Last night when I got home my son is lying in the bed he told me that he is dizzy. But I felt that he is not telling the truth because he was not able to finish his worksheets, my initial reaction is to get mad because first he was lying second he was just pretending to feel something to be excused and third he is just lazy to study so he can play all the day. Since I am so tired from work and coming home a little bit late because my car broke down and thinking once again how much damage can cause me, I am not aware that my frustrations burst out to him
When I saw him crying and he went to his lola to pacify and put him into sleep, I feel so guilty how I can do this to my six year old son who is waiting for me the whole day to spend time with me. I feel so helpless at the same time I am so ashamed of myself, I can’t help but to cry. After dinner, I carried him back to our room, I embrace, kiss him many times and I said sorry for being a bad mom and I love him so much.

Before I become a mom I already have this thing in my mind, because deep inside I know I cannot give up my work that easily. If I had to choose, of course without a blink I will choose motherhood over career.
Being a working is mentally and physically challenging, I need to make time for everyone and to be the best. I don’t know how long I will work but being a mom is forever and never ending job.
My guilty feeling serves my inspiration to strive to be the best and focused.
