Young working women should strike a balance among their roles as workers, mothers, wives and housekeepers, and avoid acts that lead them to become stressed, Mrs. Ernestina Antoh, Synod Member of the Kumasi Diocese of the Methodist Church Ghana (MCG), has advised.
She said modern day demands on women, expected them to play various roles and unless they balanced their acts they would always end up stressed-up.
�Career women should be helped to plot out their time management table to ensure that their children do not suffer,� the Synod Member noted.
Mrs. Antoh was speaking on �The Challenges of Young Working Mothers�, at the 53rd Annual Synod of the Diocese in Kumasi.
She bemoaned the situation where the mother woke up at dawn, while the children were asleep and returned in the night when they were asleep.
Criticizing the practice of entrusting the upbringing of children to house-helps, she entreated career women to schedule their activities to avoid conflict at the workplace.
The participants drew attention to the fact that the dynamics of society were changing, and that there was the need to learn parenting.
They said it would be difficult to change the traditional roles of the sexes, hence the need to accommodate each other.
