what she is going to do and where she is going to land up.

Being mother is such an amazing feeling but sometimes some career oriented women are afraid of
experiencing such a wonderful gift of God. Even after too many efforts to clear off the dust from the
window of the eyes of people, there is a lot of it still, not allowing us to see through properly. A woman,
if chooses to work even after marriage she is judged and proclaimed as being an “irresponsible mother”.
Look at some of the beliefs that the Indian society has been holding on to, from last many years, related
to misconception handling career and motherhood (for woman).
1. The duties have been Pre-divided

Mothers Day Quotes
In India, unfortunately, even after having been born in a democratic country, we are not free to take our
decisions, and not even how we are going to run our individual households. Every time there will be an
outside interference! Whereas a man is entitled to take care of the household, cook, look after the
children and take good care of other members of the family, the male is responsible to earn bread and
butter for the family.
But, the question is, what if both want to run their household in the reverse order! Ostensibly, the
society will not approve the same, and eventually the family set up will collapse. The couple will finally
end up getting tired off the bullies and plethora of obnoxious comments from the society.
2. Women is not entitled to take her own decision
Mother’s Day

And, if a woman dares to take her own decisions she might be discarded from the society, she might not
be accepted in the society. The way her image has been painted, she is supposed to follow the same
path in her life. The interests, the likings, that she may have developed over the years, she is supposed to
abandon, after she is that part of her life to take up motherhood. In nutshell, she cannot decide on her
own, how she is going to mange her child and work both. The bottom line is, she has to sideline her
career at the end or a war like situation at home is waiting for her.
3. She can be thought of being irresponsible
Mothers Day
People just even look at it in the other way!! Yes, it’s too tough to manage both and when you love the
two things in equal amount, there is a great deal of work you will need to put into it. A mother, when she
chooses to manage both, her child and her work, she should be encouraged and appreciated for the
decision. But, what people start making perception about the woman in India is shockingly astounding.
She will be tagged as being an “irresponsible mother”, for she is giving not willing to stop working after
giving birth to the child.
