By a Proud Working Mom
I once came across a person who was a CEO, confidently boasting that he never appointed mothers in his company. He arrogantly said, “Who gives jobs to mothers? They’re always occupied with too many things.” As a working mother, those words hit me hard. But instead of feeling defeated, it strengthened my belief: no one manages time and responsibilities better than a mother.
A working mother is not just an employee. She is a planner, a problem-solver, a caregiver, a manager, and a leader—all rolled into one. From waking up early to prepare meals, getting the kids ready, attending office meetings, managing deadlines, checking homework, and still making time to listen to everyone at home, her day is filled with back-to-back tasks. Yet, she rarely complains.
Multitasking isn’t a skill she learns at work—it’s her way of life. She switches roles effortlessly—without applause or recognition. Where others may struggle under pressure, a mother thrives because she’s trained by daily life to handle chaos with calm. She doesn’t just complete tasks; she adds emotion, care, and precision to everything she does.
Mothers bring unique strength to the workplace. They are natural leaders, team players, and excellent at managing time and people. They work with empathy, patience, and sharp focus. Every challenge they face—be it at work or home—only makes them stronger.
So, to that CEO and others who think hiring a mother is a liability, let me say this: Hiring a mother is the best decision a company can make. Because if she can run a home and raise a family while meeting professional goals, she can handle any project with unmatched dedication and strength.
To every working mother reading this—you are not just managing, you are conquering. And never let anyone tell you otherwise.
