Watching Mum work hard made me do the same. I've watched her since I was little, and I've picked up on how hard she works and the fire she has in her belly.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I always tried to do things by example, even though I was not a very good mother regarding routines and family life.
My mum actually gave up work to look after my child, which is so touching.
I think, now that I am a mother, I look at other mums like Jo Pavey and just mums that go back to work and work incredibly hard, and I have so much admiration and appreciation for how hard it is.
My dad died when I was three so my mom had to raise four kids on her own, and I think there's a part of me that pulls upon having watched my mom do that our whole lives. She had to make it work.
I try to balance it out on the whole. Being a mum is always the priority. Next, it's taking care of yourself. Right now, I get to only work two days a week - it's a dream. I can't imagine how hard it is for mothers who work 40 hours a week.
Being a mum has made me a lot more responsible, it's not just me anymore. But it's also brought me the most joy ever!
I don't have the hard everyday life that so many working mothers face.
I love being a mum but I do love to work too.
Whenever I feel I am going through my own 'little' challenging moment, I just think about my mom.
Being a mum changed me for the better.
