Many people separate motherhood and vocational interest as two separate entities, but I believe being a mother is not separate from your interest. I do not see motherhood and my career as separate; I see career as just something that I do as a mother. There are women who never have children, but that does not make them less of a woman. If you are a mother who has career interest besides your children, it does not make you less of a mother. Also, if you are a mother who decides that majority of your interest is not to work outside the home, that does not make you more of a mother either.
Perhaps the conflicting views people have on motherhood cause one to feel that they must choose. Moms do not have to choose. Motherhood is a state of being. We all have gifts and talents and a purpose. Perhaps one of the first steps in transcending as a mom is to be confident in who you are.
