Nirmala Bhoo Pathy: To all the working mothers out there

Nirmala Bhoo Pathy, Public Health Physician and Clinical Epidemiologist, made the following post on LinkedIn:

“My kids were merely two and one when I started my postgraduate studies. They grew up doing their homework while I worked on all my theses and academic papers. It was not an easy path but we pulled through with the help of our parents, siblings, and a bunch of wonderful helpers…

Today marks an important milestone as my daughter completes her A levels. She has often been left to do her homework alone, or dealing with school matters on her own given that her mom was busy building a career. She never complained and instead grew up to be a strong independent woman. Here is wishing Ovena Raj lots of success and good health.

To all the working mothers out there, do not feel guilty that you sometimes have to leave your kids on their own to build your career. They will turn out fine.”
