It is very difficult to working full-time and not have enough family support.The working mom is torn between domestic chores and office work and it takes superhuman efforts to strike a balance between the two

lucky are those ladies who have loving and understanding inlaws or else leaving the children with maids is pretty dangerous.I too was working a very satisfying job but after the step motherly treatment of my motherinlaw made it impossible to work for me.I wish she had some humanity but anyway but for the betterment of my child i left my job and with full sincerety love and care iam looking after my child and i have no regrets of losing my well paid job

i am working part time from home for the last 15 yrs. Had taken up a job when the kids were very young ans was staying in a joint family, but i am of the opinion that if a mother does not need to be out of the house for the financial requirement then it is best she be at home for the kids as no one can groom and mould your child with the correct values and share an opinion and be there for the child as unconditionally as the mother.Not even he best of grand parents or the best of day care cannot replace the bond the kids build with their mom. this i can vouch for as i have been working and have also experienced being at home and working part time. The latter being very fulfilling though may be the financial benefit is not that great, but the time spent with my kids is worth sacrificing a few material needs. My thumbs up to all moms there who put their kids needs before their own. Always be a mother first then a wife and then come all other obligations be they family or social. Your kids have only you as their confidant they will turn to other means and sourses only when they feel mom has other priorities and that they are secondary. SO OUR KIDS AND THEIR NEEDS COME FIRST ALWAYS!!!!

Yup that is so true. Spending some quality time with kids is a big challenge for working mothers. Especially with mil's being possessive of grand kids.

Its horrible to be a working mom coz children get very little attention and they tend to become insecure. Its ok to take up part time jobs while kids are at school. I feel very guilty to be a working mom but circumstances force me to work with so much rise in inflation.....

Being working lady&mother has so many challenges. First we dont get along with in-laws, as we cant adjust or put-up with all the problems they create. But when baby comes along, we want elders to stay at home to take care. In my case I ended up having my parents caring for my baby for more than a year. Now I am feeling guilty because in this Indian society if parents stay with daughter,son-in-law, they are given all kinds of comments and insults from husband's parents&relatives. Somehow I have convinced my company to give my part-time working option. But that is also not permanent. And I am not comfortable to leave baby with maids. How long I can continue working - I am not sure..!

Earlier i used to work and was very much satisfied with my job,but due to the noncooperative inlaws i had to leave my job.They want all sorts of favours from me but when it comes to looking after my son they wouldnt look after him even for 5 mins they all the more created more problems specially my motherinlaw and her elder daughterinlaw,just they being plain jealous made me quit my job,anyway now iam concentrating on just looking after my kid
