Mummy to mummy
I nak share tips jimat duit beli baju berkualiti dengan harga murah. Last month I dapat beli rompers set ni dgn harga RM6+ sehelai. Pyjamas pun lawa2
Semalam 1st day tukar department. Manager department mc 3 hari so team lead yg brief kan. Tapi since kerja x banyak skrg, dia suruh lepak dan memulau. Last2 sampai ke petang kita lepak jeee 😅😅
Harini taktau lah macam mana plk.
Cantik ayat ni “Kahwin itu lama, seumur hidup.”
Jadi carilah yang suka borak dengan kau, teruja bila dengan kau, sayang dia konsisten, tahu bersyukur dan bangga ada kau.
“Can I bring my baby to the interview?”
The message came in at 11 PM:
“Hi, I have an interview with you tomorrow at 2 PM. My childcare fell through. Can I bring my 8-month-old? I understand if you need to reschedule.”
Old me would have rescheduled.
Unprofessional. Distraction. Red flag.
New me replied:
“Absolutely. See you tomorrow.”
She showed up with her baby on her hip.
She apologized three times before even sitting down.
Ten minutes in, the baby started crying.
She tried to soothe him while answering questions.
She apologized again.
I stopped the interview and said:
“Hey. You’re managing a fussy baby, answering complex questions, and staying calm under pressure. That’s literally the job. Handling chaos while staying professional. You’re already proving you can do it.”
Her eyes filled with tears.
We hired her.
She’s been with us for a year now.
The most reliable team member we have.
Why?
Because when you’re used to handling a screaming infant at 3 AM and still showing up to work the next day, workplace stress feels like nothing.
Working parents, especially mothers, are some of the most organized, efficient, and resilient people you’ll ever hire.
Yet we lose them because our hiring processes are built for people with zero caregiving responsibilities.
If your interview process can’t accommodate a parent facing a childcare issue, you’re not filtering for professionalism.
You’re filtering for privilege.
Redah je. Do it afraid, do it tired, do it even when you think you’re not good enough, you’re not ready. You will improve along the way. That fear is not a bad thing. That fear shows you’re self aware. Fearful people are careful.
But don’t just be fearful, be hopeful too.
