The guilty feeling of a working mother requires tremendous patience or, should I say, tolerance to a strong-willed kid. In most situations, leniency compensates for the time that mothers should spend with their children but cannot. Most working moms try to be extra-patient, extra-sweet, and extra-caring when they are with their children. For them, spending at least 48 hours a week with their children should be precious and worthwhile. And, sometimes, the child’s annoying behavior disrupts a mother’s character because of this “working-mom guilt”.
Its an ongoing struggle to be a working mom. The conflicts, the pains, the compromises, the struggles do not come once, or twice or even several times. Working moms experience all these every second of the day that they spend apart from their kids. I should know – I go through my conflicts everyday.
