PART 2
I recollect my childhood days and feel blessed to be always surrounded with the huge family and good neighbours. All my cousins are younger to me and I have seen them grow in front of my eyes since their birth. I have also observed all my aunts how they took intense care of the infant baby. I have seen them in pain too. In fact I remember one of my aunt pulling my leg saying “You start practicing from now.” I would run away when that baby cousin would pee or poo as I felt yuck with that smell. Also I and my elder sister used to tease the babies for their heavy loaded diapers.
Now it is my turn to face the reality and truth. Instead of just reading and listening from others experiences, it is my turn to bring out personal experience practically. Frankly speaking, being ambitious in my life as a hardcore passionate English Teacher, I really miss my work immensely. Since pregnancy, I am on break for many reasons. This has undoubtedly hampered my mental stability. I have never ever spent such long hours at home doing nothing. Pregnancy is causing lot of discomfort and making me feel diffident as I am unable to see my career setting back again. But yes, why I am forgetting that I have to live my motherhood well. So, time and again I have to convince myself for the best motherhood tag and crown I must possess. In fact I must carry motherhood as my new career goal. Earlier motherhood came automatically from within for each woman. But, today there are many many hurdles in front of a woman to take over motherhood as priority especially for working women. It doesn’t come easily into their goals. For this very reason, nowadays young girls of my age (oops! I must call women of my age) don’t opt for marriages as marriage makes way towards bearing a baby and becoming a mother forever. Individual priorities and career take a toll over the wonderful career as a mother. We don’t realise it and we are irritated when our grandparents force us and makes us understand the value of being a mother to someone. We are so self-centric. Here, I just want to highlight that motherhood would undeniably teach us NOT to be SELF-CENTRED.
# STEP FOUR: To become a mother, and to pursue a career in MOTHERHOOD, it is important NOT TO BE SELF-CENTRED.
