Mother's sacrifice for her child

 

     As I went through all 'Mother's Day' posts on social media, I came across one post saying 'Only giving birth doesn't make you a mom. Dropping everything in your life to make sure your child has a good life makes you a mom.'

WHY? WHO DECIDED THAT?

     In the Era when we are fighting to be equal, to build our independent life, to chase our passion, why are we supposed to drop every effort, sacrifice every dream after giving birth?

Many (not all) women are struggling to balance their professional and personal life these days. Because everyday household chores are not divided with their husband. It's either because women are 'supposed' to do this work or simply because husband 'doesn't know how to do this...' or 'have never done it before...'

     Today, I would like to salute all those mothers who didn't sacrifice their life, either professional or social, just to take care of their child. Who went against the flow, faced and sorted every difficulty along the way, listened to the taunts of relatives and neighbors, maintained balance between professional and work life and most importantly taught their kids to do their work and made them independent.

PS: I am well aware that this is not the case for everyone and many husbands now a days are aware of the struggle of the women and divide house work. Do not get triggered.
