Being a Working Woman: I Give Proper Attention to My Little One

The title must trigger all the mothers reading it out, but I should say that’s true. I know this is something difficult, even for the women who do not work. Well, yeah parenting is such a tough task, and I also get to know it when I hold my baby for the first time. Let me tell you all that I am a mother of a five years old girl, and she is so sharp and intelligent. When I was pregnant people make me scared of motherhood and the baby’s errands. I got tensed about how I would manage things as I am a working woman and I have to rejoin after 3 months.

The thing I learned in this duration is how to listen to your heart and follow the brain messages instead of listening to other people. After delivery, I stayed in panic for about 2 weeks, as yes it was the postpartum stress also. But, once I was putting my baby to sleep I just wondered does all of my panics, anxiety, stress, and depression would affect my baby? And my heart says yes!

I am not saying that forget yourself when you become a mum. The thing is when you feel a little soul in you, it automatically builds devotion, in motherhood you are ready to anything for your baby, so why not make the burdens fun as all we are doing is for our little one!

I used to google all the possible ways through which I can handle my postpartum stress, start to take proper diet, and yes exercise. It is important to keep yourself fit and active if you want to make things smooth.

All this keep going, and the time finally arrived, from which I stayed scared before delivery, but, when I learned to manage tasks, I warmly welcome it. I am blessed that I have people around me so there was nothing to get worried about where the baby will stay, but again nothing could replace a mother.

I work on the sleeping patterns of my baby with my sleeping time, feed her after every 2 hours (as I used to set the alarm), and pack her bag before leaving for the office. When I get back I used to do all of her tasks on my own and give complete time. I used to prepare food from my one hand as my daughter on another hand. With time I learned to do things with one hand because I enjoy being with her even if I am working.

Now she is 5, and yes she is too attached to me, she understands that her mother is a working woman, she understands I have to work, and she waits for me. Working moms usually think they cannot handle work, children, and home chores together, but the thing to always consider is, never bring work home as it disturbs your personal life, until there is any urgency. When children see their moms on phone and are stuck with office work they detached from them. This is what I do, I love to spend time with her, when I get back we go for outings with my husband, and we play together, do homework, and it makes me feel good after a tiring day!
