Working MOM woes

I am not pertaining to myself but my sister. She is currently employed in a bank and working herself up in the corporate ladder. His husband, also from the same bank but in a different branch, is the Assistant BM and is in for another round of promotion.

Right now they are staying in our house during work week and they go home to Pampanga every weekends or everytime their work permits. Their five year old daughter is in Pampanga and being taken care of her grandparents (father side of course, since wala na parents namin). Before the school year my brother in law submitted his request for transfer to their provincial bank. The request was first approve but later denied because his position and salary is a bit high already. My sister on the other hand cannot be transferred because she just undergone a training and she is tied up with a 2 year bond. So they have no choice but to really on my brother in law's parents and his aunt in taking care of Aish.

And as the start of the school year, starts my sister's complain. Actually if you sum up her complain evolve in nobody properly guiding and helping her daughter in schooling. I understand her concern but I think you would agree with me into saying its difficult to deal with her concern especially they are staying with her in laws. And those over seeing Aish wellness have passed the stage of being parents to preschoolers.

Now my sister is thinking of a way to resolve this issue. Right now she would be going to Pampanga and tomorrow morning she would be heading back to the office. Quite tiring, I may say but I think this is the only way they can think of right now. I guess this is one of the drawbacks of being a working mom. No matter how much you wanted to be on the side of your offspring there will be a time that work would go in between. I hope my sister would always find strength in dealing will all the woes.

Now, I know how blessed I am to be a stay at home mom. I was even able to lend an ear to my sister.
