 Maybe they are proud of my job. Maybe they even show off to their friends about it. Maybe they recognize the things it brings to them and their home.
But what about when they need me while I am at work? What about when they need me to help with their revision? What about any other time they just need me there?
I am a working mom, and striking a balance between these two words can often be very difficult. On the one hand, my work develops my confidence, self-esteem and my independence. On the other, I love my kids; I love them with all my heart and I hate anything that makes them unhappy.
Everything I do is for the sake of my kids. The money I make at work provides for them but the time I sacrifice makes me feel guilty to the point that even hate my job if I feel it competes with their needs.
In many ways, I am happy as a working mom because it engenders my children with strength and confidence. With proper time management, I can compensate for my absence and I know that I would be unhappy as a housewife, which would in turn make me a bad mother.
But how do I control my maternal instincts at work? How can I write when my motherly heartbeat disturbs me so?
