Mums Working from Home, Stress Fades Away

Martha was a teacher so stressed,
Her job was 60 hours, what a mess,
She'd come home, eat, and work some more,
Her family suffered, what a bore.

Her daughter Amelie said with a frown,
"Mum's always grumpy, never around",
Martha felt guilty, her days a blur,
She wanted to be a better mum for sure.

She changed her job to 30 hours a week,
Working from home as a virtual assistant to seek,
Her family was thrilled, they had their mum back,
Their lives were transformed, no more stress attack.

Research showed it's good for kids to have a parent around,
Neuroscientists agreed, it's a fact unbound,
Prof Sam Wass said, "It's a resources question, I'm afraid",
But for Martha's family, it was a change they'd made.

Martha's kids loved having her around,
They'd talk and laugh, no more feeling down,
Amelie said, "It's nice to have my mum to share",
Barnaby added, "Even on meetings, she's always there".
