The Biggest question for a working mom:

However we talk about women empowerment and independence, we just cant get over to thinking over a very important decision of our life after kids are born and that is - whether to quit or not.

There are lots of dilemmas that a working mother has to face in her day to day life. We start hitting our self with questions every day; as soon as we wake up, first and foremost is - Is it worth it to leave your little bundle of joy behind in someone else care and leave for work.

Well this is the most difficult question I ask myself everyday, even though I answer myself everyday, still next day again as soon as I wake up this question comes up hitting me again; and this cycle is going on for almost more than 2 years.

In last 2 and half years, so many times I have prepared myself to quit but some hidden power inside me kept me stopping. There are so many questions, needs to be asked before we can take this big step like:

• Am I sure that I will be able to take care of my child better if I quit or I am just doing it out of guilt.
• What would I do when my child starts going to school and get busy with her life, will I regret my decision at that time and again a new question answer round will start altogether.
• Would  I miss my work.
• Would I be able to afford all the luxuries that I have now . One of them is having so many maids around to do every single house hold chore.

 As always with all other things, being a working mom has its own pros and cons, and all these set of questions make decision making process even more difficult. As, I also have so many reasons for not quitting as of now, one and foremost of them is to set an example in from of my daughter that her mother is self dependent and she has to be the same, second reason is my parents after all In India we still live our parents dreams and they definitely want me to be self dependent although I should take proper care of my daughter as well.

Anyways whatever the reason be, I am sure I will be facing this question for many more coming years or till the day I finally take decision and press the send button after drafting a good resignation mail.

I am sure this question must be haunting other moms as well in my situation. Please pour in your thoughts and situation in comment section.
