IT IS EVIDENT FROM THE JOY THAT SHE RADIATES AS SHE TALKS ABOUT HER DAUGHTER THAT CHRYSEIS TAN LOVES BEING A MOTHER.
“She is so independent,” she says with a laugh, before elaborating on why she describes the one-and-a-half-year-old as such. Little Arianna Kyla, she explains, is so accustomed to seeing mummy and daddy (Chryseis’ husband of four years, SM Faliq SM Nasimuddin) leave for work daily that the toddler will simply coolly bid them goodbye when they leave the house – no teary farewells for this independent girl.
Taking care of a child while running her various business ventures is no easy feat without help from others, be it from a family member or a hired staff, Chryseis admits. “Honestly, help is so important, I’m not going to discredit that,” she says, at the same time expressing her admiration not just for working mothers who multitask but also mothers who choose to focus on being stay-at-home mums.
“There’s no right or wrong, it really depends on the individual. Being a mum is also a full-time job and please don’t discredit that, it is not easy taking care of a child. If you are able to multitask, if you can do it, go for it,” she encourages women who are deliberating starting a family while also building a successful business. “No two persons are the same. Some people might find that it’s okay to multitask, some just want to spend time with their kids at home and be a full-time mum.”
