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?

I'm a SAHM

Posted by: emmasmomma on Tue Mar 30, 2010

I'm a SAHM to my almost 5 month-old daughter. Prior to having her I was a teacher. My husband and I can afford for me to stay home with her (praise the Lord), so I do. I couldn't imagine going to work as a teacher every day to nurture and teach other people's children while putting my own in a daycare knowing full-well that it's possible for me to stay home with her and nurture and teach her instead. We are planning on having at least 1 or 2 more kids (Lord willing, of course), and due to our religious convictions, my husband and I are planning for me to home school them. It was hard giving up my career. Getting my master's degree in education wasn't cheap and there have been challenges and raised eyebrows (from people who think I should still be working outside the home), but Emma is worth it.
