Parul has brought out what most of us know via her comments. We're most likely first generation working women, and don't imbibe a culture of working moms. And that's why, the guilt of being away from our children eats at us.
While in India, we seem like we'll go the way the Alpha moms are going in the US (drawing a balance between work & home), it's essential that we ensure that our kids inherit a culture of working moms. It's the one way our daughters will use the brains God gave them, and the education we ensured they got. It's also the only way our sons will respect their partners' decisions to work, instead of taking it for granted that if they're earning enough, the woman doesnt 'need' to.
This need to work isnt just financial. It's cerebral, emotional, physical. It builds our confidence to be able to take on the world, travel and meet people of different cultures, and somewhere, pass on richer experiences to our children.
And while we're at it, add to the rocking GDP of a rocking nation! Happy 60th birthday, India. The Super Moms will ensure you remain Super...
