Being a mom is truly the best job in the world

-



Being a mom is often referred to as the toughest job in the world, but ask any mother, and she'll likely tell you it's also the most rewarding. As a mom myself, I can attest to the fact that while it may not come with a paycheck, the joy and fulfillment it brings are priceless.

From the moment you hold your child in your arms for the first time, you embark on a journey unlike any other. You become their protector, their teacher, their confidante, and their biggest cheerleader. You witness their first steps, hear their first words, and celebrate every milestone along the way.

Sure, there are sleepless nights, endless laundry piles, and moments of chaos that seem never-ending. But amidst the chaos, there is an overwhelming sense of love and purpose that fills your heart. The joy of seeing your child's face light up with excitement, or feeling their tiny arms wrap around you in a tight hug, makes it all worthwhile.

As a mom, you wear many hats. You're a nurse when they're sick, a chef when they're hungry, and a storyteller when they need comfort. You juggle a million tasks at once, yet somehow, you manage to keep it all together.

Moms do a whole lot of other stuff (including keeping full time jobs) still we manage to hold it down for the family and give our kids the best times, creating memories and raising thoughtful kids. Even as it seems like no one really cares about how mommy is doing and it gets really exhausting, we count it all joy.

But perhaps the most rewarding part of being a mom is watching your child grow into their own person. Seeing them develop their own interests, passions, and personalities is a privilege like no other. And knowing that you played a role in shaping the incredible human being they become fills you with an indescribable sense of pride.

So, while being a mom may not come with a paycheck, the love, joy, and fulfillment it brings are worth more than any amount of money. It truly is the best job in the world, and I wouldn't trade it for anything.

My children, my world.

Why I Stopped Paid Employment

Claudia  I stopped paid employment because you can hardly satisfy a Nigerian employer if you're not suffering on the job. Most organisations here have toxic work culture. People carry their seniority mentality from secondary school into the workplace. I used to overwork (that's literally how we work here). Do all that and more.  While working for Nigerian firms, I thought hardwork was good work till I started working with a Ghanaian firm where you get upto 2weeks to deliver one article yet they pay on time. I shock! A Nigerian company will expect you to deliver 5 to 10 contents (articles) in a week.  How?....& for what? Worst still, if you have a terrible superior your work may never pass. It's more like a "dog eat dog" situation where correction is not done with "your growth" in mind. You'll be feeling drained and looking overused and abused all the time. That's why their HR be like "can you work under pressure?" As if it's a g

  Marriage is often romanticized as a lifelong journey of love, connection, and shared dreams. However, as time goes on, couples might find themselves grappling with an unexpected shift in their relationship dynamics. It's the point where familiarity turns into monotony, intimacy morphs into mere coexistence, and the question arises: at what point does your spouse become your flatmate? This crucial juncture, if left unaddressed, can become a dangerous pitfall for the relationship. Let me share some takes on the signs that signal this transition and insights into how couples can rekindle their connection before it's too late. Personally, once I lose connection it’s as if I am mentally done but is there a way to make adjustments and realign? Of course. Though it is often said that the cordiality of a relationship is usually held down by one person but we all know it takes two to make it work. Where one or both parties are not willing, the union cannot stand. A situation where one

Navigating the Ups and Downs of Life

  Life, with all its twists and turns, often feels like a rollercoaster ride. Just when we think we have it all figured out, it throws us a curveball or takes us on an unexpected loop.  From thrilling highs to challenging lows, navigating life's ups and downs is a journey filled with valuable lessons and opportunities for growth. Life has a way of surprising us when we least expect it. Whether it's a sudden job loss, a health scare, or a broken relationship, curveballs can leave us feeling confused and uncertain about the future.  However, it is during these moments of adversity that we might discover our inner strength and resilience. Instead of resisting change, embracing the curveballs allows us to adapt and evolve. It teaches us to let go of control and embrace the uncertainty of life. While it may be uncomfortable at first, facing challenges head-on ultimately leads to personal growth and self-discovery. Just as life has its curveballs, it also has its floating times—those
