I mean, I know work looks very different for everyone, but no matter what any of my working mum friends do - from corporate to creative to part time to full time - every single one struggles with the juggle. And I feel like people have no idea about the everyday negotiating and logistics in households. Saying that, I still think the true heroes are the stay at home mums (and single mums). I think most working parents would say that going to work (without your child) feels like a holiday. Getting to commute without having to entertain a baby or toddler on the way? Pure bliss. 🤣 I can't believe I thought mums 'didn't work'. I think that's the biggest con in this patriarchal world. I feel like if it was more common for men to do all this unpaid labour they'd give out medals and knighthoods. 🤣 I was chatting to a friend today about how there's this crazy pressure on mums to achieve the impossible. And it's almost invisible. Obviously this applies to lots of dads too but I'd say the expectation is largely on the mums. Let's take working mums: If you think that a standard job is 9-5, but school or nursery is 9-3/5 the maths just ain't mathing - especially when you consider commuting times. I feel like I'm an a bit of an impossible juggle at the moment with a 3 1/2 month old and work. Especially as I can't leave her due to breastfeeding. It's next to impossible to be the best mum entertaining Ada - especially now she's the age she wants entertaining - whilst keeping to work commitments and deadlines. I also feel like there's an overall lack of empathy or understanding when we talk about this juggle. ("Well don't have kids if you don't want to look after them" "don't be negative" - we hear people say to dismiss the struggles etc). I've noticed to that we're praised for 'doing it all'. When actually, we should celebrate those who don't do it all. Because what's more important than raising the next generation? It's mindblowing society doesn't understand the invisible and almost impossible juggle we go through every day! 💪」6月29日 3時45分
