Mother's Guilt

I am working #mother,

I am blessed with two,

Cute small #kids,

When I am at work,

My heart gets stuck in kids,

I always think I should have done this/that,

For my elder/younger kids,

When I am at work I always think,

I should have taught that,

Particular subject #’ concept’

To my students this particular way is unique,

I sometimes do self-talk,

Dear me! Please accept this tough mother’s way of life,

Please be #kind to yourself,

Stop beating yourself up,

Accept that you are a working mother,

And keep walking on waves of #nonlinear life,

With determination and

Confidence.

Oh! working mother,

The guilt you are feeling is normal,

And nothing #new,

It will remain with you forever,

Children at home and persons at work front,

Do not even know the word #” mother’s guilt”

Please substitute the same with work/life balance,

And enjoy some sweet moments for #yourself also,

I wish children at home and persons at work front,

Could realize mother’s guilt,

So that I could partially get relieved,

From heavy emotional #baggage of ” mother’s guilt.”

Work-life balance is a big tool,

In the hands of a working mother,

Which saves mothers from working,

from mother's guilt.
