Being a working-MOM

I'm a working mom juggling with a 7yr old smart-boy and an 8 months old, adorable-gracious daughter at home along with balancing works at home and at office. Waking up a Boy is as hard as cracking a nut. He wakes up bit by bit and it takes a lots of time for him to start his chores on his own. After all the initial arrangements to my son, he gets ready for school and eagerly expects me to wave-off when gets into the bus to school. Then comes one more hectic task of the day, leaving my daughter and moving to my office, always pinches the guilt in me as a mom.

Working at office, dealing with pressure and the demands of work-place along with trying and performing my duties as a wife, mother and daughter-in-law needs a lot of perseverance and patience. Each and every moment is a testing period both at office and at home, balancing and passing these tests at both places is itself a challenging task.

As the day ends at office, routine starts at home. Making my son to do his homework and preparing him for next day's school, spending some quality time with my daughter, cooking, cleaning the house kills the remaining time as fast as it can. And at the end of the day you will be wondering where the HECK!! did I waste my time today.

Fortunately, I'm really blessed to have a wonderful and a caring husband, in-laws who help me in many ways, without their support I would have broken down, longback.

My mom-in-law takes care of a lots of stuff at home helping me, Raj takes care of bills and is helpful in all the ways and there is lot of encouragement from my parents and my sister. Especially I'm really blessed to have Chandru(Raj's brother) as my good friend - someone I can talk about my feelings, and who helps me manage my emotions.

In reality, I enjoy being a working mom because it teaches me every day, some important lessons of life, sometimes at home and sometimes at office. “Right now I am pretty content with my abilities balancing motherhood along with a professional career".

I remember in my childhood, my parents used to tell me and my sister to study hard and to have good independent life, so we can be supportive to our husbands; as my mom was supportive to my dad. so that we can have a happy and a healthy affordable life.

I encourage all the women to utilize their talents. Every women has some hidden talents within, just we need to recognize and utilize it in right direction. I like all women to be independent and supportive to their respective families. But remember, perseverance and patience are the key to Success here.
