Working Mother Dilemma

Being mother is best thing every happening to a woman. Her new role of mother sets in when she has little child in her arms to take care of. Feeling for mother is mixed with that of tiredness, new responsibility, changed attitudes, changed relationship, proud feeling of being parent, Bliss of being with her child.

There we can say working mother gradually evolved from no working from over working over years! So I have divided my article in 3 phases which are purely virtual and put just for understanding evolution of working mother.

Initial phase:

From ancient times our culture as whole has been steady enough to allow woman to fully enjoy role of mother by being at home, be with her family, nurture her family, and just be happy. This new concept of working mother set in early 1900s gradually and very base of this culture started shaking.

Mid phase

There started rise of Working mother who thought proud to start their careers outside of family. In early times there used to be big families who would take care of her child’s needs at home. There lot of people at home to reduce her burden of cooking etc and she used to get more time to be with her children. In medical terms I would like to explain this as Oxytocin producing. Oxytocin is hormone produced in mother which help them stay healthy and happy.

Current phase
Gradually, joint families are disappearing and now working mother is actually like machine making her career, cooking, cleaning, housekeeping, loving her family and just doing everything!!
Earlier as working mother she was able to spend some time with her children when she came home as there was lot of people to do those activities. Now working mother is just always working and has very little time for her kids and herself.

Some working mother even keep their kids in crèche, day care centers which as per me are most dreaded thing every mother can do. My question to all these moms is why are we giving birth to these children then? They neither get good home environment and neither love of their mothers.

All working mothers are now going through this dilemma of whether to continue doing work and provide huge money for her family or like initial phase just be at home and enjoy womanhood which God has given all of us.
This Dilemma may result in her getting depressed, angry, not happy feelings and in total have affect on her married life, her relationship with other people at home.

I ask all working mothers to give a thought to this change in phases and just think over whether you are really happy working as these robots!
Analyze whether your decision of being working mother gives you any happiness, success, chance to enjoy motherhood and then deicide whether to enjoy being home maker.
There are various factors again like support of immediate family members in nurturing child, financial impact, etc. But again Money is least important of all, isn’t? I remember these words I have read somewhere “ Do what you want to do and not what you can do”. This simple logic would keep your healthy, and make your worries vanish and help you enjoy your motherhood and womanhood!!
