Deciding to Stay At Home

My reason..... I thought I was not able to have children and my heart was broken by it. I was 38 when I did conceive and the second I held him in my arms the first time I knew I would never want to spend a day away from him. My answer has been Arbonne. Have you heard of it? Tried it? Please visit my website ww.carolcsmith.myarbonne.com. I would love to send you samples. Our ABC baby care line is tops ~ truly. I notice that you are quite new here at myLot. I would like to offer you a brief explanation about myLot and how you can increase your earnings here. I wanted something like this myself when I first joined. I hope it will help you out. This is a site that pays! You need to reach $10 in order to receive payment, than after tha you will be paid on the 15th of the next month. But how to increase your earning is always the real question. There are a few ways. First, you really want to concentrate on quality, long discussions or responses ~ avoid one liners. You can earn a lttle extra by uploading photos that tie in to your discussions. For more in depth recommendatonssee my profile. Feel free to contact me with any additional questions (you will first need to add me to your friend list. I never turn down new friend requests.) Good luck with your earnings! More importantly, good luck with your decision about work.

I stay at home, but I am finishing up my degree in special education. After that i would love to still stay at home and homeschool my children, but then how would I pay my debt? If dh were on board, and I didn't love my job then i would absolutely stay home forever. I don't think you would regret it, and if you did there are always more jobs out there.

I stayed at home with my kids because I believe it is the best thing for them. To me, it's much better to have a little less money and less luxuries and have that all important time with your children than it is to have to leave them just so you don't have to miss out on holidays, cars, whatever else it would be that the extra money would pay for. It has been proven (not that people should need proof) that children who have been looked after by their mum generally fare better than those who are left in full time care.(I have always looked after my own children and they are happy, intelligent, thoughtful and polite. Not that children left with carers couldn't be like that but I can honestly tell, when fetching my oldest son from school, which children have been looked after by their parents. If you can live comfortably, even at a push, without you working then it will be better for you and your baby. If you can't do that then could you limit your work to part time? If it's adult company you will miss by not working, there are probably playgroups where you could take your baby and you could both make friends there. Good luck with whatever you decide.

Well we just moved from Samoa to USA and I was previously working and my son was taken care of by family members. We never really talked about whether I should of stayed home, but because my job was only 5-10 minutes away and I had constant contact with my son several times a day, we didn't even think about it. Only until we moved to the USA (my hubbys job brought us here), we decided it was best for me to stay home because 1) Preschool/Daycare in our area is very expensive and we cannot afford it 2) I didn't know much about the place we are living in to put my son into daycare 3) It was the right time for me to stay home to take care of him 4) My husband has a good job and even though things are a little tight, my son is so much happier (and I am too) and we get to do lots of things together everyday 5) Its the best thing we ever did for our son! Even though sometimes I do miss working, I am much happier that I am home with my son.

I dont have a child yet, but I would like to say something since you are going back and forth ! Well, there are certain choices you make in your life, right? You have a choice of staying home or going to work.. Now, you dont seem interested in your work, but then again, you will be tight in money if you dont go.. Why dont you try to look for something that you can do from home and at the same time, earn some money? In other words, look out there for some other options to bring in the earnings..Or stay home till your child gets to a certain age and then, look out for a job.. Whatever choice you make, you have to keep in mind, Huge responsiblities are coming up on your way when the child grows up..Wouldnt it be great if you can do something at the earliest and save up something for your child????
