“Do you think your mother is a superman and can find you wherever you go?” On April 23, a mother and son hugged each other and cried at a police station in Liuzhou City. The cause of the incident was that Xiao Ming (pseudonym) did not take online classes properly. After being scolded by his mother, he ran away from home without saying a word and walked from Donghuan Avenue to the entrance of Baisha Bus Terminal on Baisha Road, four or five kilometers away from his home. At night, Xiao Ming, who was tired and sleepy, squatted at the door of the station and cried. It was not until a kind-hearted person passing by saw what happened and helped him call the police for help that he was found by his family.
Similar news incidents are common during the epidemic. Because schools continue to delay the start of the term, parents are worried about their "naughty children" taking online classes and doing homework. A mother joked online: If school doesn't start again, the bond between mother and child may be exhausted. Fortunately, we have finally received the good news that schools are preparing to reopen - According to the work plan for the return of students in the spring semester of 2020 issued by the local education departments, the first batch of high school and junior high school students have now returned to school. Other primary and secondary school students will return to school in batches in May. After seeing this news, parents are relieved but also have new worries. Mothers, in particular, are racking their brains to take impeccable protective measures for their children...
On the occasion of Mother's Day, Zhongtaojun specially interviewed mothers in various positions in the industry. Let us listen to the stories between them and their "naughty children" , praising the hard-working spiritual quality of working mothers, and at the same time conveying positive energy through maternal love.
Director of Planning Department & Mother
Motherhood is a very honorable “profession.”
@李家 Ceramic Ceramic Planning Department Director Zhao Dan
Zhao Dan's daughter is relatively young and her academic tasks are not that heavy yet. She usually finds some interesting and educational online courses for her daughter, such as Zebra English, and studies with her daughter when she gets home from get off work every day. According to the arrangements of the Ministry of Education, kindergartens have not yet opened, and there is still a risk of recurrence of the epidemic. Zhao Dan would rather children play at home and avoid going out as much as possible. Every time she goes out, she makes her daughter wear a mask; she repeatedly tells her to wash her hands frequently and not to eat food from strangers. While ensuring the health of the child, she also hopes that the child can grow up happily; all of this reveals a mother's good intentions.
As a working mother, Zhao Dan's Mother's Day is also closer to life. In previous years, the whole family would go out for a big meal on Mother's Day, but this year she plans to cook a table of delicious dishes at home. On the day of the festival, you may receive a thoughtful handiwork or painting from your child. Zhao Dan told Zhongtaojun that Li Home Ceramics is very considerate and caring for its "mom" employees; as for how to balance work and life, Zhao Dan believes that with the development of society, the idea of gender equality in all aspects is progressing. In fact, For ordinary jobs, there is no explicit statement that only men can do it but not women (except for the more strenuous physical work, of course). Nowadays women can also realize their personal value in the workplace, make efforts and contributions to their families, and build a beautiful family together.
In Zhao Dan's mind, motherhood is a very glorious "profession." Because the mother plays a very important role in the growth of her children, teaching by words and deeds is related to the healthy physical and mental growth of her children; as a working woman, she works hard to give her children a better life. As long as she arranges her time reasonably, there is no difference between the two. conflict.
Brand Leader & Mother
My children have made me who I am today.
@诺彦令牌人A君
Promise Ceramics, where Mr. A works, is a very warm and sentimental brand. On this Mother's Day, Promise Ceramics distributed heart-warming gifts to every "mom" employee. In addition, it also carefully prepared flowers and exquisite gifts for each employee's mother. Promise Ceramics believes that employees can work with peace of mind because of the strong support of their families, especially their mothers. Every employee of Promise is a very good employee, and it also shows that they all have a very great mother. Promise Ceramics also takes the opportunity of Mother's Day to express its sincere gratitude to the mothers of its employees.
Being in such a company that cares about its employees, Mr. A has also gained different benefits. She shared with Zhongtaojun her feelings about the relationship between family and work: After becoming a mother, she did feel that there was a strong force supporting her. Many times I come home after working overtime with my tired body, and the moment I open the door and see my children, all the stress, anxiety, and unhappiness at work disappear immediately. It reminds me of an English saying, You make me want to be a better person, which means you make me want to be a better person. After I became a mother, in order to become a better version of myself, amidst the strong market conditions and the need for stability in everything, I jumped out of the company I had worked for for many years without hesitation, just to accept greater challenges outside. Learn more and improve your skills. It can be said that my children made me what I am.
Tile dealer & mother
There isTiredness but also gain, pain and happiness.
@ Suzhou Itetao Ceramics Dealer Huang Yingying
Huang Yingying is also one of the many mothers who are worried about their children taking online classes. She told Zhongtaojun that her children were really confused when they first took online classes, and even went crazy for a while; but as they gradually got used to it, their lives returned to normal. Now that her children have returned to school, the biggest feeling in her heart is that she is liberated; but she has begun to worry about the safety of her children at school, so Huang Yingying prepared masks, disinfectant wipes, no-rinse disinfectant gel, and brought her own tableware for her children... (Want to be fully armed)
At home, Huang Yingying is the mother of two children; in the store, Huang Yingying is the boss of every employee. She said, When switching between the two roles of a working woman and a mother, sometimes she feels tired, but there are also gains, so most of the time it is painful and happy. of.
Professional managers & mothers
Children are angels sent by God.
@ Suzhou Marco Polo Tile Mudu Store Manager Gao Yinhua
Gao Yinhua's son is already a sensible young man, and his elders are less worried about his studies. In addition, he is usually busy with work and spends less time with his children. She talked to Zhong Taojun about her son's birthday last week. It was the first birthday of her son that his mother had forgotten in his life. She knew that her mother was busy at work and didn't remind her, so she later made up for it. Gao Yinhua felt a little guilty and very moved. A child who is sensible and worry-free is simply an angel sent by God.
Store shopping guide & mother
As long as I go home and see my children, all the fatigue disappears.
@Qingdao Marco Polo Chengyang Hongxing Store Shopping Guide Yang Yang
As Mother's Day was approaching, Yang Yang's son said he wanted to show off the talent he had recently learned in a handicraft class - making paper flowers for his mother. In order to make this gift more ceremonial, a "Hundred Flowers Treasure Map" was creatively drawn and asked her to follow the treasure map to discover surprises. Hearing this, Mr. Zhongtao couldn't help but sigh, the children's imagination is really big now. (Friend, do you have a lot of question marks???)
Yang Yang believes that naughty is the nature of children, and mothers will find that this side is actually very cute. Every day at work, I was exhausted mentally and physically dealing with all kinds of customers. The moment I came home and saw my children, all the fatigue disappeared;This might beThe best reward for your unconditional devotion to your mother.
Media company director & mother
Children are both a weakness and an armor.
@好学圈(Shenzhen) Creative Director Tan Peixia
Tan Peixia's daughter had just started kindergarten for less than half a year, but she stayed home due to the epidemic. Her daughter once complained to her that she missed her classmates and wanted to go back to school. Tan Peixia feels the same now as when her daughter first entered kindergarten. At first, she was worried about various kinds of discomfort, but as a result, her daughter only cried a lot in the first few days, and her ability to adapt is far from good. Much stronger than adults. After being bored at home for several months during this period, Tam Peixia's daughter has begun to list a long list of reasons (to go to the zoo, to play at the beach, to go to grandma's house...). For safety reasons, Tan Peixia tried her best to keep her daughter from going out, so she had no choice but to promise her that she would accompany her to fulfill her wish list later.
At work, because the owner of Tan Peixia's company is a mother herself, she is very considerate and friendly to other mothers and employees. However, many difficulties still have to be overcome by oneself, such as having to travel on a business trip when pregnant, weaning the child from breastfeeding for a business trip, etc. Tan Peixia said, In fact, persisting in many things is not the most tiring thing, but not being understood is. As long as you can be understood and tolerated by your family, it is all worth it. Children are both the mother's weakness and her armor. Now, Tan Peixia often wants to put down her mobile phone and parties when she is not working, and spend more time with her children.
Happy holidays to all mothers
What I want to say to every working mother
The debate program "Qi Pa Shuo" once raised a topic:"Mom is a superman. Is this sentence a compliment to my mother?"As soon as the topic came up , it aroused heated discussions across the Internet in just a few days, with hundreds of thousands of people leaving their opinions on Zhihu hot lists, Weibo hot searches, and hot topics.
In primary school compositions, we often use the word great to describe mothers, which sounds really good, because a mother can bear the word great for her dedication to her children and family. When greatness and superman become labels for mothers, what follows is not recognition of mothers, but heavy shackles on mothers. This is why such a seemingly ordinary statement has caused so much controversy.
A father on Zhihu said: In an orderly, peaceful and peaceful world, no one needs to transform into a superman to shoulder heavy responsibilities. Everyone just needs to be a happy ordinary person;Compared to Superman Mom , as an ordinary person, but the mother who is still working hard to live is the one we should praise more.
The pressure of modern "mothers" comes only from family and workplace. How to make the company and family a harbor for every "mother"? First of all, we need to change the prejudice that "mother = superman". Starting today, we advocate being a mother who is not a superman, not perfect, but real enough and free and easy.
Did you know? In addition to being Mother’s Day, May 10th is also the Fourth China Brand Day! In order to respond to the brand power strategy and promote the construction of Chinese brands, the "Top Ten Brands of China's Architectural and Sanitary Ceramics" teamed up with major brands to call for China Brand Day. Many brands forwarded Weibo to shout out their brand declarations. Wonderful contentRong will be shared with everyone tomorrow, which is worth looking forward to.
