What are the challenges faced by working mothers?

Wow.. Challenges.

1. Getting up very early and cooking and packing boxes for whole family.

2. Getting DD ready and dropping her at school with loads of guilt in mind and thinking hope she will do good at school.

3. Coming to work and staring at the computer for hours.

4. Heading back to school to pick LO who will be super active whereas I am worn out..

5. Spending some quality time wiht LO and getting food ready on table for whole family.

6. Getting LO ready to bed and then finally drifting myself to bed with an alarm on the side for next day.

I consider all these challenges but wait what is the plus.


1. I am financially independant.
2. My kid get to meet others at school. Be active and socialise with all apart from all the learning she does at school.
3. I am not being a load on my DH ( which he never thought I was). I feel proud to contribute to his savings.
4.I am not being bored but got to meet new people and make friends from all over the world.
5. I get a quality Me time.


So considering all the above I am ready for challenges and I am loving what I am doing...

 

Biggest challenge is doing 3 full time jobs in a day
1. Office
2. Child care
3. Cooking, cleaning, laundry, car servicing, gas station, bills, exercise, eye brows, grocery, clothes, shoes, accessories shopping for mother and child, ran out of dish-wash liquid in middle of the week?

 

1. Least bothered spouse.
2. Bothered but non-cooperative spouse.

and

3. The biggest challenge is to make him understand & bring in the change required in him.

 

Hmmm
why does it sound like an answer to "what are the challenges faced by working wives"??

But true if the spouse doesnt help in household chores then life becomes even more challenging to working moms.

OP i think more than the challenges we should be finding the solutions to such challenges.
Like
1)sharing chores with spouse
2)planning before hand the menu for the week.So that you can do the grocery accordingly.
cooking does take up a lot of time if not planned well is what i believe.
Cooking one gravy for 2 days though the dry vegetable/sabzis can be made on daily basis can save a lot of time.
3)laundry....well i think the washing and drying part can be done at home but the ironing takes longer and hence can be given to any laundry shops near by.
4)making the child independent asap.If by the time your kid is 5 and has learnt to dress on his own and to eat on his own then i think that eases a lot of stress.
just my 2 cents
