Mom’s Daily

Last Sunday, 10th July 2005, Yvonne Lee wrote a very heart-warming article in The Sunday Star about her experiences and transition from being a working mom to a full-time mom and now back again, as a working mom.

I met Yvonne during a hi-tea last year. She was an air-stewardess (and still look as gorgeous) and writes part-time. I am sure many moms will be amused with what she said in the article which I had marked in bold:

All this also brings back a familiar ambivalence I faced when I first switched from working life to homemaking. A decade ago, at my peak, I gave up a flying job to play mom 24/7. I recalled my trepidation during the transition. It shocked me that serving an entourage of ministers was breezier than serving one bawling infant!

Optimistically, time has taught me that nature has a way of making things fall into place. I find comfort in knowing that there are plenty of other mothers who are also going through what I’m experiencing now as a back-to- work mum.

To read the full article, go to The Star Online for Yvonne’s article ‘Return of the working woman’.

So, moms, when you are at wits end attending to the little ones, remember that line from Yvonne!
