Tips to help ease the stress of working parents

Being a parent isn't easy, we're all aware of that. From the life lessons you must teach your children, to simply running them around to soccer practice while still maintaining a happy and healthy homelife it can sometimes be a bit overwhelming.

Tisha Marie Pelletier, founder of the Mom-e Club , says she sometimes felt like her life was spinning out of control and some of her friends didn't understand what she was going through.

The Mom-e Club is a place for women and men to gather together for education, support, encouragement, business relationships and even therapy from other moms that "get it."

Here are some of Pelletier's tips to help you get through the tough times.

1. Don't be afraid to ask for help when you need it - whether it's asking your in-laws to help with child care for a couple hours or meeting with a colleague for business advice, you're never going to get assistance if you don't ask for it.

2. Create a community of supportive peers - whether it's the Mom-e Club, a women in business group, a running club or anything in between, join a group and actively participate. You'll often be surprised at how many other women are facing similar challenges and have great insight to share.

3. Offer your experience to another - it feels good to help people and you'll instantly feel more accomplished than you give yourself credit for once you see that your advice has given someone else a tool they needed to move forward.

4. Celebrate your victories - whether it's calling a friend to get a "hooray for you" or treating yourself to a coffee or bubble bath, it's important to give yourself a pat on the back every once in a while. Many times we dwell on the missteps or setbacks we encounter as mom entrepreneurs and don't give ourselves enough credit for a job well done.
