What are Troubles of a Working Mother

Troubles of a Working Mother





Being a SAHM is full time job which needs you to be expert at doing all things required to run a house. Be it housecleaning, cooking, budgeting, planning occasions, teaching kids etc. Now being a working mother I would not say is more exhaustive but sure is a daunting task too due to variety of factors. Being working mother requires understanding that neither family, nor work can be undermined as well as care needs of growing child and self are to be attended all at once

Here in we will discuss What is troubling working mother?
  • -        The Social thought – In India if a mother returns to work within 6 months of baby she is questioned by innumerable workmates, neighbors, relatives on concerns of how the baby will be managed?. Keeping positive and looking at the whole picture at such time helps a lot 
  • -        The Guilt - Guilt is a feeling which makes us feel negative. Working mom feels guilty of not being with there to tend to needs of the child, not being able to spend time with her family. 
  • -        Missing moments – As kids grows and mothers don’t get to spend enough time with kids. They feel they miss a lot and could not enjoy see their kids grow up. 
  • -        The Decision – most of the time the decision to be SAHM or a working mom is not on mothers to decide bit decided by other members of family and sometimes circumstances. So against her wish a mom may be SAHM or a working mom. "The rise of the women “as they say, and need of double income families does not leave any option for many women so as to say. 
  • -        Support system – If the child care/ domestic staff is not very reliable, it is difficult for working mothers to stay focused on her work. Add to that the guests /relatives that pour in at times on the most busy days 
  • -        The Work- Life balance - Having too much on your plate means having the pressures of the work along with tending to babies needs -- and balancing is not easy 
  • -        House-keeping – taking care of house cleaning, buying grocery, cooking meals and sticking to routines are few of the things that need to be done every day. As chaotic as raising a kid can be, having a super organised  in house is the key here 
  • -        Taking care of self – Ignoring your health and grooming in all the hectic schedule can be stressing further. Taking out some time for self and meditation/exercise may help 
  • -        Taking care of relationships – having a child is said to have immediate negative affect on husband and wife relation over how to handle kids / home and other things. Caring for husband and being loved is important part of relation which must not be neglect over baby

  The Worth of being a working mother depends on person to person, their ambitions, life goals and perspective of life. But whatever you decide both sides have their pros and cons and you can only depend on yourself to decide the best. 

Cheers to all the mothers who make happy family and happy kids
