As we have grown and transitioned from being a child to your young adult life and then from being a parent in a long term relationship, we start to feel certain roles that we play or start to see how they were played by people we loved and maybe they are no longer there.
One of those roles is the archeytype and embodiment of a working parent. Someone very stable and reliable and giving such as a mother, a nurtuting figure - giving abundance and provider of both love and stability in material and emotional level. A person who helps to thrive but also on other level is helping to create great connections and alignments.
Prosperity and security gained through hard work is about providing it to yourself and others but also generating generosity and hospitality to the ones we offer love. It's the time to create some certain level of balance on both emotional and material level that is sustainable and a resource that is replenished easily.
Nurtuting others means also nurtuting yourself - while you put yourself into this type of work - you need to create a balance on both sides of the coin - otherwise the fragile construct of work-life balance won't be working as it is supposed to. Understanding this is quite complicated when all the problems heap up and we are in constant process of finding the solution by simply working more and providing the material resources. But all in all it is usually a short-sighted way of solving things.
On the other hand - your family and home may be taking over and you don't have the mind to take care of your work and focusing on the goals in that area.
The conflict as such is inevitable - the moments when you think and talk to yourself about what would be the best situation, is coming. You need to be prepared to face it and slowly think through what is the best agreement, best additional help to ask for. There are always solutions.
