Most working mothers bear some guilt about balancing home and work. It’s so difficult to be productive on the job and come home and raise kids, too. However, there is a certain kind of mother who has a more specific plight—she didn’t really want kids in the first place. There may be various reasons she had children such as societal pressures, desires of her spouse, and accidental pregnancy Her guilt is particularly difficult because she feels so ambivalent about being a mother. This mother clearly decided, however, once her kids were born that she would do her very best to be a good mother.
