Take my hat off to working Mums

Working Mums should be given awards, accolades, a working mum oscar! I believe that working mums are what holds this country together. Some have their own businesses and some work for large/small companies. Regardless both are pushed to the limit in terms of time and work. Most will admit to being riddled with guilt when their child doesn't want them to leave them at the breakfast club, riddled with guilt when they forget to attend some event at school because their already hectic diary got mixed up, so easily done. But yet in work they have to be the persona of professionalism, work as much as the next to get on, compartmentalise their minds so that when they get into the car after the nursery/school drop off they are in work mode. But what is the toll all this stress takes on a woman? Trying to be breadwinner, cleaner, cook, psychologist, chauffeur, wife and mother. I take my hat off to you the working woman.

Wait, is this Facebook? Next I'm going to see someone posting one of those "share if you think sisters/cousins/aunties/wee wummin that delivers the free paper are the best thing EVAH" things, aren't I?

Still I'm probably just being chippy because I'm going back to work next week after two years of looking after twins and I'm hoping/expecting it will be a massive relief.

Its a lot harder for a lot of people toomuchtooold as its so fast paced, but thats the aspect I love about being a working mum.

that is actually really patronising, i am not 'trying to be' anything, nor am I 'riddled with guilt' we do what we have to do.
