SAHM or Working Mom?
Did you (or will you) stop working and be a Stay at Home Mom (SAHM)? Why or why not? Any regrets in your decision, like do you find yourself wanting to go back to work, or in the middle of a meeting do you wish you were home instead? What would you tell other mom-to-bes who are considering being a SAHM - do it or not?

Been both SAHM & Working mom

Posted by: cojosmom on Sun Apr 6, 2008

I chose to leave my job and stay at home with my son, a decision I do not regret except for the financial impact it has had on us. I just went back to work last summer when Connor was 3 1/2 years old. My husband stayed at home with him for 6 months when he also started a 2 day a week preschool program. My husband went back to work this February and Connor is now enrolled in a full-day preschool program and loves it. The only thing I would do differently is perhaps enroll him at least part time around 2 years of age when they are more open to new things. Otherwise, I see benefits on both sides of the fence having been a stay at home mom and now being a working mom. Either way, the most important thing is to let them know they are loved and that you're there for them.
