Is it true that mothers who preferred to stay at home to raise their kids had a full time job? Considering that they have a husband who works for them. I often heard this over school meetings with other parents who says they have a full time job working as a mother. If yes, do you think (being a full time mothers) is the toughest job there is?

If you are doing the job right, it is absolutely one of the hardest jobs there are. Screw this up, turn out a really creepy kid, and you are the one they will blame on the evening news. But in all seriousness yeah I think it's hard. I've been doing it for over 20 years and there have been days, I would have rather dug ditches, I probably would have had more energy at the end of those days as well. This is another one of those loaded topics where people start drawing lines in the sand and throwing judgements across them. Work or stay home..parenthood is work. Both situations have their share of guilt and second guessing, and no matter which way you go few of us truly do the job 100% alone.

Yes, raising kids is a full time job. heck, you don't just watch a child. You tutor them, teach them, train them,become their chaffuer and much more. Children rearing is not easy...nor can you just half do something. As anything you screw up on or forget to teach. Your child can suffer for in later years. That is a full time job if you ask me, just trying not to screw up.

I think yes it is much tougher to those who had their first baby.they got feed the baby no one knows when it cries or come out of sleep.it takes a lot to calm down a baby.i say that it is like an 24hour job to raise kids until they are 3-4 years.gud day.
