Do Working Moms Put Their Kids at a Disadvantage?

While juggling work and family isn't always easy, working moms are proud to provide for their families and derive significant personal benefits from achieving their career goals, dealing with intellectually stimulating issues, and spending time in an adult-centered and social environment at work. Just because a woman has a child does not mean that she loses her own interests, ambitions, and goals; by continuing to work working moms maintain their own identity and confidence, and gain a great sense of satisfaction from growing as women as well as moms.

You don't need a medical or science degree to know that when mom is happy the family and the kids are much happier. Moms who work and who continue to invest in themselves and their interests and careers are a lot less likely to experience any type of bitterness over what they might have given up in life because they had kids. And as strong, multi-faceted adults they are incredibly positive role models for their children, teaching them the value of hard work, pursuing your goals and interests, and developing many different parts of yourself as a person.
