child & mother relationship

India
January 7, 2009 1:23am CST
I started working when my son was 4 months old.I had faced a very bad time during my pregnency and i wanted to give myself space and freedom .As i started working ,i became financially indepenent,more communicative and relaxed,but started nurturing this feeling that i am neglecting my son.Though I feel i have quality time to spend with him but people from my surroundings started commenting that my son needs me the most than anyone else.Continous hearing of these sorts has developed a feeling of guilt in me.What should i do?

I believe that when you don't have enough funds to take good care of your son people around you will still comment that you are not capable of taking care of your son..my advice is try to get a job that is less time consuming so that you can balance the two...don't ever think of quiting job

It is natural that you'll feel guilty especially there are people commenting about your relationship with your son but don't feel bad about it, anyway you still have the chance to make it up with your kid. Just think of something that you and your son will both enjoy. Being a mother is really a big responsibility but at the same time it's also a big privilege for us, ladies, to experienced such a wonderful feeling of being a mother and a complete woman even being a single parent.
