Over the last few years, Indians have seen the growing craze for several international days, for example, Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, Women’s Day and many more honoring days. We say that a mother’s sacrifice, kindness, greatness can never be appreciated in one single day. No matter how old you are, you need your mother at every stage! To adore and define the glory of motherhood we celebrate mother’s day and make our mom feel special on this special day. The love of a mother is a beautiful treasure that we cherish for the lifetime.
The role of a mother has rapidly changed over the time. If we draw a picture of a mother before independence time, we will see a mere female draped in a cotton saree, furrows on her forehead, scrimping while purchasing grocery and endless shouting on her kids. But, when we talk about today’s mother, she is mentally strong, powerful, quick-decision maker, of course with endless love in her heart for her kids. We performed a survey on our Facebook page and you won’t believe 100% vote goes to “Yes, working mothers are better moms.”
Yes, there are times when your child is not well and you have to attend your office meeting, or it’s your child’s performance in school but you have to meet a client on an urgent basis, or maybe your child wishes you to attend his school meeting but you need to meet the deadline of the project! There are various times when working moms have to manage and balance their emotions. Sometimes they also feel that while ascending those ladders in careers, do they really fulfill their role as a mother? That feeling is known as working mom guilt.
As per a recent survey according to an American website Pew Social Trends, 57% of respondents confirmed that they feel guilty every single day. The big question here is WHY? Why do women have to be so full of shame when it comes to earning money and pursuing their career after kids? Their future, the work they are passionate about is equally important to their kids.
This article is all about empowering those working mothers who are real superheroes of our society. On this Mother’s Day, let’s showcase the hard work of those unsung heroes, who are killing their emotions and feeling daily to have a secure future and better life for their family.
Here are eight reasons why working mothers are better moms:
You are a role model for your child
Working moms, you should be proud of that you are setting a trend in the vision of your child. Your kids will analyze in their adulthood that they are kids of a mother who never gave up, who not only succeeded in her career but also inculcated confidence in them. The kids of the next generation will not be knave. They will set you as their role model and will want to be like you. And there is nothing more beautiful than this lovely feeling.
You have the freedom to comply with the requests of your child
As you are an earning member of the family, you can fulfill those small and sometimes big demands of your child. We do not want to say that mothers who do not earn cannot fulfill her kid’s request. The point here is to have financial, emotional and mental freedom. What if your child wants to go out at a hill station on the coming weekend, or he wants to visit a fancy water park, or he wants to celebrate his birthday with his friends at his favorite place. There are lots of small and big favors that your kid will like you to do for him. And if you have the capability to buy him these joys, he will become happy and motivated. Your kid will understand that he is able to have all such fun every now and then because he is having a working mom.
Your child will become economically smart
When your kiddo will see that his mother does not stay at home and goes out, he will surely want to know the reason behind it. After knowing the reason, your child will learn the importance of resources and money. Somewhere, he will become economically smart at a tender stage. Various surveys conducted on children prove that the kids who are having working parents solve money matters quickly than other kids.
Your kids will tend to become more punctual and disciplined
As you will need to juggle between work and home, you will want your kids to be on time so that their daily routine does not hamper your professional life. In this morning bustle, your kids will learn discipline and punctuality at a very early stage which is a very important life lesson. They tend to follow this practice in their lifetime. Your strictness to reach deadlines will teach them the reality of life.
The chances of a good communication with your child will become higher
There are several gadgets, apps, programmes, and devices in the market and these fully capture the mind of our kiddos. If you are going out and working, you will certainly be acquainted with such trending stuff. This will help you and your child to have a topic to talk about and your child will become more candid with you. At that time, you will certainly feel proud that you know the tricky parlance of a 12-year-old.
Your child gets more quality time with you
A detailed Journal of Marriage and Family Study 2015 indicates that it doesn’t matter that a mother is working or not, a child tends to spend the same amount of time with her. When you are working, you will want to improve the quality of time spend with your child. Within those less hour, you will want your child to study, play, talk, and enjoy with you because somewhere in your mind you have that limit. This sometimes does not apply to the kids who every time revolve around their mothers.
Your personality will become fancy among her friends
There comes a time that after continuous and incessant work your reach a level where society creates an aura about your personality and begin giving you respect. This can be the result of your awards and appreciations. At that time, your child’s friend will definitely congratulate him on having a successful mother. Your child will have true words to tell something about you to his friends and teachers. And that feeling will make your child stand out from the crowd. At that time, you will become someone whom your child’s friend would refer to have a career advice. Isn’t that great?
You will have a secured future and it will empower your child
When you are working till your retirement age, it is obvious that you will have much savings and funds after your retirement. It will not only empower you but it will also give a boost to confidence to your child. At that time, you may feel emotionally dependent on your child but not financially for sure. Your kid will also feel some relief as he will have to secure only his future without much ado about your old age. This is the pattern of relaxing parenting style.
After writing all the above details, we can say that if you are a working female and having kids, your life becomes a little bit more hectic than a non-working female. You are a part of that superhero squad who do not have a cape, and you are more powerful than them. This Mother’s Day, forget those countless feelings that you never allowed the world to see; cherish those moments when being a working mom brought some smile your kid’s face; you are that bold woman whose decisions are going to empower your child’s life. You are an angel who flies with her own wings!
Happy Mother’s Day!
