I listen to mix.fm on the way to work. Today's topic was about whether or not a career mom felt guilty to be out working all day while their children are left at home or at nurseries etc. As a mom, this topic intrigued me of course. I can still recalled those first few months when i first had my 1st born child...i resented having to leave her for work and work doesn't seem so fulfilling or to look forward to anymore..this had continued on for quite some time..having to juggle between family, work n my further studies (was doing my master's), i called it a quit when my daughter was 1 yr n 7 mths old..mind you, it was not easy being a full time mom either..i resumed working 3 mths later, realizing that i do not hv to feel guilty for having my own career.
In my humble opinion, i think it is one of the most responsible thing to do to have your own career where you do not only make a living, but also being an economically productive person and giving something back to the community. As career moms, we are also providing a better future for our children, and therefore one should never EVER feel guilty of having to leave their children to their caretakers as long as we always have their best interest in mind.. and as parents, it is indeed the most valuable thing to being able to attend to their needs and to love them endlessly..
