    This statement is not true.
    In traditional times, the role of the women was just to give birth to children and do household work. In every society in the world, the mother is the primary caregiver to their family and the father has the job of putting the food on the table. But in the 21st century a women has many roles, at home she is a gentle and loving caregiver while at her workplace she is a hardworking and dedicated worker.
    Even though there will be times when she might be distressed and might bring some of the pressure of her workplace to her home that doesn’t mean that it will hinder her child’s development. The children who are well developed comes from happy homes, free from emotional and financial stress, where parents have positive attitude towards each other and respect each other and it doesn’t depends on the mother’s working situation. A working woman can easily manage and raise her children by maintaining a proper work life balance and a routine for their children.
    It also promotes open minded thinking in their minds when they see their mothers not sticking to the gender stereotypes and creates a sense of pride among them.

    The possibile risks of working mothers is highly politicized and a heated public debate but in my opinion, in the ongoing recession and people losing their jobs a working mother by bringing in more money and raising their family income will be able to provide a safer and better environment for their children by giving better living conditions and reduced family stress.

    The notion that working mothers hinder their children’s development is not only outdated but also untrue. It is important to debunk such myths, which only add unnecessary guilt and anxiety to already stretched-thin working mothers. The idea of the perfect stay-at-home mom, who spends every waking moment with her child, has long been a standard that society holds against women. But times have changed, and women have fought long and hard to establish their place in the workforce. They should not be subjected to shaming for doing what they need to do.

    Studies have shown that working mothers have a positive impact on their children’s development. They often provide positive role models, teach their children to be independent, and inspire a strong work ethic. The University of Texas found that children with working mothers excel academically, both boys and girls. Moreover, daughters of working mothers are more likely to work themselves and have higher earnings when they grow up.

    Working mothers provide a healthy balance of structure and freedom. Children learn valuable life lessons, such as self-discipline, responsibility, and time management. These children develop better social skills, are more adaptable, and less likely to succumb to gender stereotypes. Contrary to popular belief, working mothers are better able to nurture and care for their children when they are present. They make every moment count and cherish their time with their little ones.

    We live in a modern age, and mothers should not be constrained by outdated societal expectations. It is high time that society celebrates the efforts of working mothers, acknowledges their achievements, and supports them in balancing their work and family life. Women should be able to have a career and raise a family without any judgments.

    In conclusion, it is important to understand that working mothers are just as capable as stay-at-home mothers of providing a loving, caring, and nurturing environment for their children. It is high time that we appreciate and encourage women’s choices, whether they choose to work outside the home or stay at home with their children. In short, mothers are superwomen who can juggle it all, and their children’s development is in good hands, regardless of their employment status.
