Chapter 2593: The Child Cannot Understand the Mother's Hard Work
Lin Baiwei was still a little unwilling, "I was almost 40 when I gave birth to Xiaojie. I was an advanced maternal age, and I also had gestational hypertension, which was very dangerous. I went to the hospital to have a miscarriage at seven months. Giving birth to him was really better than me. It’s still difficult.”
It was really a life-threatening situation. Doctors recommended terminating the pregnancy several times because they were afraid that the size would not be preserved by then. Terminating the pregnancy early might still save the adult.
But Lin Baiwei couldn't bear it. It had been seven months and she could feel the baby's fetal movement every day. It was a living life and the continuation of her bloodline. How could she let it go?
In the two months from seven months to the birth, she was worried every day, fearing that the baby would not be born and that she would die. But luckily, she was lucky and gave birth to her son without any danger.
"I only took three months of vacation. The doctor gave me a sick leave note. I could apply for a one-month extension, but it was useless. I was afraid that if I didn't go to work, I would lose my position. But even if I took three months I didn’t go to work for more than a day, and my position was taken away by my subordinates.”
Lin Bai smiled bitterly. At that time, she returned to the company with great enthusiasm and wanted to do something big, but she received a notice from her boss that her position was replaced by a young subordinate, and she became his subordinate. Such a gap How could she bear it? Fortunately, the contract expired quickly. When the time was up, she resigned and moved to her current company.
"This society is unfair to women, especially mothers with children, but you are still successful." Ye Qingqing consoled her.
Lin Bai smiled bitterly, "But I have worked ten times harder than others, leaving early and returning late, flying under the stars. In the past few years, I have slept less than five hours on average. It is common to work overtime. I spend more time on the plane than at home." Even ten men can’t compete with me alone.”
She wiped the corners of her eyes, her voice choked up, "The main reason I work so hard is to give Xiaojie a better platform for growth. I also want to be like other mothers, playing with him every day and telling him bedtime stories at night. , take him out to play on weekends.
But I don’t even have enough sleep time. How can I balance work and family? People who say this must not have children. They don’t know that if a woman wants to achieve something, she must put in more hard work and sweat than a man. Otherwise, she will just can be eliminated. "
Ye Qingqing nodded. She understood Lin Baiwei's mood very well. To achieve her position, she was indeed not an idle person, nor could she just say a few slogans.
To be honest, if a woman wants to have a successful career and accompany her children to grow up, unless she has an enlightened and virtuous husband, it will be really difficult. Even the Iron Lady, Mrs. Thatcher, a capable woman like her, cannot. Achieve a balance between family and career.
The relationship between Mrs. Thatcher and her children was very poor. Her son was not living up to expectations, and her daughter refused to see her even when she died. In terms of parent-child relationship, she was a complete loser.
Therefore, it is really difficult for women to balance family and career. After all, time and energy are limited, and it is impossible to cover everything.
Lin Bai sobbed slightly, and the more he thought about it, the more aggrieved he became, "I worked so hard and paid so much, why can't Xiaojie see my hard work? I am nothing in his heart."
Ye Qingqing took out a tissue and handed it to her, comforting: "Don't blame the child, Xiaojie is only five years old. He can't see your hard work and can't understand it. He only knows that you are not at home to accompany him. Grandma, you can’t use your thinking to understand children.”
