The Seven Days Diary of A Working Mom

Thus, investing in early childhood education and care (ECEC) is beyond gender equity and essential to support early brain development, lay foundations for health and education, and boost future economic and civic engagement for children. Increasing public budget allocations for ECEC will enhance women's employment and foster economic growth (Setyonaluri, et al., 2023).

Day 7: After All, It's A Choice

Dear diary... 

The thing is; I never regretted my decision of juggling between work and being a full-time mom. I was also supported by my husband's involvement.

I realise that being a parent means I have something to sacrifice, whether it's the opportunity to be promoted at work or time for myself. But, it is also a choice that anyone has the right to. 

Looking back, it's not a short journey and I wouldn't want it another way. I hope that everyone that has roles as mother, father, family, government, or society would help working moms care for their children. Because as some may say, 

"It takes a village to raise a child."

Until next time..
