Stay at home mom Vs. Working mom

Stay at home moms have the harder job no doubt about it because they dont get the alone time or that time away from the family home yes the working mom is working for a living but this provides time away from the family home unlike the stay at home mom who is in the family home nearly 24/7 i take my hat off to all stay at home moms

I am also a mommy of 2. and im only 25 too. I also have a thought about that Because it is hard to leave our kids and choose to be outside to work. Whilst your at home seek other alternatives. Since you have a computer at home you can try to do some online genuine business. And at least you can look after your kids as well.

Honestly neither is easier than the other...I was a working single mom who also went to school and it was rough..then I was a at home biz owner and now I'm a SAHM and I can honestly say that all three have their good points but their rough points too and none of them were easier than the other....Even though I'm home every day now I still have my days filled and am constantly on the go from 4am til 9pm AND I dont get weekends off OR holidays LOL BUT when working out of the home you have to deal your job, your boss, travel time, annoying coworkers etc etc...They're both stressful..they are both hard...I personally PREFER to be at home and I'm glad I retired when I did BUT you may enjoy going out to work more...Really your decision has to be based on what YOU WANT to do...Realistically speaking if you DON'T want to work outside the home but end up doing it you'll be miserable and visa versa IMO LOL sidenote - I use to be a chambermaid and I LOVED IT...If i were to go back to the work world I'd definately want to do that again

Both. It depends how you spend the time and how you enjoy the work. It is a matter of how you look all these.

first ,congradulate you on having your third baby.but i recomend you that you should find a job but not stay home all the time,you can hire a matron to look after your children.if you always stay home ,you will be out of line with the society.after all ,you are young enogh.you just older than me two years.i just graduate from school,enjoy my first job.my life just start.you can go to work,find a job you like and not very busy.after work you can look after you baby too.in fact ,your husband can help you too.

You sound like me. I have been a waitress for 12 years and just recently started staying home. I just had my third child in August. I have and 8 year old girl, 21 month old boy and 12 week old daughter. I am 29 years old. I planned on going back to work when she was 8 weeks old. Well it turns out she won't take a bottle. So my fiance is working lots of overtime. I thought I would hate staying home, but I absolutely love it. I am so much less stressed. I think it is easier to go to work personally, daddy comes home, lies down, watches tv and that's it, but he misses all the little cute things the kids do. I have to go back soon, but as for now I love it. I still think working moms have it easier, but not as rewarding.

Ugh I know what you mean. I think it is great you can stay home. I stay home and I find it is a lot harder than if I was going to work. Although I just can not imagine leaving my kids with anyone else at this point, I have one in montessori three days a week and another who is not in school yet. They will be 4 in February and 2 in January. My husband actually had the gall to say he was ready for a third. I was like "Um I do not think so dear" I have been looking at going back to work, only because we need the money. My hubby only works about 20 hours a week if that, and no health insurance so we are paying an enormous amount of money for health insurance it is crazy. I took on a home based business which is doing well, I really love it, but I have to still build it up before I see the residual income...That is fine with me, but with him not having a full time job or health insurance, what little I make, again is helping us but it is not where I want it to be yet. I am so freaked out. I just talked with my sil and told her that I could get a job very easily and make a pretty good amount of money doing it. Well, I just got another job offer, but my husband is so sensitive about that whole thing that he just does not feel okay with everything, it hurts his pride. I do not want to hurt him but I am tired of seeing him not look, not go pound the pavement. I am out there networking and even networking for him and he does not do anything about it. What would you do? Would you just do what you could so that you were not out in the street? would you just get the job find the nanny and hope for the best?

The mom who leaves and goes to work has it easier. They may be busy each day, but no one is busier than the stay-at-home mom who is constantly running around after kids, cleaning up messes, doing laundry, cleaning the house, running errands, handling the finances, taking care of pets also, picking up toys, cooking, etc. every day. I want to slap anyone who says being a stay-at-home mom isn't really a job, or isn't a full-time job, because it is. It's usually men or those without kids that make those comments. I'd like to see them 5-10 years down the road married with 2-3 kids, and see what they have to say then! lol I love being a stay-at-home mom. It's tiring, but it's also heavily rewarding to be able to spend that much time with your kids every day. I have an son now who will be 3 this coming February, and another boy on the way (5 1/2 months pregnant). I was in the military, but got out due to medical reasons. My husband is in the Army and works M-F and some weekends. He brings home the money, and I take care of the house and our son. Even though I don't leave the house, I still have a full day of things to do every day, and we see it pretty equally. He knows I work just as hard as he does. I just don't have to deal with as many jerks at work as he does.

Hi, From your question, i think the easier is the working mom. Myself, i am full time mother with 1 son, almost 15 months next week. Being full time mother, sometimes makes me crazy. Because i hardly have time for myself ^_^;; Besides take care my son, i must doing household, cooking, grocery. I hardly have time sit behind the computer :) But if i see my son laugh, smile to me. I feel happy and never regret that i decide to stay home with him. Me and my husband really raise our son with ourself. We never ask someone else to take care of him even for couple hours. I do part time job sometimes in summer and winter, but i do that in the evening. When my husband at home :)
