This is Help Wanted, the show that makes your work work for you.

I'm Jason Pfeiffer, editor-in-chief of Entrepreneur Magazine.

And I'm money expert Nicole Lapin.

On Tuesdays, Jason and I answer the helpline and help callers solve their work problems.

And on Thursdays, I give you one way to improve your work and build a career or company you love.

And it starts now.

I'm just so tired. I'm just so tired, Jason.

I was going to ask how parenting is going, but I think you just gave me the answer.

I know. And everybody warned me and told me.

But it's like a jet lag tired.

It's like your skin hurts.

It's like when I did the morning show, it's just like you never are not tired.

That's because the thing about parenting that is unlike anything else in your life is the unrelentingness of it.

At work, you have the weekends and then you have after hours.

Not really either.

But you have humans that can talk and like rationalize.

The parenting is literally all the time.

It does not.

And that would be fine if all you had to do

was keep a child alive, which is technically all you have to do. But the problem is that you also

have a life to live and a business to run. So keeping the child alive is also a job that has to get

outsourced to other people. Didn't you just lose one of those people? Oh. Well, you lost your house.
