Being a mother is one of the most rewarding jobs anyone can ever wish for, however, being a mother does not mean you are perfect.  Deep down inside there is a hidden desire to aspire to be more than just a babysitter and a woman that everyone goes to when something is wrong. There are mothers who work full-time and that go home and can be great mother’s, then there is me, a part-timer by choice, and when I go home I want to put my child to sleep.  I am selfish in the sense that, I do envy the single woman who has a fast paced career and that goes home to peace and quiet, I am envious of the woman who goes home to a well kept house thanks to the housekeeper and the nanny, of the executive who has a personal assistant that takes care of her needs and runs her errands. I guess all that glitters is not gold, because when I do talk to these people they envy my life.  I guess woman will be selfish no matter what kind of life style they lead and mothers will always have hidden desire to lead a life other than their own, but at the end of the day, when I hold my child close and look in his eyes, I know that I am in the perfect place because there is no other place I’d rather be.
