To work or not to work? That is the question

It is advisable that the mother should be at home during the early stages of her kids childhood and then she can go to work when she has gained confidence on her child that they manage by themself.It is advantage not only for the mother but also for the kid, as the mother can update herself with the changes in the outside world.This is my personal experience.

I went through all the articles posted here and at the end of it found that no choice is wrong as long as YOU are comfortable with it and it works for you When I was manning Khazana, the Taj shop at Delhi we would get a large assortment of customers. One would come in look around say "Hello ,anybody home can you show me around" Another customer when greeted with the customary line "May I help you?" would recoil and say "Please leave me alone I''ll get to you if I need you" It takes all sorts to make this world If you decide to work AND raise a family it''s fine If you wish to stay at home and watch your baby grow that too is fine The only golden mantra is YOUR own attitude and choice Whatever you do please do it with a positive attitude to see that you do an excellent job. When we hanker after what is not we tend to bring stress and strife into our own lives and family. We always tend to remember the past or peer into the future Let us live for the present do our best in every situation that comes our way then we are geared to take LIFE hands on and that too on our own terms.

yes it is great to see one''s child grow.The problem arises when the children don''t need you anymore---there is a vacuum and at times it is difficult to start a career at that stage.If one has a reliable arrangement for the children to be looked after one should work.Even society looks at a ecenomically independent woman differently.

Yes. working / not working both have got their own pros and cons. Once the children start attending nursary then the question willbe only How much quality time we can give will help them to grow as good citizens. Above all inspite of supporting the family, say comforts / necessaries / luxuries / whims and fancies, women are responsible for their continued motherhood since ages. Hence I feel women should choose a career wherein she can excel without much stress instead of choosing cahllenging careers with a slogan we are nowhere less....

It all depends how you handle the situation. In today's scenario, one has got to be self-dependent. Yes! Of course, one should devote time at the early stages of kids' childhood, but it doesn't mean 24 hours..round-the-clock devotion. When I delivered, I was with my kid for 2 months and after that I resumed my job. Today he is in nursery and I don't think he has not been brought-up properly. Infact, he has become self-dependent and does most of his work on his own..He very well understands that his mama & papa goes out for work and he makes it a point to get up early in the morning just to say "Bye".. Work is not a hindrance in bringing-up the kids. It is how you devote healthy and positive time with them. A woman should be capable of standing on her own in all adverse situations. Infact, when a woman is capable of handling both the fronts confidently, then the issue of working/non-working woman doesn't arise at all.. This is my personal experience!
