Torn Between Motherhood and Career, pls. advise!!!

they say the most powerful women are those who knows how to juggle between family and career. I met several women who gave up their job to fulfill motherhood but after a few months or years they're secretly yearning to be back in the office or having a mainstream job and feel powerful and in control. i know its not easy but you must learn to prioritize things. but before that asks yourself what u really want. then set a time frame for whatever goal you have. I think whats stopping you is FEAR-fear of the unknown. But let things be.. trust your instinct.

Hello! I would like to hear your thoughts... am a working mom of 2yr. old boy. Currently I'm already 8yrs. of doing the same job. The pay is okay lng but no other benefits except what's mandated by labor however, okay na lng kay di mn jd stressful ang job to the extent nga dugay na jd ko ganahang mo-resign for career advancement but sige lng ug ka-postpone. Anyway, I'm torn if mo-antos na lng ko ug stay sa akong current job even if totally bored nako ky wa na jy challenge and growth sa akong career but if mag-formal schooling na akong boy I would still have the time to focus on tutoring him in his studies. On the other hand, I'm torn if I go for career advancement, problem lng is most of the jobs now are shifting. Wa mn jd ni demand akong bana nga mo-work ko for higher pay jd, he's contented of my present job ky lagi di pressure and okay if mag-school na akng baby. My hubby can still financially provide us. But again, everytime mo work ko mura'g wa na jd koy gana. My heart goes out there in IT Park companies hehehhe. My situation now is like, thinking for the welfare of my boy or thinking for my welfare/career's welfare.... share your thoughts plss...

Question #1-Can your husband provide for your family with-out you working? If yes, then be a full-time mom. Your kid needs you. If no, stay in the job while looking for a job that you will like.
Question #2-Are you happy with your job? If no, don't resign until you find a replacement job that will make you happy.

For the women posting here who prioritized raising their child/children over advancing their careers, the legions of children raised by yayas thank you!

For me Sis.. mas maayo jud na i-think sa nimo si baby... Career advancement is always there and available.. Gamay pa man gud si baby sis.. mas maayo jud na maka focus ka sa pagdako sa imong anak. It's one of the best part of being a mom... to see your child grow and witness every firsts. Kung call center imong gusto sis.. I tell you.. take it from the call center moms here... Dili jud cya maayo. I myself could say that kay akong baby 2 weeks pa gani, nagwork na ko balik coz kaylangan nako ang job. La man sad ko lain padulngan for now kay undergrad man ko. Sakit kaayo sa part sa isa ka mommy na mubiya sa baby most especially during bedtime sa baby kay khbaw jud ka na dapat ikaw ang naa sa iya tapad dili lain na tao..
