Being a modern mom, I can express that it is a bit complicated to exercise a profession efficiently and at the same time be an excellent mother, if I analyze it, my conclusions would be that a balance must be created between both responsibilities, it is difficult to be productive when you are thinking that your child, for example, has an exhibition at school that must be prepared before at home. I spend time away from home, my job sometimes requires time to prepare material, for auditions and other things, but I like to be with my children and support them in their homework as well.

Home Office
I know I am not a perfect mother, definitely, I am not, I can only say that every day I try to improve to give a good upbringing to my children, but I also work outside the home, so I must try harder to take care of the responsibilities at home. Of course, along the way I have met many people who question my parenting methods, especially I have received opinions from people who were raised under strict pressure, strong punishments and have ended up affected in their adult life, so much that they can even cry in the middle of a conference (to give an example), and they blame it on stage fright, but they do not stop to analyze that this, among many other reactions, are the product of the repressive upbringing they themselves had during their childhood. And they pretend that I apply it to my children! You must be kidding!
I follow the positive advice, I prefer to exercise the role of mother from another point of view, without violent repression, to enjoy my children's smiles, to teach them to be good people, to ensure that when they become adults, it does not matter if they obtain a very high academic level, but that they continue to be humble, that they treat others well, that wherever they go, they are well received, that they have the tools within themselves to create and maintain an environment of harmony. That is achieved with a lot of perseverance, daily work and good will!
Of course it is not something simple, although it sounds very nice, there are many mothers who are separated from their partners, and they have to assume the role of father as well, that implies the obligation to generate more income to give economic stability to their family. In some cases, the diversity of roles, the multiple responsibilities, and long working hours, to mention a few aspects. Even more complex is having to set up a home office to be able to attend to several responsibilities almost at the same time. I practice my profession institutionally, but I complement it with work at home, with the intention of being able to be close to my children for more time and accompany them in their activities. The home office can be a great option!
This stage I am living, raising children alone and having the responsibility to meet their needs, in the midst of my professional career, is a difficult stage, but despite everything, wonderful! I enjoy watching them grow, feeling their hugs, their tender kisses, every day they teach me how to be a mom and every sacrifice I make is paid for by those smiles that fill my soul, having them on my lap is the best reward I can have after the exhausting activities I have to share with them!!!!
But at this stage of my life, the most difficult thing is having to deal with people around you who do not put their hand to collaborate, but their tongue to criticize. Therefore, I consider that my biggest challenge in my life as a mother, has been to help children to evolve in the midst of this #HostileEnvironment without them catching so much bad vibes. So I decided to implement the home office so I wouldn't be outside so much. With a computer, plus the necessary documents, I have been able to continue doing the simpler tasks of the office from home.
Having children is the best gift I have received from heaven, I have learned to work in various environments and transform the most complicated environments in an environment suitable for the proper development of children, I hope to continue to fulfill my task until my children are independent and good people despite all the setbacks. God bless our offspring and renew our strength every day to move forward in the formation of the next generations.
