Many new and expectant moms struggle with the pressure and stress of deciding to leave their career or continue to work. In todays evolving society women have come a long way, this generation is truly free to choose any career and flourish. But still women are carrying the brunt of home responsibilities, not to say that there are not a number of qualified and wonderful stay at home dads, but the statistics show women still carry most childcare responsibilities in the the home.
Each mom has her own desires for what she feels is right for her, not all women are cookie cutter moms that will sacrifice her own career and time to join the PTA. Now if you choose this path, that is great because in the balance of life we all need to follow our own life purpose and your part is just as important, while for some it may mean forging the way for the future women (our daughters) to thrive.
Regardless of the choices you make it must be a personal one, not based on outside judgement or society dictating what you should do. There is always someone who seems to "know it all", but the truth is you must follow your true self and inner guide, a happy child is truly the most important thing.
There is no right or wrong answer to this question, so don't stress because ultimately you can always change your mind at any time, it's your choice.
Be gentle with yourself, take time to feel and do what is best for you.
