When you become a mom, why does every question seem to have only one answer?

"I was driving this morning, fantasizing about a car crashing into my side and taking me out of the sea of misery, not suicide, you know. Just let me brain die for a week. 」

Kate, who once called the wind and rain in the advertising industry, has given birth to a child to return to work, ability is not reduced, after squeezing breast milk rushed to the office, but also to convince stubborn customers, by the boss's attention. However, she also gradually felt that nine months of maternity leave can change a lot of things, another new staff is looking at her position.

Hey, you see, it's not hard to be a mom, although it's a bit out of order, but it's basically in control. Kate plays a mother who tries to strike a balance between work and family in the first two episodes, but it just doesn't feel right, like everyone tells their mother ,"" "Mom has the right to make any decisions", but when mom's standing at the intersection, there's always a force to push yourself in a certain direction, and you're not sure you want to or not, so give you more choices, like there's only one answer.

In the third episode, Kate's dog, which has been in care for more than a decade, bites people, and the family, fearing it will hurt her baby, constantly asks Kate to euthanize the puppy. Standing in the animal clinic, Kate was unable to bear it and finally gave the puppy to her co-workers.

The puppy, like Kate before becoming a mother, has a memory in mind, some "i", always lost, but everyone around you tells you that when the mother should give up something, and you know that you should move forward.

You can mourn the past, you can cry for the past, but remember that your "self" is not completely abandoned, you still have the right to desire, ambition, purpose, in the seemingly no option B choice question, you can always create another possibility.

You really want it, you love the kids, you want to work.

Becoming a mother loses a lot, but also can't deny that the baby broadens your imagination of ability, such as you suddenly feel that you have a lot of courage, can carry a pram in both hands, see the wild black bear dare to fight, because this black bear's roar is no more terrible than the baby crying and crashing. At the same time, the baby also let your life add luster, when the baby laughs, walking, learn the first word, ask you a question you never thought of, your heart can be soft and sweet, more proud of him.

The boss asked her if she wanted to go home soon? She wiped away her tears and her eyes remained firm, saying, "I want to work(I wanna work.) "

You really want it, you love children and you want to work. Perhaps you imagined that becoming a working mother would have to be a second choice between achievement and a child, or you'll miss out on your child for the first time, like Kate. For those who are afraid to experience these conditions, the first thing to know is that even if there are more choices, the present, no matter what decision you make, is bound to be accompanied by regret. And you should ask yourself, "What do I want/ What kind of person do I want to be?" Then clarify where the bottom line is to be able to bear regret.

Some people say they don't want to miss the first word your child says, every step they step, and others, who want to work more, take advantage of every moment they spend with their children for a limited amount of time. No one is better, who is less responsible, because as long as you want, it is great. (Extended Reading: A Must-Study for Working Mothers: No More Guilty for Being Too Busy)
