To the Working Mom: A Heartfelt Reflection
Hey there, superhero moms! This one’s for you—the multitasking, always-on-the-go, business meeting and soccer practice balancing act. Working is challenging, and raising little ones is no walk in the park. But doing both? That’s a whole new level of hard.
Juggling kids, school schedules, home responsibilities, practices, meetings, playdates, and looming deadlines can sometimes feel like an endless whirlwind. Those color-coded calendars and never-ending to-do lists can become overwhelming pretty quickly.
Let’s be real: working moms are tough cookies. Our days often kick off long before we even step into the office, cramming in a load of laundry or loading the dishwasher, perhaps even redoing that forgotten laundry from two days ago. We might put in 8, 10, or even 12 hours at work before we get to hug our sweet babies again. While we’re away, our minds race with thoughts—everything from answering emails to whipping up cupcakes for school bake sales.
By the time we return home, excitement fills the air as we see our kids’ bright smiles. But let’s admit it: we can be utterly wiped out too. Cooking dinner? Not tonight. Cleaning the bathroom? No thanks. Sometimes, we just want a moment of silence. This doesn’t mean we love our kids any less. Sometimes, Mom just needs a breather before diving back into the world of Paw Patrol and Play-Doh adventures.
Leaving my home every morning is the hardest part of my day. I sneak into my kids’ rooms, plant kisses on their foreheads, and watch them sleep for a few moments. They are my everything; everything I do revolves around them. My job is to support our family and provide for their needs. I don’t save my vacation days for trips; I use them to volunteer at school concerts, attend doctor appointments, and stay involved in their lives. I hate missing out on those small but precious moments, like not being there to see them dash into school or comfort them on a nervous day.
I strive to give my all every single day for my kids. I want them to know that my working doesn’t diminish my love for them. They are my top priority, and that’s a huge reason I choose to work.
Let’s also recognize that stay-at-home moms are equally remarkable. They are multitaskers, planners, and resilient. So, let’s be kind and supportive to each other, regardless of our choices. The next time a fellow mom shares her stress about balancing meetings and Pinterest-worthy treats, cheer her on instead of judging. And when a stay-at-home mom shares her exhaustion from sleepless nights, applaud her efforts as well. We’re all in this together, doing our best, often hanging on by a thread.
I’m a working mom: fierce, resilient, intelligent, exhausted, and filled with love for my kids. And if you’re a stay-at-home mom, you embody those qualities too.
So, let’s lift each other up and keep pushing forward—together!
