Imagine how easy parenting would be if your children did what you wanted them to do without having to be asked over and over again. Imagine balancing things such as helping them with their homework, cleaning their room, taking out the garbage, emptying the dishwasher, picking up toys, mowing the lawn, walking the dog, and putting their dirty clothes into the hamper – as they all the while tell you how grateful they are for everything you do for them each and every day.
It sometimes seems laughable, right? Gerber Life helps you find a bit more balance in your life so that you’re not the only one doing chores when you get home from work, or even if you’re a stay-at-home parent. Our helpful articles will allow you to better enjoy your role as a parent who has to balance family and work life.
