Hello Everyone, I'm a wife and a mother of three children. I've always had the go get it personality and drive. I worked a job since I was sixteen years old. I wouldn't feel right if I didn't have a job or somethig to do. I met my husband in college in 1996. To this very day we are furthering our education and building our business. I'm truly blessed to have a man that respect me as a working woman and a nuturing mother. So?utma Büyüsü

(continued from above) As for all those woman putting off having kids because of their precious careers…. I promise that there is life outside of work…. you might just be surprised to see that it takes three times the skills to be a full time mom than to be a full time working person. hats off to all the women in the world who choose to be full time moms – you do a fantastic job.

(continued from above) Of course my salary is also half of what it used to be – making working extra hours even less desirable. after childcare is paid from my salary, there is a meagre amount left. – i have come to the conclusion that the only reason that i choose to go to work is to keep myself from going insane at home. i also feel that i cant give my children all the stimulation at home that they get at the childcare centre – so, happy to pay for that. however- at the end of the day, I am not striving to be the most hardworking and loyal person there is for my firm – I just want to do a decent day's job, and go home at a decent time, without feeling that the world is resting on my shoulders at work – since it is already the case at home. i just want to keep up my personal development, and keep intouch with work issues while my kids are growing up- so that when the time is right for me, that I can focus a bit more on work if I choose to.

hi-I've read the above, and I am a mom. A mom of a two little boys -21 months and 5 months.
I am a chartered accountant. I am getting ready to go back to work in 3 weeks, and must admit that I am quite confused and find it difficult to try and get back my identity after having kids.

After going back to work from my first baby's maternity leave, I went back to work for a couple of days a week. Obviously having to leave earlier than the rest to pick up my child from daycare is what started the feelings of not being perceived as a teamplayer. everyone else works late or extra hours, and generally I just dont choose to do that. when i get home and get the kids to bed, I am exhausted, and not feeling like starting to read up on work issues.

I know many married women having children. Many of them are senior officers. They perform their responsiblies with confidence until they grow aged.

@ StarL It's interesting that you bring up the issue of being ridiculed bc your decision to teach. I am considering opening up a holistic Montessori program/preschool/daycare because it's something I have always ALWAYS wanted to be involved in. But I didnt want to become a teacher because it doesnt pay well and because of potential scrutiny of that decision. And this statement was especially on point: "As for society, I think we should educate society to be more respectful, tolerant and accepting about the changes that human beings, (women in particular) go through" Ginger's last blog post..Gas Prices Are Down But Are They Tied To The Elections?
