Are you a stay at home mom?

Question

I have a 3 year old son, I went back to work when he was 4 months. I worked for about a year and then decided it just wasn't worth it anymore. Where we live, decent daycare is ridiculous and I'd barely profit anything working a full time job. So my husband and I decided that it would be best to be a stay at home mommy to our boys until they are both in kindergarten. Being a stay at home mom is not all glitz and glory! It is definitely amazing being able to raise my babies and not miss out on anything but man oh man... I truly believe it's the hardest job out there!

Answer

My hubby is a stay at home Dad though! He kills it. He is such a good Dad. I'm so proud of him! I love the dynamics of our house. I think most ppl would think it's weird; but it works amazingly well for us. Couldn't be happier! 😍❤️😍

I hope to be once our little girl comes!  I currently teach ESL at an elementary school and commute 45 minutes 2 ways daily.  I teach 9 classes a day, spend hours on paperwork and planning, and the overall work environment is toxic.  I'd be away from our little girl 10 hours a day and I'm afraid I wouldn't be my best self when I picked her up from daycare since my job completely drains me.  Not to mention I'd be putting half my salary back into daycare.  I also run a photography business on the side, so I'm hoping to further expand that and be a stay at home/work at home mom.

Answer

I will be with the baby for surely a year and then go back to work until we decide to have another one. But will be working part time because my husband is away for work three months and then three months home so it would be really hard in the little one if we both worked like crazy. I feel guilty leaving the dog all alone I don't know how I could be able to handle leaving my little boy.

Answer

I'm a stay at home mom to a 16 month old and 27 weeks with our second. It's definitely tough. She's off the walls right now and getting into everything so I'm exhausted constantly. It's so hard picking up her toys off the floor because bending it getting hard but squatting is very tiring haha. I feel like the worst part though is having your exhausted moments with no patients and trying to stay calm when a tiny human has just repeated "mommy" for then 1 millionth time is 30 seconds! I wouldn't trade it for anything but it's definitely not a walk in the park.

Answer

Same here! I'm 30 weeks and my man had the same idea. Might as well just stay home with the baby. Any daycare around here is more than you make at your job. Any girlfriends that I know that are doing it all on their own have to basically work 2 jobs, just to afford the daycare it takes for them to be at one job. Not worth it!

Answer

I e pregnant for about 3 years straight so my husband and I decided that I should probably just stay at home with all the babes lol. But after this baby, like a year after,  I plan on getting a part time job just so we can have some extra cash flow.
