what do you think about staying home mam?

Being a stay at home mom is a hard job with very very little recognition and in many cases not respected like it ought to be. But it is very rewarding to watch your children grow up and be there for them. It helps the home run smother to have one parent be at home taking care of the house hold stuff. I love being a home mother and wife. I also believe it helps children to have a parent home when they get home from school. They are lease likely to get into trouble. I am lucky that my husband supports my staying at home. I do work from time to time to earn a little extra money when needed. I am a gymnastic coach and love my job. I will work again as a coach when my children grow up. But right now I have a three year old and need to be home for her all day. When the kids get to full time school I can work part time if needed. But till then Im needed at home and HAPPY TO DO IT.

A quick note. Mam is another term for mom, just like mum. I plan to stay at home until my baby (due in may!) is in school so that I can be there for them. Most kids are emotionally neglected these days, so as long as the house hold has enough to get by comfortably I don't see why it should be a problem if its a mutual choice of the parents.

My first wife was a stay-at-home-mom until I divorced her (not for that reason). She has a BS in Political Science and is very smart. I have always told her that she could be the CEO of a Fortune 500 company if she wanted to. But she wanted to stay home and take care of our children. It was hard on the budget but great for the children.

Unfortunately, that is not a realistic goal for most women. In too many cases it takes two salaries to have the equivalent income of one salary a few decades ago.

I tried both and their both really hard.

I was a stay home mom for 8 months when my daughter was born. Great I loved it.

Then, we were very tight with budget so I had to work to help my hubby, and I like it too.

I prefer the stay home mom though bcs I like when I was home, spending so much time with my daughter and not missing out on anything, plus I had more time to take care of our home.

Hopefully our financials get better before my daughter starts school. LOL

It is all up to the woman to decide, my husband never pressured me to do anything, I offered to help by getting a job again.

I think it's perfectly fine so long as the husband can provide a solid income for the family to live on. I think it's important that moms are very involved in their children's lives - unfortunately, in today's society, it is difficult for many couples to afford a home and family without both of them working. If you can stay home, more power to you.

If you can make it on one income then by all means, stay at home while the children are little. I did it and will never regret doing so. Of course, it was tough for us. We had to sacrifice a lot, but being there with the children was important to both of us.

Being a good parent is the hardest most important job - of course you should do it especially if you want to. I'm looking forward to going back to work but I felt that my baby wasn't ready for daycare at one year so I'm taking another year off - not because I love being at home but because my baby needs me more. simple decision really.

I am all for a woman raising her own child and if she's well educated she won't have any problems working from home via the internet.

I assume you mean, stay at home Mom.

I think it's fine as long as both the husband and wife agree. Though personally, I would find it incredibly boring, I think.

It's up to the woman. I admire both stay at home and working moms because they both work very hard for their families.
