When I became a mom, I swore to the ground that I will be the best mom ever by being there for my baby 100% – taking care of his nappy changes, feedings, play time, etc. I wished dearly that I could do the same thing each and every day, just me and my little boy watching Blue’s Clues or Backyardigans.
Though a part of me slowly returned to working part time and eventually I found myself working more hours. I always tell my colleagues how there are plenty of opportunities waiting to be grabbed which translates to financial freedom. As a working mom there will be times you feel a pang of guilt (some would make you feel guilty for working rather than changing diapers).
But who wouldn’t be concerned with high inflation rates, increasing tuition fees, and add to that global crisis. There are more reasons now why many moms go to work and earn as much as they can. I even feel I already need prescription glasses for staring too long on computers.I take refuge in knowing that I am maximizing my time preparing for the future and definitely, I feel a sense of achievement for being able to juggle all these roles.
What are your thoughts on being a BUSY working mom?
