I have mentioned that my child is sick. However, I still have to go to the office. Good thing my husband is available to take care of him. I just content myself with those phone calls. I check up almost every hour if he had his milk, took his medicines, and if those medications are helping.
My son had improved and he talked to me over the phone: Mom, please go home, I need you. Oh, I could hear my husband’s laughter in the background. Maybe he was surprised to hear that also. I am touched. My son is five years old and beginning to mature. Most of all, I am glad that he could already appreciate all those things that I am doing for him. Indeed, a mother’s care is no compare.
I told some of my office mates about it. I am a proud Mommy.
Now, my son is begging for me not to go to the office again. Hmmm… he had sensed that I was pleased with what he said about needing me. He is repeating it over and over again. Manipulative? Maybe he just misses me every time that I am not around.
That is the reality working mothers are facing today. No matter how much we want to stay home and take care of our kids, we need to sacrifice. After all, as we always say, what we are doing is also for them.
If given the chance, yes, I want to be a stay at home mother and watch and guide my kid every step of the way.
