Have been at home for the last 4 days as was down with Viral. However, these days were very relaxed and nice. My mail access has not been working and hence could not check my mails, so was actually away from work in the literal sense. This proved to be healing and helped me get back on my feet very quickly.
Does our career instill well being or otherwise? This has been the toughest one, especially since Aryan. The grass is perinially greener with the stay-at-home moms. But the ones who have actually ventured to the other side, are usually ridden with compulsion than choice. I have read about the women who have made a choice, rather than follow the fate and chosen to give up their career and take care of children, and are really happy about it. But am yet to meet one.
Maybe these women are interviewed after the worst has passed and were equally regretful when the kids were either more than a handful or were too aloof to care. Maybe is they were asked then, they would have come up with a different response.
But still, all in all I am still wondering, will it work for me? Can I be an ideal homemaker and mom? Can I actually live without my career? Something that has been a part of me since I was a kid.... I can only know for sure after I actually go over to the greener pastures where I will be at home for my family, to cook, make a haven out of my home, love it, relax, glow maybe with the rest, be in shape, look fab even at 40!
Maybe I will know the answers only when I am 40....
