because she always gives time
to clean and take care of our
family as a whole, she doesn’t
forget to bon with us even
though she is tired at work.”
“I view my mother’s job as a
privilege job and also high-risk

2 a public servant but also a sign job
of being a good mother.”

“I view my mother’s job as a
formal profession which
requires her to uphold her

duties and responsibilities no
only during office hours but for
the entirety of her service.”

respondents says that it is respectable and honorable job are their answer to the

and being mom at home?” The data shows that they view their mother’s profession as
respectable and honorable job, and is able to divide their time between their profession
and role as a mother like what Participant 2 said “Sir I view my mother’s work as a
respectable job. She is a role model to us, her children and not just us but also our
neighbors and people in our locality. She is known to be disciplined and not only that,
she is also caring. “

relation is made stronger by quality time together, not quantity. some hesitation in the
absence of mother but as soon as children get love and attention from mother when she
returns, they forget the absence of the mother and their relationship becomes stronger
(Dr. Abdul Sattar Almani, et. al, 2012).

Table 12 shows the LIVED EXPERIENCES OF CHILDREN AND POLICEWOMEN; A PHENOMENOLOGICAL STUDY: Learn to be independent
through parent’s way of discipline

Table 11 represents that two (2) over the ten (10) respondents says that children

responsibilities in our home. My father taught me how to cook and my mother taught me
how to properly clean our house. I absorbed all of that and I took care of my lola and my
brother while managing the chores”.
These results were supported by the literature stated that Job of the mothers has
no effect on children`s cognitive development. The teachers explained that cognitive
development consists on knowledge, comprehension, application, analysis, synthesis
and evaluation and the children of working and house hold mothers have same
cognitive development. Mothers urged that cognitive development depends upon
heredity and environmental non-employed tries her best to provide the best
environment necessary for child development. Students argued that employed mothers
make the children more independent (Dr. Abdul Sattar Almani, et. al, 2012).

having complicated relationship due to time deficit because their parents have to divide
their time so that they can be all together. The data shows that the it’s being
complicated due to the time management.
These results were supported by the literature stated wherein they pointed out
that by making an effort to strike this balance, they soon exhaust their emotional and
physical reserves, leaving them frequently weary, burned out, and unable to continue to
succeed in both domains. Women, specifically, tend to experience even greater conflict
because their share of responsibilities in the family/home domain is generally much
larger than their male counterparts (Hall et al., Kurtz, & Roebuck et al., Policemoms:
Perceived challenges impacting gender equity in policing, 2012).
