Being a working woman and a mom is anything but easy. Dividing your time between work, home, and family comes with a pile of stress that places you in a hole so deep that it is nearly impossible to climb out of.
But as with anything in life, nothing is impossible. In fact, being a working mom is as important as it is stressful.

Here are a few other reasons why being a working mom matters:
1. Career
Whether they are looking after their kids or they were just unlucky in the job market, some women don’t have the luxury of exploring their professional side. But for those of us who do, we should be thankful for every moment. Building a career (and making your own money) is fulfilling just as it is rewarding.

If you wake up and spend the day (and night) between the four walls of your home with your children, chances are your frustration will get the best of you. Being a working mom helps ensure that you get time for yourself, minus all the interruptions. It also helps create a healthy family dynamic.
3. Better Health
Studies have revealed that mothers who go back to routine work within months of delivery have “more energy, mobility, and less depression by age 40” than those who decide to stay at home. It was also revealed, in another study, that working moms experience less stress and anger than stay-at-home mothers.
