| SAHM or Working Mom? |
| Military Wife |
| 'Nuff said! Actually we were still living in a bigger city because of my job. After I was laid off, we moved closer to base but the town really doesn't have much to offer for employment. So I think I'm kinda settling in to this whole SAHM thing, though our kid is in grade school. It's kinda nice to be able to pick her up after school and this is probably the first actual summer that we really get to spend time together. When deployment comes, staying home will really be helpful. I've been looking into career options from home like medical transcription and considering that route to bring in extra money. |

| SAHM or Working Mom? |
| I'm a SAHM |
| I'm a SAHM to my almost 5 month-old daughter. Prior to having her I was a teacher. My husband and I can afford for me to stay home with her (praise the Lord), so I do. I couldn't imagine going to work as a teacher every day to nurture and teach other people's children while putting my own in a daycare knowing full-well that it's possible for me to stay home with her and nurture and teach her instead. We are planning on having at least 1 or 2 more kids (Lord willing, of course), and due to our religious convictions, my husband and I are planning for me to home school them. It was hard giving up my career. Getting my master's degree in education wasn't cheap and there have been challenges and raised eyebrows (from people who think I should still be working outside the home), but Emma is worth it. |

| SAHM or Working Mom? |
| Military mom |
| I dont have much of a choice. I stayed at home till my girl was 10 months, my boy was 15 months. Im active duty military now and have to go back to work after we have one. Im not sure how I feel about it just yet and taking a leave is not an option since Im am the bread winner for our family. |

| SAHM or Working Mom? |
| SAHM/Working Mom/SAHD |
| I was a SAHM after my sweetie was born until she was four years old. We struggled to get by and often had help from my parents, in addition to child care. I do not regret being hom with her, nor do I regret working for a living. I just feel like I do not get to spend enough time with her because I also go to school full-time, so whenever she looks at me in the right way, I drop what I am doing and spend some time with her.
I may get a little less sleep or have to pile up the workload some, but it's worth it to make time for my girl.
While I would love staying home and working there or just being with my girl, I would not mind it the least if my husband stayed home and I worked instead. Not at all, because he cleans house and dotes on his girls. I know I could trust him to learn the intricacies of laundry eventually. ;) |

| SAHM or Working Mom? |
| Stay at home dads? |
| Staying home with children is a natural and healthy thing. However, it's not a mom-only responsibility. I believe that either partner should be able to stay home and care for them. Has anyone else tried this? |
