Assalamualaikum warahmatullah..

Today, The Sun published a short-written study titled "CHILDREN HAPPY WITH WORKING MUMS". Its catchy becoz usually studies always give not a favourable result when it comes to working mums and their children. Here we go:

Recently, a published study by SINGAPORE CHILDREN'S SOCIETY stated that, Children of employed mothers are HAPPY, contrary to what people may think, and they feel their mothers OFTEN SPEND TIME with them whether the mother is WORKING OR NOT. :)

It claims that hours spend at the office will NOT AFFECT the emotionla being of the young.

1,800 parents and children (6 - 12 years old) were interviewed. 83% of the youngsters feel happy often or very often. More than 95% - like parents working, and 98% have enough friends.

" Perhaps children dont expect their mums to spend all the time with them", said the senior researcher.

Malay and Indian children said that they spend time more with the parents compared to Chinese maybe because Malay and Indian communities are close-knit.

I bet after reading this you'll say that this study is still very subjective and debatable. I agree. Firstly, i believe that 99% of the samples are Singaporean which is very much different in so many ways with Malaysians.

Sorry guys, if you feel the study is not valid. But the fact is, children are dearest at each mother's heart. They will always be our baby till the end of time. Working or not working; the bottomline is to give the BEST for them. Sorry to say but ONLY mothers* UNDERSTAND mothers.

*not confined to biological mothers
