The ability to manage their own needs against family requirements is something that many women perform daily. Here is an example of my maternal aunt. She is a software engineer and the single mother of two children. She wakes up at 5 a.m. and practices yoga before the children wake up. During the day, she alternates between coding and meetings. She solves her children’s homework problems and manages her coding and other classes. The lunchtime walk is dear to her because it is a small but necessary way to deal with the two spheres she occupies. Her evenings are filled with meal preparations and storytelling up until bedtime. Regardless of the tiredness the following day, she invests her later hours into her hobbies and regains comfort in individual interests. Being a single mother, it is difficult for her to manage all spheres while healing from the emotional turmoil. My aunt’s case portrays the passion and discipline that mothers bring into practice to excel in their work and care for their families effectively in today’s world.
