I would like to share with you a short film that has touched me deeply about the harsh reality of a working mother.
In it we see a young mother who is forced to leave her baby very early in the morning (apparently in a nursery) to be able to get to work on time at the other end of the city, which by the way, is Paris .
Although there is very little text, the video is in French, so just in case I tell you a little what happens.
Upon arriving at work in a family home, his employer tells the young woman before leaving home that he will arrive later that day. He then asks her that if she has any problems, to which the young woman, surely thinking that she should pick up her baby later, answers no.
The funny thing is that the young woman takes care of her employer's baby throughout the day, being forced to leave her own baby in the care of others. The solution would probably be to take care of the two babies at the same time, but we know that in practice it is not common.
I found it heartbreaking, because it makes us see the hard reality of working mothers which usually goes unnoticed in today's society.
The circumstances may be different, but almost all mothers today are forced to leave their own children to go to work, and the most disadvantaged end up being, from my point of view, babies.
