It is not a time to question your capabilities, and your strengths, instead, ask Why can't I raise a family and build my career at the same time?

As a working mom, your entire life can feel like a balancing act. From managing your work calendar to checking children's vaccination schedules to their school timetables and your own work targets. Some days are full of joy and sweet surprises, and other days are exhausting and discouraging.

There is never a moment where a working mother isn't striving for balance, in spite of doing all great and fine, every woman feels she is behind in striking that perfect balance between the two. 

We, women, think if we could just be more productive or manage our time better, we would be the perfect mother, passionate wives, and dedicated employees/employers.

Things that every working mother should know:-

  • You are getting the definition of life balance wrong. It’s not a math problem. It’s not doing everything for an equal amount of time—it’s doing the right things at the right time.
  • People expect women to work like they don’t have children, and raise children as if they don’t work. That’s a recipe for mommy guilt.
  • Working makes you a good mom. Research conducted in 2015 found that the children of mothers who work outside the home grew up to be higher achieving and were more likely to share in household chores.

  • You are not selfish because you work; You are selfless because you doing so extra than being a mother.
  • You don't get to be with your kids all the time, but it's also important for them to see you as leaders and there is value in that.
  • Get rid of the guilt. When you're at one place, don't feel bad that you're not at work; when you're at work, don't feel bad that you're not at home.
  • When you start envying a stay-at-home mom, remember, she probably envies you too.
