Abstract
Working from home is currently known as WFH (Work From Home). WFH seems to be something they want and expects for workers who are still active outside the home. But what about the WFH actors themselves? This discussion becomes intriguing when the construction of the ideal mother remains on patriarchal ideology, causing gender inequality. This paper uses a critical discourse analysis method by collecting articles about women who continue to carry out their roles as career women during the WFH period. Seventy-two articles appear in the google search engine when looking for WFH mothers during the covid 19 pandemics. However, from 72 articles, there are only 19 articles that talk about the stories of women who are doing WFH, tips and tricks on being a mother during WFH. In the article, the media constructs the ideal mother figure during the covid 19 pandemics. The ideal mother figure described by the media is a mother as a husband's servant, financial regulator, educator, child caretaker, and career woman. The construction of an ideal mother during this pandemic must carry out the four identities that are attached to her at once. The form of this identity is influenced by the ideology that coexists in society. These ideologies are patriarchal culture, ibuism, and capitalism.
