homemaker does it useful?

In my opinion being a full time mother is a tough and time consuming job, but I wonder sometimes if it is really worth it. Unless you significant other is making an extremely large amount of money it is almost impossible to get by, especially with children. I think it is alright to be a full time mother when they are not yet in school, but as soon as they start kindergarten you should go back to work and contribute financially.

I am a staying home mom also. I would say being a stay home home is a lot of work but I won't say it is diffuclt. It is easier to have a scedule with your kids, make them follow the routine everyday with your own housework routine also. I like to do all the housework for the day in the early morning, play with the kids, give them lunch, put them to nap then I can have my own time to do whatever - lunch time, nap time, knitting time, surfing on the computer? anything for less than 2 hours; once they get up, I get back to be busy again and get ready to dinner when daddy comes home.

I think it depends on individual preferences and what the person really wants in her life. I quit my job last year, and have become a full-time mother for about one and a half year. My main purpose is to take care of my son, and I really enjoy being a full-time mother, because I can spend time with my son, accompanying him on his growing up path. Of course, I have to say being full-time mother is not an easy task, you are expected to take care of the kids and also take care of the household. But, if one enjoys taking care of kids and the family, I suppose she'll like it. I really think I've made wise move to become a full-time mother. By the way, my husband doesn't earn much, in fact I have a quite good pay job before I quit. But we always think money is not that important for us, at least we can still sustain with the earnings we have, just that we can't spend too much. Also, besides a full-time mother, I am a freelance programmer too, so I can still earn some income to support our expenses. Although I can be very busy sometimes, especially when I rush for my projects, I still enjoy doing this, because these are all what I like to do.

It is difficult, stay at home and do the works at home then taking care of kids single handedly. There is a general impression that a mother who sits at home is not having much works, but it is wrong, she always has lot of works and it is sad her works are not counted because she is not earning anything for herself or for home. Rarely her works get appreciated. Personally I know how much hard work needed to look after the kids and works at home.

Speaking of my family's economic situation and I would definitely not happy. We can never reach the end of the month, despite the retirement income of my parents. You know, life is always more expensive, we are certainly not the only people having this problem. However all is not comfort me at all! For this reason, I understand you perfectly. This situation is very sad, yet it must be able to move forward and hope that soon, many things improve

I'm a stay at home mom. My husband doesn't make tones of money but its live able. We can't afford everything we need but he works hard and we have family that helps out. We both can't afford to work with a 14 month old and another baby on the way. Being a mom that stays home it is hard and demanding then any other job I know or have had. I rather be home with my daughter then out working because well I don't work well with other adults to well never have and never will. I've always been a child person that does better with kids then with her own age group. But you don't have to be rich to have kids or have the best job. We lived off of 7.50 for a year. Now my husband has a better job after losing the fast food one he had. Now he makes $10 hour works an 8 to 5 job which is nice because he is home on the weekend with us girls.
