Well I'm a stay-at-home mom. I miss working, I had a great job in the Navy that I really enjoyed but my son is more important. I don't feel like I contribute as much because I don't earn a paycheck. I know that what I'm doing is contributing (cleaning, cooking, organizing, paying bills, watching our son so we don't need daycare) but I still fell guilty. I was going to start watching other children so as to earn money but I'm pregnant again so that's out the window (no one wants you to watch their baby when you're only going be able to do it for a short time). It works for our family though and I cherish the fact that my son doesn't spend most of his waking hours with some stranger.

My wife was a stay at home Mother for the first 9 years of our Daughter's life. She just went back to work part time so she is still able to drop her off and pick her up from school each day.
She would tell you that she is in complete agreement with you!
She loved being able to stay home, do her exercise and be a stay at home Mom. She always had the place in excellent shape and our dinners were always great! Now I help out alot more with things so that she doesn't feel like she has to do it all herself.
Since we both have jobs, we both do our part around the house, I don't mind at all. Someday she will go back to doing this but for now, we are both happy and enjoying things.
Good question

Of course you love it !!! Sleep in late, throw some pop-tarts on the table for the kids while you're watching oprah, then take a nap, wake up and throw some snack packs on the table, go put your feet up on the couch and watch more stupid shows, and maybe if you feel like it you will make some stripes on the carpet with the vacuum so it looks like you did something. All the while you're just getting fatter and fatter and you're husband is losing interest in your lazy *** and he starts sleeping with someone from his work. LIKE BEING A HOUSEWIFE NOW ??????? And if you don't even have kids then you're just the laziest bum around !!!

I enjoy it most times. It's tough to not lose your identity, though. And you have to find something that will allow adult interaction or else you lose a part of yourself that is so valuable to you and your kids. I can honestly say that most days I don't sit down from morning until night. With three kids there is always something going on and something to do-have fun, teach something, be interactive.
It also helps that I have a husband that is totally understanding and appreciative of what I do. He has stayed at home with the kids during a 3-day outing of mine and also a 5 day hospital stint. He couldn't wait to go back to work and he asked me how in the heck I did that day after day.

I am not married but I am a stay at home "premature" housewife I like to call myself. I absolutely love it. I stay home and take care of the house and wait for my baby to be born and it's so relaxing to have so much freedom.

i guess alot of that depends on how much money you have if you will feel guilty about being at home because you have to cut back on things or not that has alot to do with how you feel about being at home Anyways to answer your questions i always worked untill my second child was born because i remmarried a hispanic that wanted me at home my first white lazy husband wanted me to work after my daughter from him because he doesn't value family. Anyways at first i hated it because i felt lonely then i got into a routine now i love it i have no time to be lonely because i am so busy my day actually starts at six am and i pride myself on how much better my families life is and it's so nice to enjoy my second child i love my first one to death to but i never got the same opportunitiy with her. i treasure my time with her and this has made a bond that wasn't there right at birth being with someone and taking care of all their needs instead of a daycare really helps you bond with them. It's really wonderful i think staying home after a baby helps you enjoy being a stay at home mom if my kids were older and didn't need me so much i think i would feel useless at home but i'm able to do so much for them it's like having a fulltime job anyway.
