Most of my college classmates and friends are now in abroad or another country.In the past I have been encouraged to work abroad or to another country too since I am also qualified.However, I am hesitant because of my family.Any idea of mothers working to another country? Which do you prefer, mothers get the opportunity of working abroad? or just stay in their own country? Your ideas will be highly appreciated.

Many of my female relatives are working abroad - most of them are mothers. I can say that some have good husbands who were able to look after and raised their children admirably. But there are also some unfortunate ones and their families were shattered. With a good husband and a good family support, a mother can leave her kids. Otherwise, she should stay in the country and take care of her family. What's the use of providing your kids clothes if they can't feel the warmth of a family love? What's the use of building a good shelter for the children when what they really need is the guidance of their mother for them to be victorious in their chosen path? If the parents' income are enough for the families basic needs, then there's no point in aspiring for more and sacrificing the whole well-being of the children.

Between me and my husband, we already made it clear that it is him who will go out of the country to work if there is a need. I will stay in our country to be with my child.
