Is it easy to be a working Mom?

This is a difficult question; however, I worked throughout all of my sons lives and they appear to have turned out to be decent young men. Some women choose to stay home with their children, I chose to work. If there is a well balanced family life, I believe the mother can work and the children still turn out to be adults who contribute to society.

As a single parent of a 12 year old daughter I could say it's not all that bad. I did feel the pain when I had to leave her to go to work when she was a baby. She makes it easy for me and we have a great relationship.

I really like to salute the working women across the world. It is even harder if you have kids and also have to maintain your family and home. Its really hard to maintain all these things

i think no........ Mom's are really working hard

No, it isn't. To sum it all up: If you are home to much you get the blame, if you work to support your family-you get blamed. No matter what, you will not make everyone happy. All I can say is STAYED PRAYER UP! I raised 11 children and I am down to 2 teenagers left in the home and that's all I did was pray. There is power in a praying mother!!

It is very challenging balancing the demands of a career with parenting. I am somewhat more fortunate in that I work from home, so I have more flexibility than most.

it is not easy for the Mum and father especially the Mum who also is working.

No, it is not easy being a working mom, Children need the nourishment that only a mother can give.

NO! It is never easy to leave your kids and go off to work.

Thanks Essence for sharing.

It's not easy or hard. You just have to be able to balance life. A mothers work is never done whether it's in the office or at home.

Thanks Bimala and Alex!

I don't think its hard or easy.It all depends with the information you have at hand,opportunity you intent to pursue and the time you are able to dedicate.Thanks.

its not easy for everyone...........

Nice to hear from you Brenda! I agree with you completely.

It is not easy to be a working mom. I worked most all of my children's lives and regret not being at home with them. They were sent to babysitters, day care centers and relatives homes so that I could continue to work. No, it is not easy being a working mom. I'm just thankful that my sons turned out as well as they did. I give God the glory for that.

Yes, its multitasking but we mothers love doing this.

i think its not easy for everyone

of coz not easy to be a working mom, you need to have the sense of timing to manage your work and care of family's members. At the same time you need to act as the role of responsible wife, mother, staff and daughter-in-law as well. Everything need to be balance.

i think no........ Mom's are really working hard
