Which life you prefer? Working or Being Stay at Home Mom?

hi,shia yes me also perfer working life. After born my girl than me also resign my last work and stay at home 3month. They time me is stay with my hubby but is no good like u say want buy thing than want take money with hubby, than must hubby will ask many and also say want save. If own working than want buy anything never ask hubby because this is own earn money. So me perfer own working better dun want stay at home.

Shia, most mummy want to have all their time belong to their kids, but some how we need to work to earn a living, and hope not to get financial support from hubs. If my kids are still small, below 5 years, I might drop my jobs and take full respond to raise them. I will go out for work once they grow older.

maybe you can ask for an allowance from your husband that you can spend for your own needs or you can try to buy and sell stuffs so you can earn for yourself without having to sacrifice your time with your boy. I would give anything to become a full time mom. But I am stuck here at work because I have to help provide for our family. I would like to have that chance to be able to watch my boys grow up and reach the different milestones in life. There are many moms out there who would rather stay home with their kids than work.

i was in the same situation as you. however, fate forced me to take care of my child. i was actually bent on doing it only for a few months till i realized the joys of motherhood and the realization that there is more to life than work. i realized when i was staying at home and seeing my child grow up why some parents have no control on their children: why their own children don't treat them as parents. no offense .

I don't have my own kids yet, but I think if I have kids to take care someday, I am still going to work so that, the income of the family will be doubled and we can plan something without worrying about money. However, it also depends on what kind of work I am going to do. If I can open my own business, it will be much better because I will be my own boss and I don't have to get up as early as I know how mothers have to handle everything as early in the morning and working non-stop until they finally surrender to bed. Are you doing any online job at the moment? If yes, than I think you can set up a mini office at your home and do something like you are really working and set some targets. In that way, you won't miss too much about working life at the office or outside.

I know the feeling. I would love to get a job to help with the income, but I can bring myself to let someone watch my little one. I have trust issues with that. But I hate having to ask for money too. I was so use to getting a steady pay check, and since having her and getting out of the military I have be depending on the hubby. Sometimes i feel like I am not doing enough. But being a mother is enough.

I am a stay home mom after mom daughter was born. I do not ask my husband for money because his check is direct deposit so, when my daugter and I want a day aout or want to do something I just go to the bank and get the money out for us to do something or if, iwant to buy myself something I just put it in lay away and bedone with it. I love staying home with my daughter but there is days I wish I went back to work. I realize all the things that I would be missing out in my daughter's life if, I was working. You should not ask your husband for money , let him put money in a saving account with just a ATM card no debtit on it so, you will not over spend or no visa either. I get the ATM card and my husband has the debit card to pay the bills. I am happy married for over 22 yrs and my daughter is almost 5 yrs old. My husband wants to to do things with her that our parents did not do with us because we both came from a family of 6 siblings including ourselves.

Being a single mother, getting no help from father or family, I have no choice but to be a working mother. I have been serious about starting my own online business, and will do so in the coming year. I have other limitations that keep me from getting most jobs, and I am determined not to give up on myself nor my children, even when everyone else has.

hello friend! i just like to work in outside of home.i am a medical student and will be a good doctor for this i want to help people.i really want to earn money for do help poor people.it is my dream.it is also important to spend time with family.i really prefer working life. thanks a lot.

I do prefer working. Because staying home is some time really boring and working is a very good way to spend time. And with work we can make our life busy. And i think busy life is batter then non busy life. Have a good time!

I know what you mean, nothing beats the freedom of being able to earn money for yourself than having to be cut off from society and having to ask for money from someone else. Don't worry, you can still do both, would you be able to work at home while looking after the baby? I know a few people who did this - one of my neighbours who used to go out to work, has stayed at home working ever since she had her first baby. It is possible - it depends what yo worked as before - would you be able to do it on a freelance basis? Also, the internet is so useful now, perhaps you could setup your own web business? If you prefer to be out and about, would some be able to look after the baby - or perhaps, a nearby creche or nursery to where you would be working? Good luck! And don't give up your life because of a baby - you can manage both!!
