Every Mom is a Working Mom
The mother, in the increasingly frenetic world of today’s day and age has evolved a lot. The reality of being a”working mom,” aka any and every mother, for that matter. Whether she works within the traditional workforce, stays at home or is an amazing player on all fronts — her hard work deserves to be honored and celebrated.
Redefining Work
Work is frequently a 9-to-5 for many, but this view of work seems to do very little justice for the long list of contributions mothers make daily. Mothers are always “working” – managing the domestic front, raising kids. The world of women is so much wider, but their work is often invisible and integral to the worthiness of family.
The Breadwinners and Nurturers
Moms often play multiple roles: the provider, nurturer, cook or maid and teacher and counselor. All these roles add to the rich, chaotic tapestry of family life. CORRECTION: In homes where mothers work, they stand for perseverance and drive Yet on the other hand, stay-at-home mothers also have a major influence in their children’s lives cultivating values and offering emotional support.
The Importance of Recognition
While Mother’s Day is a special day commemorating mothers, celebrating moms should not be confined to one 24-hour period— it’s about honoring her all year long. That is what National Working Moms Day reminds us of, and hopefully for the better. This is a day where we celebrate those who are juggling all the responsibilities of working and family life, whilst also offering our gratitude for their efforts.
Breaking Stereotypes
Dismantling the motherhood myths is a work in progress, with an online movement of moms leading the charge. Moms are no longer living strictly within the confines of their homes, and neither is motherhood. These are vibrant people with unique talents, passions and dreams. Fostering a culture in which the myriad contributions of all moms are understood and revered ensures they will be equally welcomed by generations to come.
Supporting Each Other
Motherhood can be incredibly isolating, but one of the most liberating things is community. They support one another by sharing stories, advice, and encouragement from other moms which help to lift each of them up together as allies in motherhood making sure every mom is a working mom.
Conclusion
In discussing how mothers have influenced the building and shaping of families, we should remember these occasions each day. Every mom needs to be valued, regardless of her decision—to work or stay home and take care of children. Every mom is a working mom, and this holds true in more ways than one.
My friends, show love to all the mothers in your life (we are everywhere) and let support each other as we navigate this amazing journey called motherhood. ❤️
