10 things you should never say to a working mom

More and more women are going out to work, whether out of necessity or for personal fulfillment, and sometimes we judge them without knowing. Let’s appreciate more the effort that many mothers make by leaving home to go to work. 1.- Don’t judge her for leaving her children in the hands of others: They love them just like any other mom, the decision to work was not easy, and finding someone capable enough to trust them with was much harder. 2.- You are rejecting your best opportunities: Behind that rejection is quality time with her children and partner; maybe she misses that opportunity, but there will be others, family time is more valuable. 3.- You stop being a housewife when you go to work: Big mistake, she returns to her second job when she gets home to “rest” and sleeps less to make the most of her time: tidying up, washing, cleaning, etc. 4.- You don’t spend time with your children: They feel guilty for not being able to spend more time with them, but they will always put them first, even before themselves, as they sacrifice their time to attend to their children’s needs. 5.- Your desk is a mess: When she has to do her work, pay bills, check that everything at home is running smoothly in her absence, and maybe she has to eat something in a hurry without being able to detach from there because she has no other option. (Not everything is justified, but we need to understand them a little) 6.- You are not a housewife: Most of the time what she earns is not enough to pay someone else to help her, so besides going to work, they are also housewives, which is unpaid and rarely recognized. 7.- You don’t need a partner: While they may be independent enough, they will always have the need for stable companionship. 8.- You have no need to work: Just because you sometimes have the support of your partner and are financially stable, it doesn’t mean that “you have no need to work,” as personal development in moms is also IMPORTANT. 9.- You are never home: Of course, because besides going to work, she has to be the kids’ chauffeur to take them to ballet class, soccer, or a birthday party, medical appointments, work meetings, or school events. 10.- You never attend school festivals: You have no idea of the stress a mom goes through when she has to choose between a work commitment and a school event; the truth is that we are also smart and prioritize importance. If my child is going to participate, of course, I will do everything possible to be there; if it’s important to him, I won’t leave him alone. But if it’s just another fundraising event that only benefits third parties, I talk to my little ones and clarify from the beginning that it’s impossible to attend and always have someone nearby who can be with them. Looking more closely at the life of a working woman, you can realize that they wear themselves out twice as much; I went through that, and it’s very difficult to organize, but not impossible; it’s just a matter of adapting, what should be recognized is that they have a greater merit. Congratulations to that lawyer, secretary, teacher, doctor, nurse, and others who, besides providing us with a service, hold a more important title: they are MOM!
