and I had my daughter in the fourth year of medical school. So I'm used to being a parent before, you know, kind of like after becoming a physician. The transition was really easy because I just used to it because I've been doing it for so long. But in my personal life, in my family, we don't have like any outsourced help and we are very much self-sufficient. My husband helps out greatly. Here's the hobby in his usual spot by the computer. Editing all the videos and knowledge guy. Mathematics and science in general is to be able to simplify. We'll put a box around 2A and 3A. And he brings the kids from home to school and back every day. And I go to work full-time and so does he. And then when we get home, we just split the duties. So we have to, like I said, keep to a structure, keep a routine. And that really, really, really helps us to maintain some type of structure and clarity and sanity in what we're doing. I have found that, you know, a lot of times people want to like suggest that I outsource things like for my kids at home. Like I should get a nanny or I should like hire someone to like help transport the kids to school or in the house. And I found that, you know, that's something that I personally don't see any utility for. I don't think that doing that will help me be a better parent. And when it all boils down to it, you can outsource parenting. Parenting is something that is a choice. And once you choose to do that, you have to be fully committed to it. So I take pride in, you know, being there for my kids and making sure that my schedule is such that I can be there for my kids. Anesthesia has really helped with that part. And, you know, it's a really great opportunity to balance your work and your home life. So that's me at home with my three. If you guys have any questions, please, please leave them in the comments below and I'll see you next time.
