Full time mum

[deelight]

It's a tough one being a full time mum, giving up a supposedly good corporate job, chuck away the secure money, trade the confines of an AC cubicle to being a harried mum on call 24/7. Not a pretty picture

You're right Phani...it could be more societal conditioning of the accepted definition of being successful. We don't realise it but overtime the lines on what we truly want and what we do to meet societal expectations become so blurred.

"I am sure I will look back on these days fondly. "

My outlook towards life is that I am collector and connoisseur of experiences. Personally for me, the time I spend with my daughter is one of most special and valuable collections (including the moments when the diaper missiles come flying right at my face) , and to a certain extend is toying with the idea of staying at home (at-least par time) to be with my little one. Eventually, I think one needs to only look at her/his casket of memories. As long as it is full of things you can identify with, I am sure one will be happy. And to hell with over-jealous patronising advises. There are merely dried and withered leaves that have fallen down, and needs to be stamped on or swept away.
