How can I be successful in my career and be a good mother for my child?
Most working mothers have the same conflict, they are trying to balance work and being a good mother. But let me tell you my opinion frankly, it is not possible to be an outstanding professional and at the same time, to be a high-quality mother, but this fact never means that if you have a child, you should cut the line around your job. It is clear that women have the right and can be ambitious and only value their career progress.
Independent women with these personality traits, if they leave their jobs for the sake of their children, it seems that a part of their being will be void forever. But this choice, naturally and definitely, will mean losing the time that they could spend with their children, which is no longer possible due to working. Therefore, you cannot be at the same time going through the steps of progress in your career and have a continuous presence with your child. For this reason, trying to establish a balance between career advancement and motherhood often causes you to feel a lot of shame and guilt; But anyway, these painful experiences are the cost and consequence of your decision! You have to be able to deal with it somehow.
But if you are wondering whether your decision to give priority to your career can hurt your children or not, I must say that they will definitely notice the difference between you and the mothers of their peers and the behaviors that are usually established in society. Maybe one day other children will be thankful that their mother used to cook delicious food for them while writing essays and was always by their side; But your child will definitely appreciate you one day for your unusual, different and disruptive model, as well as your independence and financial achievements.
