I was having a discussion and I said ‘lot of moms are forced to quit’ and they said ‘Ya, they make a choice between family and work and decide to quit’
I immediately piped up – ‘No, sorry it was not a choice, there is lack of good support system, increase of micro-aggression both at personal life and professional life, heavy increase in workload both personally and professionally, lack of basic life comforts like lack of sleep, nutrition, exercise and so much more, trust me, it is not a choice, we are just cornered and handed a box of choices to make us feel in control, while in reality we absolutely have no choice’
What can you do from your end to end this? let us start with this, stop telling moms to quit, do your part in helping moms irrespective of their choice, if they even have it.
