Job woes?

Recently we heard stories of how bosses discriminate mothers all because they need to balance their priorities between family and work.

Sometimes, in our culture, it's not easy to bring forward the idea that mothers are performing equally as well as non-parents or even those young with no family.

However, sad to say, this is always the impression. Once you have your family and your priorities shifted, that is the end of your career life.

In reality, mothers are the most adaptable human actually. Look at her, how she can manage without enough sleep, how she can still look after the house, how she can still work and perform. Don't you agree!

Do not pity those mothers who are being discriminated by their bosses. In fact, in the many years to come, she will harvest the seeds of her effort... choosing her family before work. Kids can have the love and attention and when they grow up, they will know for sure, their mothers are alongside with them for their babyhood, childhood and more. The ones who need to pity are the children of the bosses. They choose work over them. No doubt they need to earn a living too but their mentality is wrong in enforcing their own values upon others. When the child grows up, how will they feel?

Needless to say, balance your life and work. I put life first because it's more important; if it does not make sense, at least it is to me.

With reference to this issue, do take a look at our previous blog about maternity rights to understand more on your rights as a mother.
