‘Being a working mother requires serious organizational skills.’ Dear Ms. Arzu, who says that working hard is essential to being both a working woman and a good mother, prefers quiet places away from the noise of the city, surrounded by nature, to spend time with her daughter. Mother and daughter love chatting and listening to music together…
What do you enjoy doing most with your daughter, and how do you spend your time?
I enjoy listening to music together the most. I try to spend the time we share mostly outdoors and close to nature. Talking with her and understanding her perspective and perception of the world is incredibly enjoyable.
Could you tell us a bit about your pregnancy and birth process?
I had a comfortable pregnancy. I continued working until the final stage of my pregnancy; I was lucky not to have any health problems that would prevent me from doing so. I have no negative memories about my delivery, of course thanks to my doctor.
You are a working mother. Can you spare time for your daughter? What are the advantages or disadvantages of being a working mother in raising your child?
I am a dentist. I love my job very much and work constantly to improve myself. However, my daughter has always been my top priority. During her early infancy, since she needed me more, I adjusted my work life accordingly. As she grew up and started kindergarten, I fully returned to my career. I have never considered being a non-working woman; I believe I should be a role model for my daughter so she can become a strong, independent woman in the future.
Being a working mother requires serious organizational skills. In short, to be both a working woman and a good mother, ‘working hard is essential.’
Every mother has dreams for her children. What are your wishes, hopes, and dreams for your child?
My wish for my daughter is that she lives a happy life in her own way, without ever straying from her own truths.
How did you meet İRENBE? What does it mean to you?
