“A Juggle Between A Mom And An Independent Woman”
One constant question that juggles into my mind, nowadays is, can I be a good mother along with a working woman? It’s been almost four years since I left my job. I have a 3-year-old daughter, who recently started going to school. Now I am getting some time for myself, to think about what I am up to.
Almost 4 years are gone, I have dedicated myself fully to my family, doing household chores, taking care of my loved one. This was the only goal of my life but now I want something for myself, for me. I had worked with MNCs for over 6 years. I was independent, I was happy. It doesn’t mean that I am not happy now. I have a beautiful family, a loving husband, and a beautiful daughter.
A few weeks back I decided that I will find a job for myself. I had updated my CV, also got few calls. But my 4-year gap is a hindrance. I was in the process of job search, then suddenly my daughter started falling ill. She had fever 3 times in the last 2 weeks, might be because of weather or her new school routine. She doesn’t like going to school very much. Then suddenly I was taken aback.
I want to work, I want to earn, I want to be an independent woman but at the same time I want to take care of my family. I am a bit worried if working for 9 hours will affect my family? Am I be able to cope up with the things? What about my daughter? How will she adjust to a daycare? Am I getting mean?
All the working mum, how do you do that? What’s your take on this? I have so many questions and I am looking for answers from you. Your thoughts can motivate me to get out of this instance.
