What is your career plan?
I am a full time mother.
My sons are in their twenties, already left the nest to build their own lives. And my daughter is fourteen, a tender, critical age that needs a mother more than a mother needs a career. ( That’s my view.)
Honestly, I like to keep my first and forever career; Mother.
It happened when the idea of starting another career popped into my head. But then things usually didn’t work out; sometimes because of distance or flexibility, and honestly most of the time because of priorities.
That’s why I decided to pursue postgraduate studies, which I’ve found more flexible and enjoyable.
But that doesn’t mean I don’t have plans for my career.
Actually, when my boys moved out, I started a new plan that lets me enjoy every moment of it:
to relax more,
to write more,
to read more,
and to not be bothered when the wardrobe door burst open with a scream, pushing the fighting clothes out.
With full-time mother thoughts,
Nahla
