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.
