8 GREAT REASONS


Are you feeling bad that you are not able to be a perfect mom that you want to be? Do not feel about it. Working mom’s guilt is a common occurrence, especially among those who have highly demanding jobs. We shall see a few ways to deal with it in this presentation.

JUST DO NOT WORRY


Think about what motivates you to go to work every day. When you find the right reasons, it will be easier to accept that you are doing what you have to do. You have to trust the choices that you have made for the betterment of your family.

REALISE THE IMPORTANCE OF RIGHT CHOICE


Pat yourself on the back, for you are an independent, successful woman, who can support herself and her family. So what if you can’t witness every single moment your child is going through? Sometimes, even stay-at-home mothers miss the important milestones.

SAVOUR THE MOMENTS YOU HAVE


List out the reasons why you need to work at a demanding job with long hours. This can help you put a lot of things in perspective.

PRIORITIZE YOUR NEEDS


If your relatives and family members make snide comments about how to raise children the right way and why you should be staying at home, then find an excuse to leave the room. Shut negative vibes out of your life.

AVOID PEOPLE WHO MAKE YOU FEEL GUILTY


If you think you can’t play in the sunshine with your kids, scrapbook every living moment and indulge in activities through the day to bring their intelligence quotient to a ‘genius’ level, then you are wrong. You just need to manage your schedules well.

BE REALISTIC AND PRACTICAL


A judicious balance between office and work, plus spending time with the child are what you need to focus on. A working mom should try to manage it all in such a way that she is neither neglecting the work nor feel that her child is being ignored.

MAINTAIN THE RIGHT BALANCE


MOM IS A MOM


HOW DO YOU FEEL


YOUR CHILDREN ARE GOING TO BE SUCCESSFUL


QUALITY TIME


What other mothers are doing is none of your business. Doing what works for you, for your children and your family to stay happy, good humoured and connected is ultimately all that matters. Which is why it’s time to lower the bar to a scalable height, get of f your own back, and reclaim your right to enjoy raising your kids. Doing so won’t hurt your children – will free up precious energy to navigate the journey of nurturing your babies into resourceful, well-rounded, and gloriously imperfect adults!

YOU KNOW WHAT YOU ARE!!


SAY “I’M THE BEST MOM”
