FINDING BALANCE AS A 'WORKING MOM'
It’s being at work and feeling guilty about not being at home. Then it’s being at home and feeling guilty about not being at work. The goal of a ‘working mom’ is to balance both the working part and the mom part.
When did that become the goal? Why is it about balance? It’s as though when an effort is put into one role, the other role suffers, like a lose-lose situation.
Why can’t it be about doing well in each of the roles to the best of our ability given our current state, mentally, emotionally, physically?
Who cares about balance? Why not just triple down on what we are damn good at and own who we are?
Call me a dreamer, an unrealistic optimist, someone with rose coloured glasses! Perhaps even call me a privileged, entitled Millennial! But f*ck the guilt! I honestly believe that my generation will be the last group of women who will experience ‘working mom’ guilt.
