OR Despina She is a mom, a worker and a housewife who runs all day to prevent everything and at the same time be a right professional in her field. With two daughters, the presenter and journalist has set the goal of making her girls independent and strong women happy with what they choose. And about all this he spoke to Evi Stathatou’s podcast “Momstories”

-You’re a mom you are over your kids and you are a mom you are fighting …

“Yes, but I wouldn’t want to put moms in categories. Working mom, housewife mom .. Whatever what, working mom is not a housewife? It reminds me of these … you remember old, if you were born with Caesarean, it was a crime. You were the fugitive, the one who wanted to do it all easily and quickly or was passionately lived with the birth of her child, only women who were born with normal childbirth lived, so they felt a little inadequate. “

-They had told me then…. Didn’t you try it?

“I have heard it both from my own people, not just by strangers or from Facebook moms .. another scourge too …

Or let’s say the issue of breastfeeding. Didn’t you breastfeed exclusively? You deprived your child the greatest gift you could give to your child .. I hear it, I don’t reject it, it’s very important. But if you don’t do it what happened? Is life ends? Or are you a bad mom? Let’s go to the subject of a housewife or worker .. It reminds me exactly the same battle. Why should we get into this process?

Me and I had the financial ability to live without working again I would like to work. It is my biological need. I want to get out of my house for a few hours not to think about my children, nor washing dishes, nor cooking, gathering with another world, giving and getting another kind of energy and returning home calm because I will be much better for me. Should i apologize for that? Like the opposite. I very much respect women who are at home who is the most difficult job. I respect all women and there is no reason to choose a side »

-What is your way to empower what your daughters?

“I remind them every day how special they are. I talk to them very much about their gifts. I want to know it from me and never feel the need for someone, a man may confirm them. I want to be independent, dynamic, emancipated, without hurting anyone, to be strong girls, not to be afraid, not to be afraid to raise their stature, I was often scared when I was younger and did not claim things I deserved. I want to fight for their rights and be happy as they wish. “
