Balancing work and parenting is like trying to juggle a career and family life-it's tough to do both well at the same time.

Andre was swamped with work every day, leaving him barely any time for his son. No matter how capable he was, he was still only human and couldn't be in two places at once.

When Henry was a baby, Andre could bring him to the office without too much hassle. Henry's routine was simple: eat, sleep, repeat. With a rocking chair nearby, Andre could work while keeping an ear out for Henry's cries if something was wrong.

But now, things were different. Henry was mobile, crawling around, trying to stand up using the walls for support, and putting everything he could find into his mouth.
