With the changing social environment, working mothers have become the role of more and more women, but the dual pressure of professional and family roles has brought them a balance dilemma. This study takes married female teachers in a vocational college in Harbin as the respondents and explores their job satisfaction, family satisfaction and emotional experience through empirical analysis, with a view to providing useful curriculum design and development for improving the subjective well-being of working mothers. At the same time, this study also shows that improving the subjective well-being of working mothers requires the joint efforts of all parties, including the support and assistance of family members, workplace units and society as a whole. Therefore, in order to achieve a win-win situation for both working mothers and family happiness, a favorable social environment needs to be established so that women can receive adequate support and recognition in the workplace and at home.
