I appreciate her sober tone and her kindness, I realize her tension and her urge to maintain her realm, I value her worry and her care and I am grateful for her turmoil and skepticism.
Yes she is a mother!!!
This topic is one that calls forth all manner of wishful fantasies on both sides; people say motherhood is the best feeling ever, excitedly hesitant though the notion of motherhood makes me feel as a full-fledged career option.
The tension of a woman accumulated with the effort of mothering along with the concentration on her career is likely to be in an never – enduring state, but how would it be if motherhood itself was a career choice, surely it would be an option as long as the economic conditions would sustain.
So can motherhood be a career option?
Some wonderful people I know have spent all their lives being just a mother. I mean they leave their education, their career’s, those self centrist dreams all for motherhood, initially reluctant though. I am so cynical at the moment, while I appreciate and urge every single inch of it, right from the labor pain till you get your child married; a broader aspect makes me think motherhood to be as a serious and a full-blown profession.
In today’s point of view, motherhood is experienced by managing work and child with the right set of combination. It all starts from childcare subsidies then corporate culture, then media culture, of course with social expectation along with family outlook, followed by physiological outbursts and at the end your willpower.
Ideological circumstances of modernity, in so called modern mothers sustain particularly when it comes to self hood, decisions to be made and change in priorities comparatively the work of achievement requires self-culture, ambition and drive, motherhood on another hand requires absolute patience and meekness, in fact mother’s drive to care for, relate to and invest in her child.
A career in motherhood fundamentally relates to the drive that powers her achievement rather not being of her children’s but herself. If we read out the requirement of the given career option serenity has to be your ambition and love and devotion towards your child has to be your instinct.
The scope in this career option would make you a successful mother and rather cultivate you to be a distinctive woman that runs from a woman’s drive to a mother drive and her instigation to succeed over all. At the end I guess the intense pleasure of looking at your baby growing is an amalgamation of all the promotions, increments and achievements that you could expect from your career.
The logistics of industrial modernity although cannot be compared with the specialization that sorts a mother into separate spaces dividing mothering from career. Tuff task!!!
