The disadvantage of a working mother.

That's one of the main reasons why I stayed home after giving birth to my first son. I would like to go back to work but circumstances paved the way. I have friends who worked 9-5 and have kids left to their yaya's or helpers and end up crying whenever their kids doesn't want to bond with them. Much to their dismay, their kids were much too attached to the nannies. So, when I got pregnant, I decided to be a hands-on mom. First because when I was a kid, I was also left with my nanny and I don't want my kids to experience it.Second, I waited for a long time to have a baby and I dont want someone else to take care of him. My solution was to find a job that won't let me be far away from my kids. I'm at home doing beadworks and selling them to my friends and small gift shops.I consigned clothes and accessories to some boutiques and malls. You can learn how to make frozen products like tocino or longaniza and others. Or you can find online jobs like data entry, typing or blogs. Your kids would surely benefit a lot when you're at home and soon you will reap the rewards of having to see your kids grow up properly because you are the one training them to be good persons.

u need to have a bonding time, for example every night before going to bed.. or train ur baby be on ur side in sleep time,, i know ur situation is not easy,, i cant explain hows u feel coz im a mother also of a 1 year old baby girl,, but im in my home only.. thats why i have a full time to my baby. try to have a wonderful weekend,then ur baby wait u for the week end, she feels excited when week end is near and talked to ur yaya to explain to ur baby why ur not in ur home. i hope u understand my english!

if you are a single parent i know that you should have to work to earn money for your family. i know that it s hard to work when you are leaving the house and your children. So i think that you should go and find someone who can take care your family...Even though they have yaya you should always put your attention to them

Hello, I'd say the best thing to do is to make the most out of the time you have and really consider staying home with them. I've recently made this transition for my three children and I've seen such a change in our relationships! I love being home with them, and although it is a sacrifice, it's well worth it! Plus there are many things you can do to earn money from home. It takes time, but its there. Check out my profile for ways.

I would say just keep talking to them and reminding them whos who. My daughter a couple times called her grandmother momma because she was aorund so much, and that happened with me being there. It was the most heart wreching thing in the world. But I kept telling her no baby thats mimi and i'm momma. And now theres not a bit of confusion.

i don't know of a solution but as a son of a working mother i can tell u i would have been much happier with her home

I can sympathize with you as I am also a working mom and I know how it is to leave your children every day. In this world, it seems impossible to not be a working mom and yet we want our children with us. I am also a home school mom and so I do spend a lot of time with my children but it would be easier if I was a stay at home mom and could be out of the workforce.

I think the best way is balancing your time between work and family which I know is tough. You can however, spend some more time with your kids suring your rest days wherein you don't have to go to work. Or schedule a vacaion to bond with them. In that way, your kids will still be close to you and acknowledge you as a parent.

It is hard to work and be a mom at the same time. I'm not saying that it can't be done but it is challenging. It's true that having a nanny would ease a lot of the demands of having a baby. I suggest that you spend as much of your time outside of work with the baby. Try to finish what you have to do at work and never bring it home. This way, your family time is really family time
