Stay at home moms vs working moms

April 5, 2011 By seeasily Leave a Comment

This argument has been going on for years and many people have very strong views on which is best, a working mom or a stay at home mom. I think that it goes without saying that a stay at home mom is best for the children in that there will always be someone there for them and having a stay at home mom will make the children feel more secure.

On the other hand the working moms will argue that they just don’t have a choice but to go out to work as they just can’t afford to stay at home and if they didn’t go out to work they would just not be able to survive. Other working moms readily admit that they love their jobs and staying at home all day with the children would simply drive then mad.

I can’t really see a problem either way as long as the children are loved and cared for, that is all that really matters. I do however feel for the working moms who simply have to go out to work because they couldn’t afford to live otherwise. If you add the fact that many of these working moms are in poorly paid positions and absolutely hate their jobs then it must be a really horrible position to be in.

When these work at home moms then get preached to by the stay at home mom brigade, then I really do feel for them. It really is not a place where I would like to be and wouldn’t it be great if these say at home moms could supplement their income in some way which would allow them to at least cut down their hours and be able to spend some more time at home with their children.

On saying that though, I really believe that whatever time you spend with your children, if it is quality time then that is really all that matters. You may get a stay at home mom who spends all day shouting at her children and not getting involved in anything with them, and then a working mom who spends the shorter time with her children but gets involved with activities and showing them lots of encouragement, If I was a child I know which one that I would prefer and I really believe that working moms should not be given such a hard time of it.

Planning The Working Mom Balance

April 5, 2011 By seeasily Leave a Comment

If you are a working mom it is extremely important that you plan the work life balance or else you will find that you will be spending all of your time working and your family life will most definitely suffer. What this really boils down to is that you must be prepared to say no at work. If your boss asks you to stay late to do some extra work you are going to be faced with a tricky situation but you have got to be prepared to stand up for yourself.

If you start agreeing to every request to work extra you will soon find yourself being expected to stay and in some cases without being asked. At the start of every week you should set out the times that you are going to work and the times that you are not even going to think about work and spend valuable time with the family.

An example could be that you will set aside every Saturday and Sunday as family time along with two evenings in the week. Once this has been decided it will establish boundaries both at home and at work and everyone will know where they stand. There is nothing worse than promising your children that you will be there for them only to turn around at the last minute and let them down.

At the same time your children will also have to respect the fact that they are not to disturb you during the hours you have set aside for work and if that means that you have to stay behind at work, then so be it.

A great idea when planning the working mom balance is to spend time with your children every morning if your schedule can fit it in, many people would say that you should make sure that your schedule can fit it in! Just 10 minutes lying on the bed talking to your children before the day gets under way can go on to have such a positive effect on their lives and 10 minutes is not so hard to fit in, is it?

You will soon realise that is the small things that you may not think are all that important that make all of the difference in your children’s life’s and it is those little things that you should really concentrate on.

Tire Works Offers Ultimate Convenience

April 5, 2011 By seeasily Leave a Comment

In May of 2004, Jeff and Roshie Weightman opened the first Tire Works store in North Las Vegas, Nevada. “One of our main goals with Tire Works was to create a company based on a set of uncompromised values,” explains Tire Works CFO Mrs. Weightman. One of those “uncompromised values” is customer convenience.

“We try our best at Tire Works to be the most convenient tire company, bar none,” says Roshie Weightman. What steps has the Tire Works organization taken to ensure the utmost in customer accessibility? The first component is the convenience of Tire Works store locations. Since opening their first store in 2004, Tire Works now boasts an impressive 14 locations throughout the Las Vegas Valley.

Customers in Arizona will be able to experience the Tire Works difference soon enough. The Weightmans plan to open 9 more Tire Works stores in Las Vegas and even more on into their neighboring state. In addition to conveniently having the many Tire Works stores through out Las Vegas, they recognize most professionals aren’t out of work until the late afternoon. To accommodate them, “Our Tire Works stores are open every day, including Sundays.” says Weightman. “Emergencies happen, and we want to be available at Tire Works at all times!”

Each Tire Works store offers convenient, late evening hours. Tire Works customers are encouraged to come service their vehicle, even if they arrive just before closing time. “We don’t want to turn anyone away from a Tire Works store,” Mrs. Weightman states. “If you can’t make it during our business hours, Tire Works has a drop-off service available.” With the Tire Works drop off service, the company’s ASE (Automated Service Excellence) certified craftsmen will service your vehicle while you’re at work.

“We really tried to cover every angle of convenience at Tire Works,” Weightman professes. “If a customer can’t get back to Tire Works after dropping their car off, we’ll keep it locked in our secure shop overnight.” In this way, the people of Tire Works treat customers like family.

In order to show they value a patron’s time, Tire Works makes sure to have the largest possible selection of tires in stock. “We realize at Tire Works that it’s inconvenient to have to return to a store,” Roshie empathizes. “So Tire Works keeps a huge selection of tires in stock. 3,175 different brands and sizes to be exact!”

If a customer calls and Tire Works should have a tire in stock but they don’t, they will offer the next slightly better tire at the same price. In addition to the convenient number of locations, length of hours and drop-off availability, Tire Works offers a computer reservation system for those who prefer to plan ahead. Tire Works will hold a customer’s tires and set an appointment for them at their convenience.

Finally, the number to reach Tire Works corporate headquarters is posted in every store. If Tire Works can do anything to be more accommodating, they encourage customers to call. “Besides,” Mrs. Weightman concludes, “how can Tire Works truly be the most convenient store if we don’t listen to our customers?”

In May, 2004 Jeff and Roshie Weightman opened the first Tire Works store in North Las Vegas, Nevada. The Weightman’s vision and ambition for Tire Works was clear. Their mission was to support the local community through hands-on involvement and generous donations from Tire Works to programs like Toys For Tots, Christmas Angel, Coats For Kids, Nevada Rape Crisis Center and many more.

Jeff and Roshie Weightman promised that Tire Works would offer the best prices and best service to Las Vegas residents. Tire Works got the message out through television, radio and print advertising, and the public responded. Over the next four years Tire Works grew aggressively as 12 additional stores were opened in the Las Vegas Valley. Today Tire Works is one of the leading independent tire and service dealers in Nevada with more than 150 employees and 14 Tire Works locations throughout the Las Vegas Valley.  The Weightmans are opening 9 more Tire Works stores in Las Vegas, with plans to expand Tire Works into Arizona.

Roshie Weightman serves as the Chief Financial Officer of Tire Works Total Car Care.  Mrs. Weightman is a graduate of San Jose State University with a B.S. in Political Science and a minor in Finance.  She earned a Jurist Doctorate degree in Law from the Santa Clara School of Law and practiced law for 11 years prior to starting a software design company, selling it and then later, co-founding Tire Works. Mrs. Weightman is responsible for the overall growth and development of Tire Works Total Car Care.

Tire Works‘ veteran retail sales expert with more than 25 years of experience in the tire industry, Keith Sullivan, is responsible for Tire Works’ branding and sales efforts.  Mr. Sullivan came to Tire Works from Big O Tires, growing its sales portfolio roughly 50% during his tenure there.
