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?

SAHM--for different reasons than most

Posted by: Mom22girls on Sun Sep 7, 2008

I have 2 girls, 5 1/2 years and almost 6 months, and I've been a full-time SAHM since our first daughter was 3. It is tough at times, especially because of money, but for our family it works. Our situation is a bit different, in that my oldest has autism and is deaf--we tried day care, but they were just not willing or equipped to give her the attention that she needed. In the end, it has been better for her that she was at home with me, and now she is in Kindergarten and doing great...the other nice thing with the girls being 5 years apart is that I get to spend the day with our youngest while our older daughter is at school. Eventually I will finish graduate school, but for now I am enjoying being home with my girls :)
