Voidness

Hi Friends,

Here am with a snippet, though not sure if it's worthy enough to receive feedbacks.

Feeling a voidness.....

This thought keeps coming in my mind quite often nowadays.

Is it because am just a SAHM doing just nothing after sending my toddler to school and just cleaning, feeding and taking care of a little kid.

Doing just nothing, other than washing, drying, folding a pile of clothes.

Doing just nothing, after the toddler reaches home, other than making him eat, manage both kids and send him to classes. Again make him finish his home work and get ready for the next day.

Doing just nothing.....

 

Thank you so much Geeta mam for your fb. I have read many of your posts which have given the Op's and the readers to give a thought on your words.

I am already in the process of doing a course, and have given an entrance exam related to it and have also cleared it successfully. Now am waiting for the merit list to be released for under going the admission procedure. Am joining for driving classes in the next few days. And there are few more things on the to do list, though it would take some more time to tick them as well.

Though all these would take some time to set on the track i couldn't resist myself from posting this snippet today. Your words have boosted up my confidence and thank you once again mam.

 

Thank you for your fb. Very true words. I have experienced this situation, not as a parent though but as a child. My parents were working and i have many times thought like this, when i was a kid, "why can't amma just stay at home and take care of me". I used to fuss my mom to drop me in school whenever she had an off. But later had got adjusted to the situation with the pass of time.

Whatever i thought were missed by me on those days made me to quit job when i was about to have my first kid. Again, priority and situation differs as you said.

 

Hi kkrish,

Your fb brought a big smile and also made me feel little proud too .

Whatever you have said is something really great to know. Am not telling this on my behalf alone but your words would make many readers who are travelling in similar situation to feel proud about themselves and also about all the things they do.

No, i don't compare myself with women who work out, as i too know about the pros and cons of it. My mother was a working woman and i know how and what all things she has done for me and the family. She had to sacrifice her sleep, food, comfort and yet many more. I feel proud and happy to be her daughter.

Having said that, yes i do compare myself with women who work at home and also do some other work from home to earn money and self satisfaction. Yet this too has two sides. But my inner self craves to do something to satisfy my own self and feel less dependent on others.

Hope i would travel on that path soon and feel little contented. Thank you so much for making me feel happy.

Happy to know that you have come across my story thread. Please do have a look at the updates when you get time and also please share in your fb.

 

Thank you Viswa Sir for posting your fb here. I have always looked upon you as a person parting knowledge to others not just out of education but also with lot of experience and thought provoking.

Your words have reflected my long lasting feelings and the true reason behind my quitting of job. These were the words i told my mother when i resigned my job. But then i don't blame my mother for working, it's just that my priority, need and circumstances were different from hers.

I feel happy to have posted this thread today. Thank you once again Viswa Sir.
