Being a mother never comes easy. Rather being a woman itself is challenging. The journey from an innocent girl to a growing teenager, then to a responsible woman and finally followed by a dedicated and selfless mother is full of ups and downs. At every step, a woman has to face life at its best and worst.  But when it comes to parenting, things are totally different. One has to put their children before them.

To be present in your children’s memories tomorrow, one has to be a part of their today. When everyone follows this golden rule of parenting, Kristen Hewitt who is a public figure had a different say on it. She decides to skip her daughter’s award ceremony only because of an unbelievable reason. The reason is something not many people appreciate.

Woman Power

Kristen Hewitt, 41-years  is a is a public figure residing in Florida. She is a two-time Emmy Award Winner as a Television Reporter. This independent woman is also the Producer for Sun Sports, the Miami HEAT, and Fox Sports Florida. She has been into this profession for over a decade now. This entrepreneur is also a craze amongst the “mothers”. Ask why?

The Blogger

This renowned T.V Reporter is known for her blogging skills as well. She is the blogger for the page, “mommy in SPORTS”. This blogging page has also been awarded as the  ‘Best Blog for Moms’ by the Miami New Times in 2014. While her page which was about motherhood and sports was widely appreciated, one of her parenting decision turning into a questionable was an unexpected one.

Have To

After knowing the amount of success Kristen had tasted in her life, one can easily make out how career oriented she is. But when she came to know about her pregnancy, she knew what was more important to her. She gave a small break to her work and decided to devote this time to her family.

Part-Time Work

Kristen was covering Miami Heat’s home and away games. This involved a lot of traveling on her part. So when she turned into a mother she started working part-time and covered home games only. Moreover, as she wasn’t given paid Maternity leaves, she returned to work just three works after she gave birth to her younger daughter Lila.

Worn Out

She always had a hectic schedule, but December became exceptionally tiring for her. Thanksgiving party followed by Christmas and new year’s celebration, she had a lot to go through. Things could have been a little smooth but as her husband went on a business trip, her work exhausted her. And this exhaustion cost her a lot.

A Guilt

Kristine at that time told a lie, but later on, returning home, guilt struck her. She knew she had said a clear white lie about her absence at her daughter’s award ceremony. She was feeling ashamed of herself. First, she missed Lila’s ceremony and then lied about it to everyone else. Her inner conscience then compelled her to do something.
