being a working mother is not an easy job. You'll have to balance your time performing your secular job and caring for your family especially the children. Sometimes things blew out of proportion that we become so tired and stressed.. So tired to take charge of the household chores plus the demands of the children and the husband. However it is also so rewarding when one comes home and a lovely kid is right there at the door opening his wide arms to hug and kiss you....

i agree with you. it is not an easy job or role. but if a mom is working, and the dad is working, too, there has to be an understanding in the division of work or house chores.
the trouble is, sometimes, the wives multitask and the husband just waits there for everything to be pressed out, or cleaned out, or finished. some husbands are not even willing to share the burden. what a pity.
but the unequaled joy from the smiles of a child is enough at times to erase the everything that is negative.
good luck.

Husbands who truly love their wives help facilitate household chores. In this era of gender equality where women are also earning, it is but proper that household work should be the concern of both spouses.

Oh yes you are right, I was a work out mom that is very difficult to handle that situation, I used to depend on my neighbors to check on him. Thanks God I am now a full time mom, I help him with his homework and supervise all his activities.

That is so true. there is nothing more rewarding than a hug and affections of our little ones.
Though I may agree with you that being a working mum isn't easy, don't worry, even stay at home mums do have the same complaints. I guess, they have more to complain because other than breaking their backs working inside the house which non stop and taking care of the kids which also can be very tiring, there is something about that personal development that keeps nagging inside their heads, too. wishing they also have a job of their own and earning a money of their own.
I guess, you, working mums have better options than stay at home mum because sometimes you can get out of your house and not worry about the kids for a while. You've got to have a break.

I am always in awe of working moms! How do they do it? I don't have kids and my work alone zaps my energy, after work I'm in no mood to do chores. I really applaud working moms the world over.
