"SLC-S24/W2 - Powerful Debate | Love vs Capability".
My beautiful ladies, this time you present us with another lovely topics to debate. Yes, it is a very powerful debate: Love vs Capability.
I tapped at my heart and looked: should mothers be judged for pursuing their careers?
At 8 p.m., an exhausted mother in her busy cubicle turned off her laptop and walked out of the workplace.
Her office work for the day is over, but her heart is heavy. When she entered the house, she found that her little son was on the sofa, with half-closed eyes waiting for her.
As soon as the little kid saw his mom, he ran to her, stretching his hands. Mother carried him and offered her unconditional hug. In that one hug, there was a love that can't be explained in words. But, inside her mind, a storm brews.
For many mothers in the modern world, it is their daily routine. A portion of them try to be independent, chase their dreams, and build a career.
The other portion always likes to stay with their kids. This split world in a mother's heart raises a big question: should society judge mothers for focusing on their profession instead of being with their children full-time?
I would like to invite you to explore both sides with me.
Side one: A good mother put her children first
The critics said, "A good mother puts her children first." Most of the critics believe a mother's main responsibility is raising her kids. They say a good mother is always with their kids, feeds them, helps them with their homework, and cleans their environment. It is true that a hug that they received often from their mothers is worth more than a new toy or a good school.
These critics argue that children need emotional support more than money. They believe that if the mother gives first place to the profession, the child might feel that he may be neglected or unloved.
They said that any career achievement can't bring back any lost moment and also kids grow fast when they stay with their mothers. That means missed birthdays, school plays, and bedtime stories—those are one-time life memories.
Side Two: Dreams also important
A working mother never stopped loving her babies. She worked because she loved her babies. She works because she wants to give them a better life, a secure future, and, most importantly, a good example to her kids. She likes to see her daughter grow up believing a woman can dream too.
This mother loves her kids too; she is busy because she cares about her children.
She too felt guilty when she left the office late. But is it necessary to give a price to the ambition?
A good mother needs to sacrifice all her dreams. A good mother loves, supports, and raises her children; it need not be questioned whether she does it while managing her work or at home. In any way, she fulfills her duties.
Therefore, some question whether a mother can still be referred to as a "perfect mom" if she prioritizes her work above her children.
Now it is your time to think fairly: who will be a perfect mother?
One mother can stay at home and the other mom goes to work for 10 hours. But both love their children equally. It is not only mothers' duty to look after their kids. Even fathers, grandparents, and society have roles to play.
Instead of blaming mothers, support mothers, make flexible hours to work, and provide better childcare services. Mainly stop judging their every move.
They say a good mother never gives the first place to her. It is a funny saying, but who will tell her daughter that her dream is too important? It may be the way the mother showed her daughter through her life.
Even if a mother has a file in hand or is even holding a feeding bottle, a mother's heart never stops her love for her children. She is very capable of loving both worlds.
Then why should we blame a mother for chasing her dreams? We should respect her for balancing both love and capability. Being a good mother means not losing her dreams. But being strong enough to love her child and herself at the same time. That is the real power of the mother.

Hola @senehasa. Que gran entrada nos has compartido, dejando un debate muy poderoso ser madre no implica que se deje de soñar por el contrario se debe soñar en grande y con mirás al bienestar y consolidar la familia en todos los aspectos. Te deseo mucho éxito.
Indeed, women are really courageous and strong. Without fear, we are able to balance any atmosphere. Thank you for stopping by my post.
After reading your post I have reached to a conclusion that a few mothers are taking full advantage 😄They are beating men at every front and yet playing a victim card 😂Jokes apart, you did a great job by bringing reality to the ground through this post.
Thanks a lot for the encouraging words.
Greetings dear ☺️ !
Hi @senehasa . What a great and wonderful post you have shared with us. You create a very powerful and fantastic debate. Mother is a big one blessings of Allah for us. No alternate of mother my dear. If we have mother we have everything. I appreciate your debate dear I like it.
Best of luck dear 🤞.
It is my pleasure, friend.
This is indeed a very powerful and compassionate perspective of mother. It really highlights the fact that a mother's love isn't defined by where she works or how much time she spends at home. It's about the love, support, and sacrifices she makes for her children, no matter what. It's about creating a better future and being a role model, and that's something to be celebrated. Congratulations 🎉👏🏻
Es una publicación muy pertinente para exponer que buscar culpables o juzgar a una madre no es el camino para mejorar la educación de los hijos.
En el corazón de una madre siempre estarán sus hijos pero ella también tiene derecho al ego y a soñar.
No todo lo que hace una madre lo hace por amor a sus hijos. En ocasiones una madre trabaja mucho para satisfacer su propio reconocimiento y valía, pero eso no la hace ni menos madre. Ella, también, tiene el derecho de quererse y hacer algo para ella misma.
El amor a los hijos siempre ha de estar. Eso sí, hay que buscar tiempo de calidad para ellos sin sacrificar el tiempo para sí misma.
Fue un placer leerte. Te deseo lo mejor. Saludos!
