For most working women, at the least once in their life will face a situation, where they may need to give up their job. Here is wish to share my situation, which turned me a homemaker.
I kept passing days with prayer. But my prayer was always end with confusion. I used to pray for both, to be with my son and to be in job. Finally I left the decision to GOD. On the day to join the job back, I went to office leaving my son in my parent’s place, to find myself restless without my son. Without any second thought, I just wrote a resignation letter and submitted it. I turned jobless in an hour. Everyone got shocked when came to know my decision. But I didn’t feel anything. I were neither happy nor sad.
In the very beginning of my resignation, when situations happen like financial crisis, meeting old friends, facing relatives, I used to self pity myself. When my husband said something, really not meant to hurt me, I used to associate it with my job and used to cry. Lot told me that I were a fool to give up a good job and advised to go back leaving my son in day care. I couldn’t even imagine leaving my son to some unknown person, who just works for money.
Slowly, this pain was gone, when the bond between me and my son started to become stronger day by day. I felt happy, when he searched for me. I felt the meaning of life and the job I sacrificed can never give this. Nothing can give you the pleasure of being with your baby in all his needs. Doing everything for him in person adds value to my life. Whenever I meet a working mother, the first thing she tells me is “Your son is lucky to get a mother like you”. I used to tell, “He is the one who gave meaning to my life”.
I feel proud. I can find a job again. But if I had missed these golden days with my son, I will not find happiness in my entire life.
Thank u friends…. I’m happy that my decision is right
