MOTHER HOOD vs CAREER



So, this is my first article on Baby Chakra and the first thought which came to my mind is what should I write about is what I feel intense most after my second child.
I had always been a working women after completing my academics and always preferred to remain so no matter what happens around me. Even when my first child turned one I resumed my office after a break of almost two years. Those days were never easy. I still remember how I used to hide my self from him and leave for work after he gets engaged in some stuffs but not for too long. Sometimes I had to rush leaving him crying, but with no other option, to reach on time. Days passed and 2 years turned. That is when I switched from full time to half day job.
It was going all smooth until I conceived for the second time, my little one moved to the formal school from the play group.

Then the aura changed in 2020, not only for me but for the whole world, as the pandemic arose tremendously and this COVID 19, still continuing, thrashed away many countries remarkably, India being the one since beginning March. The nationwide lockdown was announced and my due was in mid-Apr.
Then the D-day came finally on 16th Apr and somehow all things went normal till this date. It's been 4+ months now and I had been managing with my two sons, a new phase of life with no turn backs, a full time mother role with no other jobs in hand.

But these 4 months had always left a question for me regularly. What about my paid work? Do I have to start again leaving them behind? Or is there any other option which comes in between.

How should I balance both as they equally stands important for me.

That's when I decide to chose for Freelancer job.
Recently, I picked my writing platform on various sites this being one of them. Here, I just live for myself and count on my time with no other thought in mind and I believe and provoke each proud mother to give a chance to yourself to; know you better. Living for others is good but start with yourself.;My little bundles of joy are my biggest strength and priorities, apart from my better half; and caring in-laws, who allows me to live for it and manage my set of responsibilities elegantly.;
Loving and enjoying being so. Why??? Because, I am a proud mother of two!!
