The Day Care Systems and Disgraced Motherhood of Working Moms: Don't Believe it Till You Experience It
I remember back in 8th grade when one of my teachers was openly expressing his opinion against the day care systems for working mothers and how it is a disgrace to motherhood. Obviously no one knew back then much about me, so i stood up and told him that I'm a baby off day care systems and I find nothing wrong with it. My mother is a doctor and she has an 8 hour job. I will admit I hardly spent more than 6 hours there daily for only a year, but I never for once in my life felt neglected by her. If anything is to be said, I will only say she did and does all that she does for her sons. People can be judgy as much as they want and bad mouth as much as they can, but they don't have the right to.
She spends hours daily in the hospital tending to moms-to-be and making sure other people's babies stay healthy and happy. She sometimes spends nights in the hospital because of emergency cases. First it was the baby phase of us when she had sleepless nights, now this. The excuse changes, but the reason is the same. Love. In this situation, she is sure to miss her kids, so imagine how it is on the mothers to stay away from the kids. Much more than it for the kids to be away from their mother. But no. A lot of people have a problem with working mums in our society. But from what I've experienced, it's the exact opposite of what they say. We, the kids of working mothers, don't ever feel neglected. We don't feel left out. We don't feel inferior to others. We feel proud. Our mothers have the courage to step over the society and say to the world "This is my way of loving my kids, and you don't have a say in it." Sure, it's hard to adjust to this life, but with proper family support, it's possible. Our mothers are the beacon of hope and knights in shining armors ready to slice the world with their swords of love.
My mother is strong. She is loving and will fight the world for her kids. She has the same motherly instincts any mother would have. She works only while we are in school and it has always been this way. She might have left us in the day care for a while, but that was only for us. And everyone has their own expression of love. Some mothers smother their kids with love while some keep it hidden in their silent taunts. It's all about the love with a mother and every breath and every step a mother takes is for the love of her children.
In the end, it's all about a happy family and that is all anyone can ask for. Every mother tires her best to maintain it; stay at home mums have their own ways and working mums have their own. But never ever say they don't love their kids. Because that is all they have, and hurting a mother is the worst thing you can do. So while our mothers are out there working hard to keep us protected, let's take an oath to never judge a mother- any mother- and call it bad motherhood. Because there is no truer and purer love in this world than what a mother has for her child.
P.S. Now that two of us brothers are out of high school and into universities and one is in high school, my mother started her private practice now only to get us the best education possible as education is pretty costly.
