Hi there everyone! This is for SAHMS as well as working moms. I was a stay at home mom for awhile and loved being able to spend the time with my kids. 1 year ago, however, I had to return to work (due to financial reasons) and I **** it! I have to rush home every day from my 45 hour a week job to accomplish in a few hours what I had all day to take care of before. This include cramming in laundry, dishes, housecleaning, yard work, spending time with my kids, making supper, lunches for the next day plus any left over work from my job that I have to bring home and do. When I stayed at home, I was able to spend time with my kids, sure I stayed very busy, but I was able to take care of my kids instead of having a stranger do it, I was able to keep up with housework and do a quality job instead of a rushed one, I miss taking care of my kids and being there for them. My question is, SAHMS, how do you make it work on one income? Any tips would be appreciated! Thank you!!!

I stay at home with my 22 month old son, and my mother in law has a problem with it. She is constantly telling me that my son isn’t socialized enough and that he needs to be in day care. I do not judge others who have their kids in day care…I worked in one for years. That is the main reason why I do not send him to one. I know some people do not have the choice (including my sister) but why do I get slammed for the decision I have made? I have always wanted to be a mom. I am so sick of defending myself to my mother in law. She just does not get it. My mother stayed home with us kids but she worked and my husband went to day care. I can not tell you the number of times people give me strange looks when I tell them I stay home. Like they feel sorry for me or something. Like I am not liberated and I am barefoot and pregnant at home. I chose to have this lifestyle and feel privileged to be able to be there for my son 24/7. Anyone else with this problem? How do you deal with it?
I want to make it clear that I am not against parents putting their kids in day care. No hateful responces please. Only helpful answers.

I am wanting to apply for a Safety Rep position, but I am still trying to complete my degree in the meantime. I have been a stay at home mom for the last 9 years. My last job was in 1997- I currently handle all of my husbands company finances and paperwork for the last year.

Joe asked:


I know some women who don’t work, they stay at home and raise the kids, and they are looked down upon for it. Strangely, it’s not men who look down on them, but other women. For some reason, women in the US today are always expected to have a career and a life outside the home. The woman who stays at home and raises the family is told that she’s stifling her “personal development” or that she’s not reaching her full potential as a woman, despite the fact that she’s happier at home raising the kids. It’s almost like a stigma to be a stay-at-home mom these days, and I just want to know why.

I want to be a stay at home mom, but I am just decreasing my full time position to part time. I still want to make money from home though. Online businesses unless I actually start one myself, always end up being bogus. I’m a computer geek, I know this could be of great help.

Jess asked:


I am interested in answers from women who are supported by their husbands. What does he do for a living? How much does he make (if you are comfortable saying so)? Where do you live?

I am currently staying home but am looking for employment. In the future, I would love to be a stay at home mom. I appreciate everyone who answers sincerely.

I’m at home all day with my babies, and work a few week nights and weekends. I created an online group for stay @ home moms to meet up in public places for play dates, and to meet other women to hang out with during the day. I did this because, I moved here with my husband, and have no friends to hang out with. I’ve got a few members, but would like some oppinions on weither or not people think this is a good idea, or will out to be a flop??
*or it will turn out to be a flop
