COT: How do you manage conflicting requests from kids and your wife? I find myself overwhelmed at times. While I don’t want to disappoint. I have to make a trade-off between optimizing time and resources and pleasing everyone. What has worked for me? Active listening, communication, show that you care, share that everyone in the house deserves attention. Don’t be selfish.
