Come on moms, let your voice be heard? I think that's a bunch of bull. Being a mom is being a mom. Weather you work or not!! The ones that should be debating should be having kids or not having kids. What do you say? And are you a SAHM or working? I'm both plus one! I stay at home, go to school and do small jobs online!! Plus I have my own playgroup.

I stay at home with my kids, but I do not put down mothers who work. I am tired of this being a debate, Us mothers should be there for each other and bring each other up, and support whichever decision the one chooses. People do what is best for them and their family. Come on mothers, unite, dont do this to each other!

My daughter is 5 months old, and I've just gone back to work. I'm pleased I've been able to stay at home with her for so long. I currently work 2 part time jobs. One is a babysitting job that I can take my daughter to. The other one requires her to be in daycare 3 days a week. She has only just started daycare, but seems to really enjoy it. I picked her up today and she didn't want to come home! I would love to be able to stay at home with her fulltime, but its just not possible. Bills have to be paid, and I wouldn't be a very responsible mother if I wasn't able to feed or clothe my child.

I would love to be a stay at home mom but unfortunatly it is not possible. I do however, only work when my child is in school so I dont have to fork out money for day care.

I currently am a WAHM with a teenager. I have recently decided to go back to outside employment. I haven't been able to get my business off the ground and my standard of living has gone down. So the best thing that I can do right now is bring in a steady paycheck, while attempting to build my business.
