The term 'working mother' is redundant. ~ Erma Bombeck
Working Mother quotes by Erma Bombeck
Is the working mother selfish ? ~ Jacqueline Scott
Working Mother quotes by Jacqueline Scott
As a working mother, the last thing you need is to be hard on yourself. As a stay-at-home mother, the last thing you need is to be hard on yourself. As a twenty something with no job prospects or life partner in sight, the last thing you need is to be hard on yourself. ~ Karen Finerman
Working Mother quotes by Karen Finerman
There isn't a spare minute in the day. I have spent my life doing everything. I work. I go home. I do the shopping. I cook. Then there's the laundry and the dog. Most of my life, I have been a working mother. And even when I wasn't, I still did it all. ~ Lesley Manville
Working Mother quotes by Lesley Manville
I was too selfish to have a child before I was ready for one, and there's no shame in admitting that. Women should be selfish about our choices, for as long as we have the privilege of being selfish. Selfishness in women isn't the great crime that people like to pretend it is. We are as entitled as men to prioritise ourselves and our desires, and we are as capable as men of knowing what's best for us. Why is everyone so pathologically terrified of selfish women? The word is thrown around like an insult, as if the worst thing a woman could possibly do (aside from being fat, having sex with whomever she pleases and whenever, swearing, having an abortion, drinking alcohol, standing up for herself and being a working mother) is to decide that her life matters.
But women are allowed to be selfish. It shouldn't be considered a 'privilege' to be able to control our own bodies nor should it be treated like a favour done to us by the state. It's a right that, by and large, has been stolen from us and used to keep us in thrall to a paternalistic body that pretends to know what's best for us but is really only interested in maintaining the order that has proved best for them. ~ Clementine Ford
Working Mother quotes by Clementine Ford
I am very career minded, and I think my personality is more suited to America. I am a working mother. ~ Victoria Beckham
Working Mother quotes by Victoria Beckham
Being a working mother is not easy, but I think it helps you choose what's important in your life. If I think about starting a new project
whether it be music, a movie or a fragrance
I always stop and think: Is this something I feel really passionate about? That way, if I'm not at home at least it's for something I really love, and my son can look up to that. ~ Christina Aguilera
Working Mother quotes by Christina Aguilera
My mother was in vaudeville, but after she had her children, she quit working. ~ Dean Stockwell
Working Mother quotes by Dean Stockwell
Gender should not dictate who brings home the bacon and who fries it up in the pan. ~ Liz O'Donnell
Working Mother quotes by Liz O'Donnell
My daughter comes with me everywhere. I don't leave her behind. But it is hard. I mean, I think any working mother will tell you that what kind of falls by the wayside, you know, are the hours of sleep that you wish you had, and all that. I feel incredibly lucky and blessed, but I do sometimes feel like that exorcist lady! ~ Kate Beckinsale
Working Mother quotes by Kate Beckinsale
It definitely puts a strain on family life - I miss them like mad. Being a working mother I've been juggling house and career from day one. I want to hold out for telly for the second half of the year. ~ Louise Jameson
Working Mother quotes by Louise Jameson
Now, here's the real beauty of this contorting contradiction. Both working mothers and stay-at-home mothers get to be failures. The ethos of intensive mothering has lower status in our culture ("stay-at-home mothers are boring"), but occupies a higher moral ground ("working mothers are neglectful"). So, welcome to the latest media catfight: the supposed war between working mothers and stay-at-home mothers. Why analyze all the ways in which our country has failed to support families while inflating the work ethic to the size of the Hindenburg when you can, instead, project this paradox onto what the media have come to call, incessantly, "the mommy wars." The "mommy wars" puts mothers into two, mutually exclusive categories--working mother versus stay-at-home mother, and never the twain shall meet. It goes without saying that they allegedly hate each other's guts. In real life, millions of mothers move between these two categories, have been one and then the other at various different times, creating a mosaic of work and child-rearing practices that bears no resemblance to the supposed ironclad roles suggested by the "mommy wars." Not only does the media catfight pit mother against mother, but it suggests that all women be reduced to their one role--mother--or get cut out of the picture entirely. ~ Susan J. Douglas
Working Mother quotes by Susan J. Douglas
While Mum was a busy working mother, helping my father in his constituency duties and beyond, Lara became my surrogate mum. She fed me almost every supper I ate--from when I was a baby up to about five years old. She changed my nappies, she taught me to speak, then to walk (which, with so much attention from her, of course happened ridiculously early). She taught me how to get dressed and to brush my teeth.
In essence, she got me to do all the things that either she had been too scared to do herself or that just simply intrigued her, such as eating raw bacon or riding a tricycle down a steep hill with no brakes.
I was the best rag doll of a baby brother that she could have ever dreamt of.
It is why we have always been so close. To her, I am still her little baby brother. And I love her for that. But--and this is the big but--growing up with Lara, there was never a moment's peace. Even from day one, as a newborn babe in the hospital's maternity ward, I was paraded around, shown off to anyone and everyone--I was my sister's new "toy." And it never stopped.
It makes me smile now, but I am sure it is why in later life I craved the peace and solitude that mountains and the sea bring. I didn't want to perform for anyone, I just wanted space to grow and find myself among all the madness.
It took a while to understand where this love of the wild came from, but in truth it probably developed from the intimacy found with my father on the shores of Northern Ire ~ Bear Grylls
Working Mother quotes by Bear Grylls
I'm glad that as a 33-year-old working mother, I can still choose to wear a Hello Kitty T-shirt or stay up late scrolling through the Twitter feed of my junior-high crush. ~ Diablo Cody
Working Mother quotes by Diablo Cody
There was a woman on the radio the other day who had wrote a book about how difficult it was in meetings once you're a working mother. She was like 'Oh, You have baby sick on your business suit'. Most people don't have a bloody business suit!!! ~ Alice Nutter
Working Mother quotes by Alice Nutter
What I like about all these giant superhero movies is that they speak to the issues that I'm dealing with - working mother and time management and how to be an interesting, sexual, curious woman in your 40s. ~ Amy Poehler
Working Mother quotes by Amy Poehler
That's a journey I've been on for many years. I mean, being a working mother, realizing that I have to make and find my balance. ~ Donna Karan
Working Mother quotes by Donna Karan
Balance in impossible; memories are better. (TILT-7 Solutions To Be A Guilt-free Working Mom) ~ Marci Fair
Working Mother quotes by Marci Fair
The system isn't working when 12 million people live in hiding, and hundreds of thousands cross our borders illegally each year; when companies hire undocumented immigrants instead of legal citizens to avoid paying overtime or to avoid a union; when communities are terrorized by ICE immigration raids - when nursing mothers are torn from their babies, when children come home from school to find their parents missing, when people are detained without access to legal counsel. When all that's happening, the system just isn't working. ~ Barack Obama
Working Mother quotes by Barack Obama
I had a working mother. She worked for IBM. My dad lived in another town - not very far away, but another town. So food was - I guess food was my friend. ~ John Schneider
Working Mother quotes by John Schneider
You could say that I am the Estee Lauder woman. I'm a working mother; time is valuable to me. I want a good product; I want quality. ~ Aerin Lauder
Working Mother quotes by Aerin Lauder
My mother was a single working mother; she started having children very young. There was a tension inside her about who she wanted to be and what she wanted to do and how she couldn't achieve the things she wanted to. ~ Natalie Merchant
Working Mother quotes by Natalie Merchant
God is always working through you; the important thing is to become conscious and co-operate. ~ Mother Meera
Working Mother quotes by Mother Meera
Then she rushes to pick up Asha from school, where she is known only as "Asha's mom" by the other mothers, who seem to all spend a lot of time together. Somer has no time for the PTA and bake sales. She has no time for herself. Her profession no longer defines her, but neither does being a mother. Both are pieces of her, and yet they don't seem to add up to a whole. ~ Shilpi Somaya Gowda
Working Mother quotes by Shilpi Somaya Gowda
My parents kept the best aspects of the Asian culture, and they Americanized the family. My mother was a great example for me. She was a working mother with a good career. ~ Andrea Jung
Working Mother quotes by Andrea Jung
In a lot of ways I was a generation ahead of my generation; I had a working mother wheneveryone else's mother was staying at home. ~ Patricia C. Wrede
Working Mother quotes by Patricia C. Wrede
After all, the media have been and are the major dispenser of the ideals and norms surrounding motherhood: Millions of us have gone to the media for nuts-and-bolts child-rearing advice. Many of us, in fact, preferred media advice to the advice our mothers gave us. We didn't want to be like our mothers and many of us didn't want to raise our kids the way they raised us (although it turns out they did a pretty good job in the end). Thus beginning in the mid-1970s, working mothers became the most important thing you can become in the United States: a market. And they became a market just as niche marketing was exploding--the rise of cable channels, magazines like Working Mother, Family Life, Child, and Twins, all supported by advertisements geared specifically to the new, modern mother. Increased emphasis on child safety, from car seats to bicycle helmets, increased concerns about Johnny not being able to read, the recognition that mothers bought cars, watched the news, and maybe didn't want to tune into one TV show after the next about male detectives with a cockatoo or some other dumbass mascot saving hapless women--all contributed to new shows, ad campaigns, magazines, and TV news stories geared to mothers, especially affluent, upscale ones. Because of this sheer increase in output and target marketing, mothers were bombarded as never before by media constructions of the good mother. The good mother bought all this stuff to stimulate, protect, educate, and indulge her kids. S ~ Susan J. Douglas
Working Mother quotes by Susan J. Douglas
My mother refused to let me fail. So I insisted. ~ Walker Percy
Working Mother quotes by Walker Percy
I never thought I was going to be an actor. And I never really thought of myself as one. Even though I keep working. I thought I'd just do a wave of movies, and then I'd burn out. They just kept coming together. ~ Paul Walker
Working Mother quotes by Paul Walker
It's like you might have some great scene that you love but for some reason - and you can't necessarily put your finger on it - the movie's not working or it seems slow or ponderous in some way, and even though it has your favorite scene in there, actually the favorite scene is the culprit. That's the painful thing about editing, is trying to locate those things that are holding the movie back and then having the guts to cut them. And it is painful to do it. ~ Neil Burger
Working Mother quotes by Neil Burger
As regards intellectual work it remains a fact, indeed, that great decisions in the realm of thought and momentous discoveries and solutions of problems are only possible to an individual, working in solitude. ~ Sigmund Freud
Working Mother quotes by Sigmund Freud
Yeah. I started using them [SDD-3000s] shortly after first working with Edge on The Unforgettable Fire. Basically, I stole his sound. It wasn't a complicated rig: just a guitar he liked through a Korg SDD-3000 digital delay into a Vox. Three components, mono - that's it. The great thing about the Korgs is its three-position level switch, which lets you hit the amp with about 10 extra dB. It's more overdriven than if you just plugged the guitar straight into the amp, even when it's on bypass. But a lot of the guitar sounds on Achtung Baby were recorded through a Korg A3 effects processor. ~ Daniel Lanois
Working Mother quotes by Daniel Lanois
I cannot repay my fans for what they have done for me, they have given me so much love and that love has taken me to the number 1 position where I am today, the only thing I can do for my fans is to never stop working ~ Shahrukh Khan
Working Mother quotes by Shahrukh Khan
There's a difference between mastering something physical and working with an animal. There's a spiritual component to working with a horse. You're dealing with the spirit of a live animal that thinks and makes decisions. ~ Buck Brannaman
Working Mother quotes by Buck Brannaman
Proactive people make love a verb. Love is something you do: the sacrifices you make, the giving of self, like a mother bringing a newborn into the world... Love is a value that is actualized through loving actions. Proactive people subordinate feeling to values. Love, the feeling, can be recaptured. ~ Stephen R. Covey
Working Mother quotes by Stephen R. Covey
My mother was always deeply attracted to anything medical, and I think she would have loved me to have been a doctor. My father was in the army for 21 years, came out just before I was born. There was no history of showbusiness on either side of the family, but they were completely supportive. ~ Lindsay Duncan
Working Mother quotes by Lindsay Duncan
Working with others makes us much more than we could ever become alone ~ John Wooden
Working Mother quotes by John Wooden
As I once told your mother, I do not accept trying. Trying is not good enough. Change. You can. ~ Jane Lark
Working Mother quotes by Jane Lark
Why don't you go on, Mother dear?' he asked. 'It's such nonsense!' said his mother. 'I believe it would go on for ever.' 'That's just what it did,' said Diamond.' 'What did?' she asked.' 'Why, the river. That's almost the very tune it used to sing. ~ George MacDonald
Working Mother quotes by George MacDonald
If I learned one thing working at Facebook: If users are trying to use your app in a certain way, get out of their way and let them. ~ Dave Morin
Working Mother quotes by Dave Morin
Disasters work like alarm clocks to the world, hence God allows them. They are shouting, 'Wake up! Love! Pray! ~ Criss Jami
Working Mother quotes by Criss Jami
You avoid the hype while you're working, you have to, but the premiere is the one night of the year where you can enjoy it. ~ Tom Felton
Working Mother quotes by Tom Felton
But still, everything is for Jesus; so like that everything is beautiful, even though it is difficult. ~ Mother Teresa
Working Mother quotes by Mother Teresa
We dedicate ourselves to working with our neighbors, near and far, day in and day out, to building that peaceful society in which the tragedies we have known are a bad memory and a continuing warning. ~ Betty Williams
Working Mother quotes by Betty Williams
Did your mother not teach you any manners?" I huff.

"We're. Fucking. Closed. You're fucking welcome. ~ Tara Sivec
Working Mother quotes by Tara Sivec
Expect the unexpected, my mother once said. Because the unexpected most certainly will be expecting you. ~ Marjorie M. Liu
Working Mother quotes by Marjorie M. Liu
I wasn't always minimal. In the early days, I was laying it on as thickly as I could, trying very hard to get it right. But I found that the harder I tried, the more tired whatever it was I was working on looked. And then I grew tired of it as well. ~ Chris Raschka
Working Mother quotes by Chris Raschka
Hoover was incredibly ambitious as a young man. He was highly motivated to succeed in Washington, primarily due to his mother's expectations of him. ~ Leonardo DiCaprio
Working Mother quotes by Leonardo DiCaprio
Our goal is to tell people about the International Space Station. I think very rarely people look up 250 miles and think, What are those guys working on, what are those men and women doing at this moment ... They're living and doing regular things, but also doing incredible work as well. We really want to bring that to people. ~ Soledad O'Brien
Working Mother quotes by Soledad O'Brien
The biggest diease today is not leprosy or tuberculosis, but rather the feeling of being unwanted, uncared for, and deserted by everybody. ~ Mother Teresa
Working Mother quotes by Mother Teresa
Keep still!" Tria was parsistantly kicking back and it seemed to be working "Ow!"
"You three are a resistant bunch aren't you..." The man said angrily "No really how long did it take you to work that out." Agres replied sarcastically ~ Charon Lloyd-Roberts
Working Mother quotes by Charon Lloyd-Roberts
I believe in talent. I know you're not supposed to believe in that anymore because you're supposed to believe if you just work hard you can do anything. That's how you succeed, maybe. But talent is something you're born with. You cannot acquire it by working hard, and you cannot lose it by lying around either. ~ Fran Lebowitz
Working Mother quotes by Fran Lebowitz
A Buddhist is working not just to get paid, but working to advance spiritually. You shouldn't create a syntactical break in your mind between your career and your religious practice. ~ Frederick Lenz
Working Mother quotes by Frederick Lenz
I miss a lot about England when I'm working away, even the slate grey skies. ~ Sean Bean
Working Mother quotes by Sean Bean
Jin rejoins us, and we march on. There are tears streaming down my face now, along with the sweat. They're from the physical pain. They're from all the pain. Sometime since we started across, every last shred of my inner fortification has burned away and i feel everything; all the memories, all of my pushed-down, blocked-out joys and sorrows and regrets lick up and down my insides, matching the searing of my muscles, the agony of a forest burned to the ground, the awfulness of the mother and baby raccoons. I weep and walk and climb and stumble, and my arms and shoulders and abs and back and legs and feet scream. ~ Danielle Younge-Ullman
Working Mother quotes by Danielle Younge-Ullman
The weaving of life between mother and daughter is just like the making of a basket. As time goes by, the interlacing takes shape and becomes stronger. ~ Haley Elizabeth Garwood
Working Mother quotes by Haley Elizabeth Garwood
I don't know anyone who would be exclusively working on game music, per se. ~ Nobuo Uematsu
Working Mother quotes by Nobuo Uematsu
Life goes on pretty much the same way. I've been working on a couple of films on the side. You may see some more. You may even see another television show. ~ Norman Lear
Working Mother quotes by Norman Lear
I have really long hair, so I don't cut it all that often. Sometimes, when I'm working, I just have the stylist on set trim it for me. I don't dye my hair. When I was a teenager, I dyed my hair five colors at one time. It was all different shades of red going from more orange to more purple. I thought I looked so cool. ~ Zhu Zhu
Working Mother quotes by Zhu Zhu
Nothing of real worth can be obtained without courageous working. Man owes his growth chiefly to the active striving of the will, that encounter with difficulty which he calls effort; and it is astonishing to find how often results apparently impracticable are then made possible. ~ Samuel Smiles
Working Mother quotes by Samuel Smiles
I've let a lot of things go, and obviously football is one of them. I think the hardest thing to let go is your self-image. That's what I'm working on now. ~ Ricky Williams
Working Mother quotes by Ricky Williams
how from time to time some young and beautiful nun had suddenly disappeared, to the surprise and alarm of her companions; how piercing shrieks had been heard to issue from the interior of the building, by those who passed near it at night, - and how the inmates themselves were often aroused from their slumbers by strange noises resembling the rattling of chains, the working of ponderous machinery, and the revolution of huge wheels. ~ George W.M. Reynolds
Working Mother quotes by George W.M. Reynolds
Working myself into a position of total versatility, so that I can do anything I want to do at the time I want to do it. Whether I do it or not is another question. ~ Elliott Erwitt
Working Mother quotes by Elliott Erwitt
She is the creature of life, the giver of life, and the giver of abundant love, care and protection. Such are the great qualities of a mother. The bond between a mother and her child is the only real and purest bond in the world, the only true love we can ever find in our lifetime. ~ Ama H. Vanniarachchy
Working Mother quotes by Ama H. Vanniarachchy
Non-cooperative approaches, by contrast, almost always involve duplication of effort, since someone working independently must spend time and skills on problems that already have been encountered and overcome by someone else. A technical hitch, for example, is more likely to be solved quickly and imaginatively if scientists (including scientists from different countries) pool their talents rather than compete against one another. ~ Alfie Kohn
Working Mother quotes by Alfie Kohn
They should give until it hurts, maybe a very small thing, maybe just a packet of cigarettes, but instead of by smoking that one packet, maybe I share that packet with somebody who has not got even one cigarette, and that's the beginning of love, to give until it hurts. ~ Mother Teresa
Working Mother quotes by Mother Teresa
My mother is the sort of woman who not only can raise a chicken and roast it to moist perfection but, as she proved to my openmouthed sister and me on a family holiday to Morocco when we were very young, can barter for one in a market, kill it, pluck it, and then cook it to perfection. ~ Hamish Bowles
Working Mother quotes by Hamish Bowles
the soles off your shoes!' Then he took out a sack of pearls which lay in the rushes, and without another word he dragged it away and disappeared behind a stone. It happened that soon afterwards the mother sent the two children to the town to buy needles and thread, and laces ~ Jacob Grimm
Working Mother quotes by Jacob Grimm
A mother in J Brand skinny jeans with an impeccably dressed daughter walks past, giving me the Mummy Once-over, and I flinch. Since I had Minnie, I've learned that the Mummy Once-over is even more savage than the Manhattan Once-over. In the Mummy Once-over, they don't just assess and price your clothes to the nearest penny in one sweeping glance. Oh no. They also take in your child's clothes, pram brand, nappy bag, snack choice and whether your child is ­ smiling, snotty or screaming. Which I know is a lot to take in, in a one-second glance, but believe me, mothers are multi-taskers. ~ Sophie Kinsella
Working Mother quotes by Sophie Kinsella
My mother is a realist, and she's had biological and adoptive children, and she said it's no different: No matter what, they're putting a stranger into your arms. You don't know them yet. ~ Katherine Heigl
Working Mother quotes by Katherine Heigl
I used to steal my father's cologne, and it was so strong. My mother would always know when I did because it was so intrusive. That's why I like Evolution - it's a strong yet subtle scent. ~ Trey Songz
Working Mother quotes by Trey Songz
I felt, that night, on that stage, under that skull, incredibly close to everything in the universe, but also extremely alone. I wondered, for the first time in my life, if life was worth all the work it took to live. What exactly made it worth it? What's so horrible about being dead forever, and not feeling anything, and not even dreaming? What's so great about feeling and dreaming? ~ Jonathan Safran Foer
Working Mother quotes by Jonathan Safran Foer
