It's really difficult to be a mum and working mum...
That's why so many people nowadays rather be concentrating solely on their careers and chose not to have babies.. or have a baby, quit their job and be a full time housewife...
Reason is very simple.. because you can never be in between.. especially not at the beginning stages of your baby's life..
Juggling between work and family (parents, parents in law, baby, husband) plus not enough slp every night is enough to tire you out...
Government are giving out more baby bonus.. more maternity leaves... childcare leave... to try and encounter more babies... at the same time they are also encountering more females to join the working force... is it enough??? NO! The longer maternity leaves had the mum worrying that she might not lose her job now but she will lose her job when she get back... sure you can sue your employee but the end result will always be "sorry but your job is gone.. look for another one"... the money given is not enough to last till one year.... you have a few good companies with very good benefits for mums such as flexible working hours, work from home etc but can I ask.. how many mums actually get to work in such a firm... less than 50%... most worked for SMES... who ultimately cares about their day to day commercial operations than family.. ultimately the company need to survive.. bottom line period.. who cares about you wanting to spend more time with your family..
Is a balance between all affecting factors in my life achievable at all?
