Hello!
I just wanted to know how women having kids are getting time to do a job and learn new stuff and taking care of the house and family?
I have a 2 year old kid and work as a developer. I am excelling in my office work but not getting time to learn new things. Sometimes I feel like I wish I could also have someone who is trust worthy and can take care of my house, child, our meals for 24*7 like men have this privilege.

You will need a Trusted Nanny/day care or a trusted relative/spouse if you are working full time.Otherwise it will be very tiring for you .

These days its very hard to find trusted nanny, in laws are least bothered by your situation and you are on your own in this journey with your husband

I would say, u r already excelling in ur job and that is like more than enough for a mother of 2 year old. Yes men do have the privilege of being able to learn new things as well along with the job, but that's the unfortunate thing of being a lady. No matter how much we try, pregnancy and motherhood does slow down our career and we need to accept it for the initial years, probably till the baby is 5 years old

One needs to have a support system then only you will be able to take out time for yourselves. “It takes a village to raise a child “ You need to talk to your spouse and build a system that can work for both of you !

Society has always been male-dominated, and it’s hard to change. When only a small number of women fight against it, it usually doesn’t make much difference.

Like you said you are excelling in your job, i feel its enough for now. Focus on your work and spend time with your kid. Its ok if learning seems to be on hold for now.. I am a mother of 3 years old and he has been going to day care since he was 2. He has learnt so much from there and is so sensible at his age, Moreover I can be with him completely after my office hours. I know we do get mom's guilt but kids these days knows we are working hard for them. They need undivided attention from you even if that is 1-2 hours daily. Coming to house chores, hire help that is the privelege we have in India. Dont strain yourself with all your responsibilities. Take out 1 hour daily for urself, exercise and stay happy. Things will be back on track once they are 4-5 years old. Good luck.

Fishes,

Does anyone know about the IAAP diploma in IFRS?

IAAP is an awarding body in UK.

My doubt is, does the value of the certificate of IFRS change depending on the Institution?

Will a person who cleared IFRS from IAAP have same value as a person who cleared IFRS from ACCA?

Thanks in advance
