I was watching this movie post the lull of being an absolute failure at being a mom and I honestly don't know how people do it, everyday.
Ever since my son was born , every second of mine has been a choice, should I do this for me , or do that for my husband or do another for my son's sake. Every choice I make , I regret it at some level for one reason for the other. If I am happy doing something, I feel guilty that my son and husband has been deprived of my time.
Its a constant run and most of the time, no one is happy and you are exhausted. I feel like there is no perfect solution or a so called work life balance that exist. It is always going to be extremely unbalanced and unfair, but you juts got to move on and make choices.
Will you ever be a 100% sure of your choices you make? Small or big, from whether to be there to drop him at school or go to work,to spending time with him or doing the chores. you can never be a 100% sure. You just make a choice and hope that atleast someone is happy with your choice and the others would get over it. But most likely most often the one left extremely unhappy and exhausted at the end of this all is the mom.
Why do we have to have it all? sometimes I wonder. My mom was a stay at home mom and she was happy and always there for us . Why do women have to make a choice to be at home or not to be.
Why are there no career paths designed for a women to have it all.
I wish there were more roles that offered flexibility and more than anything I wish there were more jobs that offered empathy to the constant struggle of a women only trying to have a normal life like man. He can be a father and be great at his work, but why do women often struggle with it all.
