I think everybody is aware of the stress level work can offer but sometimes, some situations at home can also get pretty stressful. Although home should be a place where one comes back after a long day at work to relax and enjoy with the family due to some differences, often people are not able to find that relaxation at home. In fact, some people don’t even want to come back home from work. Reasons may vary, but all are related to stressful situations at home.
Being stressful doesn’t only mean that one is overworked. It means that the mind has too much on it to think about or there is something that is worrisome and has one thinking about it all the time. Family members need to understand each other's weakness and recognize the strength to encourage and empower each other. If respect is missing and there is too much bashing going around the house then it becomes a usual wait for people to stay out of the house most of the times with friends and avoid sitting with the family. This usually occurs in children in their growing age who have a hard time getting their parents to understand their need for privacy. Sometimes, the demands may be irrational but here, the parents should play their part in making them feel comfortable enough to share a meal together at the table.
Likewise, children also fail to understand that parents have a certain place of authority that needs to be given consideration. It's not always important to follow what your heart says, sometimes, it could lead to foolish decisions. Parents do have years of experience and sometimes they know exactly what their kids are going through but the problem arises when they choose to scold instead of explaining.
Here are some simple normal daily activities that can give a boost to a family life:
- Enjoy at least one meal a day together:
With such hectic daily routines and so much competition out there, people rarely get the time to sit together at home. Working hours, as well as the shift, may vary because of which it becomes a little difficult enjoy some time at home together. However, no matter how busy the schedule gets, its always advisable to have at least one meal a day at home, even if it means enjoying an early morning breakfast together before getting out of the house. Talk about what has been up with each other's lives and stay updated about each other's lives. This really gives confidence to individuals who might not be too sure of their abilities at work. Show interest in each other's matters and give out suggestions as well as encouraging remarks.
- When worried, talk it out:
The number one rule of keeping things simple at home is to talk it out and be open to conversations. Some conversations might even make you feel comfortable but its always better to talk it out than keeping it in. Of course, talking also means that one needs to be open to suggestions and advice. To where talking is encouraged, listening is equally encouraged. So keep it simple and don’t shy away from delivering your point.
- Respect each other's personal lives:
This rule is often neglected but honestly, it is the most important one. It’s simple, people don’t like to spend their time in places where they are not respected. Home should be a place where everybody feels welcomed, loved and respected. If these three qualities are missing, there wouldn’t be much of a difference between home and workplace.
- Enjoys each others’ interests:
One of the best ways to stay close to each other is to understand each others’ interests and try to be a part of it. It may seem like a job to you but that really makes families realize that every individual can have distinct interests and what really defines them. Sometimes its fun, sometimes its boring but the point is to spend some quality time together.
I think this is a good, thoughtful read. I can see the insight and something I can use. I have stress at home but home should be a place of sanctuary.
Agreed, ideally it should be
It's hard to not get any stress at home, but I think being able to work through stressful situations with those who you live with is the key to a happy home life.
Great article. I think we can too easily forget that the home life creates such a foundation of peace and love in our own individual identities. We let the mundane day in and day out of it take low priority over numerous other things.
I like the phrase you used of parents typically "scolding instead of explaining." When there's explanation as to why or how actions/attitudes/behaviors are wrong, it empowers them to actually overcome it. A much better way to get to the root of the problem and call them into a higher way of living.
One can learn alot from this, by simply spending time with our families and ought to know what's going on with their lives too. This one is ace
I am glad it was helpful
We need to balance work and family the two should be separated cause stress is real and good communication is essential each time and we should spend more time together enjoying each other.This post came right when l needed it the most
Love this post especially about respecting individual private life .Home is a place of refuge from the worldly stress and sometimes chaos. When one do not feel safe and at ease at home, that could lead to a very unhappy life.
Work Life balance is must for a happy succeful life. We should not bring office tension and work at home. Family is the greatest source of one happiness. Bringing office at home is like spoiling own life. We shoukd spend max time with our family to relax ourselves and rejuvinate ourselves...👍 nice post sameer777...kip it up
wish that was that easy, anyway, keep up the good work.
Buena reflexión amigo excelente
Awesome post thank you for your energy
El estrés en sí no es malo. La Asociación Americana de Psicología lo compara a la tensión de la cuerda de un violín. Si hay muy poca tensión, el sonido será apagado y desafinado; si hay demasiada, será estridente o la cuerda se romperá. Además comenta: “El estrés puede ser el beso de la muerte o la sal de la vida. La cuestión reside realmente en cómo manejarlo”.
Por otro lado, las personas tienen temperamentos distintos y algunas son más saludables que otras. Lo que le provoca tensión a una persona quizás no afecte a otra. Sin embargo, si su rutina lo tensa tanto que no le permite relajarse ni reaccionar bien ante situaciones difíciles, lo más seguro es que padezca estrés crónico.
Hay quienes recurren a las drogas, el alcohol o el tabaco para “manejar” su estrés. Otros modifican sus conductas alimentarias o pasan mucho tiempo frente al televisor o la computadora. No obstante, nada de esto ataca la raíz del problema; al contrario, podría empeorarlo.

I think communication between and among the family member is important. All things should be properly communicated in order to avoid gap between the members and second respect in ones opinion. Everybody deserve to be respected regardless of his or her age. Family members should be given time and place to discussed things to you. do not be authoritarian in rearing your children. they have their own minds also.
I strongly agree with your writing brother .. indeed very many children who become victims due to the act of his parents who do not understand anything post is the best brother
There should be mutual respect ,mutual regard and tolerance for every member within a family
Great article.
This is big problem today everyone is in hury, they just watch their buisness, they dont care about others and I think thats the biggest reason for stress. We should love others but firstly our family, Simply we should spread love! :)
I remember when I realized part of evening rush hour traffic is a lot of people driving slow on purpose because they don't want to go home. Sad
Thank you for such an important post! Many things seem to me as common sense, but I know it is not for many people as stress is taking over peoples life. It is very important to point out what is really meaningful to think about in the daily life. Stress is the cause of most diseases and can cause families to separate. Family is so important and we may have regrets if we dont take time every day to be with each other. Life is just too short for that!
have a beautiful day

Coming from an Asian household where firm parenting is a given and ingrained in the culture, I find this post very important. There have been times when the greatest amount of stress has come from my family when in fact I feel as though your family should be the one taking stress away. It's always easiest to be harsh to the ones closest to you because you're comfortable with them. Your post helped me to remember that I should never take anyone for granted and that I should treasure and show the most attention to those closest to me.
Do not link family with your business, and your business with your family too, and watch success in both fields!
The one meal rule works on so many different levels. Sometimes just being there is all that is important. That may sound like a bad PSA. However, the impact on the subconscious is real.
you didn't just realize that did you? domestic stress is the realist
