Re: Working Mom or Stay at home mom?
my mum was a stay-home mum till i was about 6.. then we moved to aus and about 7-8 months later, she started work.
Her timings were such that she'd go before we woke up and be back a lil after we got back frmo school.. like maybe around 4.30-5ish..
that gave us kids to clean up and look a lil presentable for mum to come home to.
My mum and me (and my siblings) are really close. We can pretty much tell mum anything. We treat her like a friend rather than a mum.. and she's pretty much been the way since i hit my teen years.
If i had to change anything, Id wish my mum had gotten an education, like maybe in OZ so she wouldnt be so naive... and that maybe we had a home-help.. like someone who would come once a week and clean the house for her.
Mums worked very hard alongside dad to give us the life that we have. My dad has done so much for us as well and he couldnt have without the support of my mum and vice versa.
Us first generation migrants should be thankful to our parents. Thankful for the sacrifices they have made to get us to where we are now. Where they took about 7-8 years to finally get a "nice" car after years of no car or a "bomb", we are forunate enough to be able to get it before marriage.. we should honestly thank Allah for giving us such guardians... they are almost guardian angels i'd say
