I always wonder what drives me to work. I do not have very big dreams in my professional career. But is it wrong for women who is a wife and mother of two to have professional aspirations. When ever I miss a small chore at work due to the demands of my profession, I am being labeled as selfish. Earlier I also felt that it was selfishness if I were to attend to my profession without attending the regular house hold chores. And I have struggled my maximum to ensure that I do not miss out on anything at home, even if meant taking a career beating. But now I wonder, as and more I sacrifice the more and more is expected out of me.My profession is not taken seriously by anyone except me.Is there something fundamentally wrong. Is the wrong with me or with people around me. Or is this called the mid career crisis? I am yet to decipher this. But now a days I feel more stressed out and more exhausted as expectations have increased from all corners, hubby feels he is into senior position so he cannot attend to anything at home, parents feel they have grown old and expect me to attend to many things, children feel they need more attention from me, my profession expects more from me, but is there somebody around who really feels and knows what I am going thorough...Yes I can hear the god whisper to me in my dreams and say.. go on I am there with you.
