In fact, there is no right or wrong to balance family and children’s education. Just like the American experimental case mentioned in Robert's "Developmental Psychology" about middle childhood, whether the mother is a full-time or a working mother has little impact on the child. The key lies in the mother's satisfaction with her own status.
First of all, as a stay-at-home mother, you have to accept that you have no source of income of your own, which means that you have to rely on your husband for everything. Whether your husband can understand your hard work as a full-time mother and respect the fruits of your labor is particularly important and determines the happiness index of the family.
At the same time, stay-at-home mothers are also faced with being out of touch with society. When you think it is suitable to return to the workplace, you will find that society has progressed too fast and your skills have become a thing of the past.
For the sake of your children, are you able to accept these practical problems?
If mothers believe that everything is focused on their children’s education and are willing to be green leaves on their children’s growth path, then there is no problem in resigning to be a full-time mother, because full-time motherhood is a great “career”.
Secondly, as a working mother, you must have the ability to balance work, family, and children's education issues. Women who balance work and life need a stronger heart than stay-at-home mothers. Not only do you have to face the trivial matters in life and various problems in your children's education, but you also have to do your own job well. But such mothers have their own life circle, do not deviate from society, and can also add value to the family income.
It is worth noting that working mothers can also serve as role models for their children. Their attitude of working hard for the things they like to do and their positive and hard-working spirit will set an example for their children. Children will love their mothers more, respect their mothers, and understand their difficulties.
So, as for whether children should resign when they go to elementary school, people have different opinions. The important thing is to see whether the mother can accept some tests brought by life.
