Women are continually challenged in society and women have been struggling for ages in a mostly masculine environment. Mother and employee women have an important role to play in our country's development through moulding children into the future. Many mothers now work and retain their dual position as both an employee and a housekeeper with financial help for their family. Working moms are thus mostly depressed and worried about their childcare methods since they can't offer their kid and their house more time.
