Abstract

Parenting is an art that is quite loving and rewarding. Yet, demanding and time consuming, being one of the most difficult jobs in the world. An art which entails close monitoring of a child’s growth, Spiritually, Physically, Emotionally and Wellbeing right from conception. This can only be achieved in a stable and nurturing environment, a place that can be called a home. Parenting brings strong bond between a child and her father and mother but oftentimes, generally in Africa and Nigeria in particular, mothers seem to be more involved in nurturing than fathers. However, consequent on the search for greener pasture by women in order to support their husbands in the home front or to take care of her children, combining parenting with career comes into conflict which if not managed well, a woman feels unfulfilled in parenting and seen as uncommitted employee to the organisation where she works.
With the use of exploratory research design, supported with role strain theory, this paper tend to; investigate the reasons women pursue career alongside parenting; ii. identify challenges women face when pursuing career; and iii, explore policies and personal options available for women wishing to balance career and parenting demand in Nigeria with Babcock University and Lead City University as a study for public view. The paper tentatively submit that for women to overcome the conflict that comes up as a result of juggling parenting and career, there is the need for women to be proactive in coping with both parenting and career, the organisational policies besides need to be flexible when necessary and gender sensitive.
