Working mothers’ challenge after maternity
5-10-2018
Al Diyar newspaper wrote today that, at the end of the maternity leave, working mothers wonder which is better, to stay at home and care fulltime for her newborn or return to her regular job? While restarting her career could make her feel guilty for not devoting her time to her child, mothers also fear to quit work which gives them the feeling of accomplishment, and is an effective support for the partner in difficult times. According to Al Diyar, studies have shown that working from home generally affects the well-being and happiness of the employee, who while realizing higher flexibility and independence levels, feels less stable emotionally, and more stressful and exhausted. Despite the exhaustion a job causes, including long working hours and commuting, this work style helps employees in general, and working mothers, in particular, appreciate and enjoy themselves by meeting different people and communicating about different things. A working mother gives an example for her children that there are plentiful opportunities out there, the newspaper argued, adding that this does not necessarily mean neglecting them. It’s about raising independent children through relaying a sense of responsibility but not staying home around the clock. (Al Diyar, October 5, 2018)
