One time, I was at a Q&A with Nora Roberts, and someone asked her how to balance writing and kids, and she said that the key to juggling is to know that some of the balls you have in the air are made of plastic & some are made of glass.

And her point, addressing a room full of women, was not “prioritize kids over work.” It was “some kid stuff is glass and some is plastic, and sometimes, to catch a glass work ball, you have to drop a plastic family one, and that is okay.”

And the reverse is also true. Sometimes, to catch a glass kid ball, something at work has to slide, and that is okay, too. If you are juggling 55 balls, some are going to drop, so you have to focus not on broad categories, but on the glass balls.

Also, can we create a parent resistance against “crazy _____ day?” I just need my kids to be at school from 8-4. I can’t handle much else

Yep. Family is important, but teaching kids that their wants are more valuable that a parent's need to do good work or strive for their goals is the way to create monstrous adults.

Having my morning turned upside-down by the (very passionate) kid who suddenly remembers that today is crazy sock day at school....can’t relate at all.

As a logistics professional, I’m definitely keeping this metaphor in my back pocket. So much of our job is finding which balls are glass and which are plastic.

This is the difference of the invisible emotional labour....5 balls vs. 55 balls.
