Moms who have dreams

I should honestly say that I joined the bandwagon of being a parent or can call it a society pressure.. Yes sometimes you adhere to all the society pressure and finally realize that it was just not you.The only society pressure I adhered to and still not having any regret would be the role of being a mom.From a career oriented girl to a mom of twins was a journey mixed with a lot of emotions and sacrifices.Feeling emotionally drained because you cant achieve a lot of things which you want to do just because your priority has changed is part of being a mom.How much ever we have modernized,the society is still skewed towards male when it comes to the responsibility called parenting.Recently I heard a statement by someone close to me that moms are always blamed when a child does something wrong.Moms are blamed even when a child falls down,when he/she performs bad and much more. Of course there a lot of fathers who have tried to share the responsibility or who are house husband.The society has to go a long way to accept them.
Many women do not get the necessary support during post partum depression,the consequences of which can last for a long. Advices doesn't help here as each day we deal with a new situation and every parent has to go through the trail and error method to know whats best.We all get charged by words like supermoms,super woman etc.There are a lot of super women out there whose stories we have heard about being successful.We all move ahead hoping that we too shall do something big and have a meaningful life.The percentage of women who finally succeed is very less as everyone do not get the support which is very crucial for their achievement.
All this is immaterial when you see that innocent face of a child.Tomorrow he/she might also look down upon you as just being a mom and not achieving anything.So women be prepared for anything as you have gone through a lot of emotions once you take up this role and that's how woman become emotionally strong.They have already dealt with a lot of emotions that they are now ready to take up anything.We always hear woman are more strong emotionally than men. Yes, they are as they have already gone through a lot of experiments that life throws to them.And yes the statement of a woman who has decided to quit career and take up the responsibility of raising kids are not valued enough as you are simply just a mom.
Many have a lot of views to express similarly.There is no point if you are not heard.There is no point in having regrets later when its too late.Be a catalyst for the change.Speak up and forget society.They dont need the feminism label.All that they need is to be appreciated for what they are doing and support their dreams.If they need to stop dreaming and achieve, they need the support.They need to be heard.
