Work-Life Aplomb For Work From Home Mothers During Pandemic

Abstract

Motherhood is not easy for working mothers. The current environmental scenario has
created a challenge for working mothers, to manage jobs as well as the kids at the same time.
Working women are constantly struggling, maintaining a balance between their personal and
professional lives while at home around their kids all the time. They are striving hard to manage
workload and domestic responsibility. Be it the fatigue or burnout both are high or mothers during
this period, as they find it tough to balance new normal work from home. Generally, work from
home lead to the expansion of work leading to the increase of work/ family conflicts. The added
pressure of work can not only make them exhausted but also put them in guilt of not being able to
spend enough time with kids. The circumstances of the pandemic have placed many parents at a
crossroads to find alternative childcare in order to return to work or otherwise give up their
employment and thus their financial security.
