The Working Mother

 

 

 

 

·Mothers have to consider many things before making the decision of working or not.

· They need to be clear about their priorities.

· Does the baby and family come first or is a career and financial security of greater importance?

· They have to decide whether they would be happy having others look after their children.

· Mothers need to remember that a job can be very demanding not only in terms of time, but also energy.

· Women spread themselves really thin trying to juggle work life and home life.

·They will have to consider the stress factor of the job because it is not easy to cope with the pressures of a high-stress job and the demands of a baby.

· It would help to find a job that has flexi-hours.

· It will be easier for mothers to be able to stay home on days when there is no other caretaker for the baby or to leave early if there is an emergency with a clear conscience.
