To Be or Not To Be

The one BIG question haunting all new mothers is .......
To Be “A Working Mother” or Not To Be
I know of a few friends and acquaintances who did not have to think twice about it… they decided to shun their careers forever.Apparently their kids were their priority.If I think of it that way , then perhaps the term “Working mothers” would never exist because for a mother there cannot be anything more precious than her child.So then the next logical question is what makes the “Working Mothers” get back to their profession.
I guess it must be the passion, the zest, the ardor to go out and prove to the world.
It must be the Sense of pride they are filled with , when they think that they are contributing to the world’s economy albeit in a minuscule way
It must be the sheer delight that they are not restrained within the four walls of the house waiting the whole day for their spouses/kids to get back home.
It must be the justice they owe to themselves and to their talent & education....
the right to live and work like their counterparts...the “Working Fathers
I am here not cribbing of the discrimination society dons between men and women;
rather trying to point the fact that both men and women bear the bruntof the same competition yet ending in two different places, one in the kitchen and the other at the desk.
