Being A Mom-SAHM

Posted by: Bombmom1979 on Wed Oct 8, 2008

I stopped working to be a SAHM. I had been working for 4 and 1/2 years for the same company trying to get a promotion. My oldest daughter got really sick, she had a tumor on her spinal cord at the base of her neck, it was paralyizing her. I took a month off of work to be with her in the hospital. My job called me everyday wanting to know when I was coming back. My first day back at work I handed in my resignation. I determined my family was more important.

I have no regrets in my decision to become a SAHM, there are times I get bored but I never think about going to work. I will go walk my dogs at the park or visit a museum. I LOVE being able to be there if my kids need me and even if they don't.

I would say do it, become a SAHM. What hurt me the most was when I missed my youngest take her first steps because I was at work. I decided that I never wanted to miss another one of my childrens moments. But being as I have 4 there are times that the schedules conflict and I can't be with one of them but I still try to be the best SAHM I can be.
