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/Working Mom/SAHD

Posted by: Clearvilla on Fri Feb 12, 2010

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. ;)
