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?

Working Mom .. or my sanity!

I love my children very much, but in my opinion, working and being independent is so much better for my well being and my children's well being. My kids who are 3 and 1 did so much better when I had them in daycare. They learned so much and got to interact with other children. My older son was talking so much and was becoming 'mommy-free'. Since I moved from Florida because my husband was promoted I have been a SAHM and it has been awful! My kids are off track, I'm practically losing my mind because I seem to be cleaning up every 5 minutes. I don't really know anyone here either which I think makes it that much harder to deal with. I really wish I could move back and get everything back on track. Including having my own paycheck to be able to pay some expenses and use it on extra things for myself and my kids without asking the 'boss.' Hopefully I will find a job soon! Wish me luck!
