Wanted: Working Mom!!!

This is exam week already before my kids go on a semestral break from October 27 to November 7. One thing I realized is that it’s really very hard to belong to the Working Moms world. Having an eight to five job most of the time eats up so much of my energy. Well, I wish and I could have plenty of time and energy to watch over my kids, do all sorts of things with them, play with them and most especially look after their studies. My patience tends to wither after a long day at work. Seriously, I get mad and frustrated very easily when my kids do not want to study or review for their test or even just do their assignments. So I tend to shout at them and bring out the monster mom in me. I feel sorry for my kids and my heart breaks when I see my children almost teary-eyed after I reprimand them (though they really didn’t do anything bad).

At times, there are instances where I wanted to be just like those Work at home moms. It’s amazing how they do encounter employers or employment opportunities where they can enjoy their homes with their kids and at the same time earn from it. But I believe, you have to have the same patience and you must have a good tick on home management for one to be a successful work at home mom.

So, for now let me just enjoy what God has given me now since everything is still manageable. I just have to learn to manage myself in terms of my actions towards my kids. Of course, I have to be very, very careful with the words and the reactions that they see in me … for I could make an impression that it’s okay to be that way (be hot-headed).
