I’ve lost count of how many mums think I’m doing something amazing because I am a mother of two who works.
Some have made some pity filled, and almost condescending comment to make (“poor you…etc”), trying to make me feel bad (albeit unsuccessfully) because they don’t work and I choose to work. And other tell me I’m a supermum.
To me, I’m just dong what my mother did – and what more than 50% of women with children aged under five years are doing (according to government statistics).
But according to a recent survey, running a successful home while maintaining thee career of a woman’s dream makes them feel depressed.
Has that happened to you before? Do you feel depressed now? The survey in question was carried out on 1,600 American women – who have similar lives to UK mums, and it is a reminder that the dream of having it all doesn’t mean it will be a walk in the park.
It takes a lot of effort and organisation to get te right balance for you and your families needs, but the key to getting it is working in a way that is best for you! Being full-time employed may be too stressful for some mums, but running a network marketing business may not be. Having a franchise business may not bring out your passion, but your own online business may be great for you!
