I aggree entirely with you dear Elizabeta. Our families are suffering a lot. We have been far too busy by than anybody else. We need to create short but “quality” time withbour loved ones. Time flies.

I think it does, however they also stand to gain in several ways. First, being a researcher requires spending a lot of time for reading and making sense out of what we find. Hence we are mostly isolated as you rightly stated, and this often happens when we are not able to find the right balance between work and family. On the other hand, our work helps us earn enough and family also benefits. So in all I think it is about how we find the right balance so we do not make them suffer much due to our absence. Because in all, time spent with family is really worth it.

You always need to find some free/leisure time for your family and yourself in order to not feel that way. Sometimes we get really busy. However, self-management and effective time-management is a key!

Depending on the families adiditute / upbringing /social environment / cultural lifestyle interaction and activities forwards YOU

I think no

may be

Maybe

Family and professin are like nail and flesh. So it is obvious to have both positive and negative impact

Well,

Depends on the profession , teaching and desk jobs , I don't think ...

If it where corporate then to some extent ...

Yes family life suffers. But it's for noble cause, professionally and financially we gain too.

Yes of course

I think (and also sure) my family suffers in some way from my profession. I think that this problem is caused by not to have enough time for them.

- When working as a medical doctor; overworking in hospital,

- During my academic period; time off intensive working, congresses...

- The periods of my administrative duties; stress, time off intensive working.

There are certain moments of professional activity, for example, when you are immersed in a process of professional promotion, or when you are working on an investigation, ..., it is very difficult to disconnect mentally and in these cases family life suffers. Learning to organize work / free time, learning to "leave work in the office", ..., can help us to reconcile work and family life.

Yes.but we have too mange

Yes sure

Dear Elizabeta Hristovska,

You are right at saying that "our family is in some way "suffers" because of our profession". When you mention family it is included our sons, daughters, spouses, parents, etc., and of course they suffer when we suffer, and they are happy when we are so. That is why all of us suffer when we do not pay attention to them, they suffer when we cannot be with them in certain moments of their life and those moments are important to them.

You are right dear Elizabeth, you are right.

Best wishes,

Litart

To some extent. Sometimes, I sacrifice some family time for editorial services for some journals who require urgent reviews for some manuscripts. But, I try hard to make it up to them. It hasn't been easy at all.

I aggree entirely with you dear Elizabeta. Our families are suffering a lot. We have been far too busy by than anybody else. We need to create short but “quality” time withbour loved ones. Time flies.

Yes, because we spend much time in our work.

We know we remain very much busy in our profession career even in writing publication ,reading , & such other activities of our life ,people may not offer sufficient time for the family as a matter of practice this is not a good healthy line as we have to give the priority to our family including observation for the children growth & welfare .

For this a regular time practice may not give any problem for our family .

This is my personal opinion

Yes, most often.

Yes sure. Our job as a Professor in University with no finished work for always.

It's hard for me and for my family.

Dear Colleagues - learning a middle pathway what it is maybe all about - and not setting goals that arise from our ego. This does not mean that we do not subscribe to a high standard of excellence.

This way nobody suffers and everybody in the family can benefit from each other’s presence. I know this sounds idealistic but at least we can aim at achieving it.

Warm regards Tina

نعم بعض الأحيان. ولكن في الوقت ذاته تكون لها الدور المهم في دعم وتشجيع المهنة

Dear colleagues,

Thanks for all your answers and all your tips. I hope this is useful not only for me, but for all others who follow my questions. By "socializing with you within the question" now I really have a different sense of the topic we are discussing.

Yes, however we all need to sacrifice for the long time benefit for the family.

نعم عوائلنا تعاني بسبب مهنتنا لان وقتنا في البيت مخصص للمتابعة والدراسة والمذاكرة وغير ذلك

Life is twisting us in certain direction, we have to set priorities.

My profession takes most of my time, sometimes even at the weekend

Best Regards Elizabeta Hristovska

Thank you all for the interesting answers. It is a pleasure to read your views on the topic. I wish to keep your interest. Greetings to all of you.

Ladies and Gentlemen, I am glad that in these warm days I have kept your attention to my questions. I will not argue with you all about your answers because I respect every opinion, I will just give you a big thank you. Greetings from me to all of you

Sometimes, YES

May be at times , it is tradeoff family versus profession !!!

may be

Not always, but in many cases it's true.

may be , but not always

Dear all, this situation is a real fact. Usually, it is very difficult to find a compromise between answering all the family needs and devoting the necessary time required for teaching and research task. Sometimes someone mind is totally booked for a certain problem or idea, at that time his family ask for going out for a day. Even if he answers positively his family, he will be present with them only by his body. I am talking on things I have experienced myself. My Regards

Dear all,

Our situation is very difficult and i think there isn't a solution which can the happiness fo all. Why? Because, teaching and research make us very tired without satisfaction. Every day, there are new tasks, new papers to do, new conferences to make, new meetings to achieve and so on. This situation causes a bad relationship between teachers and his family members.

With my regards!

I have already explain my views in my reply on 20 June

Thanks

Not always ..

Sometimes , yes

Not always

Yes

Not always .

Why

True in many cases, but then to manage and balance out both. As either couldn't be left aside.

Need to learn "Art of Professional's Life"

If our families suffer we eventually will suffer as well. What we do to others eventually comes around so it is better to seek a balance. I know a top scientist who "neglected" his children leaving them to be brought up largely in the hands of employees, and later in life his daughter committed suicide and his sons are in and out of prison on drug charges. He had to face this reality before he died a couple of years ago. I found it sad and it brought home to me how much children need a lot of tender loving care especially by both parents. Money and attention of others cannot replace it!!!

Warm regards Tina

In fact, it is often the case. How hard it has been to combine profession with family life. But, I always keep trying (I have the obligation), althought it is difficult, many times, I have to confess. It is one of the reasons, after a time, because I desire (a lot) holiday period.
