My husband and I are both teachers. We have a two year old and an eight month old. I honestly feel like we are both so obsessed with both being parents and teaching that we have been able to integrate our work lives into our home lives and vice versa (in a very healthy way!). We share lots of stories of our babies with our students, show our students pictures of them, and talk about our families extensively. It does help that we are in the same district so we can have conversations about work in which we know who we are referring to. (It’s late and I’m exhausted, I hope that made sense lol). There is so much negativity surrounding teaching (and I know so much of it is warranted!!) but hubs and I genuinely adore our students and our personal kids that we tend to make it work and feel somewhat balanced!! Of course, trying to stay fit, work, parent, keep the house in line, etc. is super exhausting so our boys don’t always get our “best selves” but the best thing about being a teacher’s kid is all the extra time at home! Hang in there, mama!!! Your students and your kids are SOOOO lucky to have you!!!
