I am a very happy, I think the best place for me is home with my kids. My husband is the one who convinced me to quit my job and stay home and I think it is the best thing I have ever done. Unfortunately, it is only the mom part that I am happy about, the wife part stinks. Since I do not contribute to the income anymore I feel that my husband has no respect for me. He feels that he is more deserving of things because he makes the money. In Sept. I will be starting taking care of some other children in my home to help with the income and maybe that will help with my husbands bad attitute. Now that I am home for my children, however, I would not leave them to go back to work.

i was once a stay at home mom...
- yes, i was happy in one side but depress on the other half... there is pure great joy in caring for the family, seeing the kids grow beautifully and become successful ones - this is one sacrifice moms usually offer their kids/family that sometimes is never appreciated.
-yet was unhappy and depress... could not follow a dream that you once have... the pressure of becoming the perfect mom, totally dependent to a husband in financial needs or what the future brings, could not do much but wait for the family to come home.
-now i work, full time and have a better self respect then. as a family, everyone must sacrifice not just the mom...
But really, I APPRECIATE THE MOMS WHO HAVE MAKE IT THROUGH AS A STAY AT-HOME WIFE & MOM.

yes and no. I have been used to being a career woman for 10 years so I did not sharpen my cooking and homemaking skills like I should have. Now that I am at home with the kids and cooking instead of ordering take out, I find that I don't like my own cooking at all and I hate chores. I love my kids but they zap my energy and seem to think that every thing going on in their lives is a big emergency. I did not have to deal with all day before and had more patience to listen to the rambling on and on and even indulging their every whim. Now that it is a 24 hour job it is all driving me nuts! I know that I will get the hang of it soon but I sure miss the office right about now. Men who have wives at home taking care of them should thank their lucky stars all they have to do is work and bring home a pay check. Care giving is a much tougher job and if it were a paid profession house wives would be making same amount of money as a CEO.

I am about as UNhappy as you can get.. It's because I'm worn out.. (I also am a marathon runner.. 5 mi. a day.. It gives me energy.) I do more **** around here than the 3 people who live here and hold down factory jobs, and get out of here. I've got an ll year old kid, she's pretty kool. It would be o.k. if I got some kind of share of the money (I get -zero- 'allowance' IF that's what ya call money a 53 year old gets.. ****, I don't know..) Everyone else sits on their fat arses and I run around like a total fool. It is my own fault and that doesn't bug me as much as the fact I went to college and married someone w/a 5th grade education (..I thought he'd be a 'father' to my 3 fatherless kids.. wrong...) He figures if he makes ME kiss his fat (and getting fatter) ***, me a 'snot college woman' then he must be some stud! (stud? hell, he's impotent as hell.) He wants me to cook like 3 homemade pies a week and he can't even ******* talk.. He 'writes me shitty E-mails' (in the same house)/leaves me shitty notes (can't spell either.) I can't drive/he won't let me drive HIS precious 2006 car. I get to go out once a week, to Meijer's 7 miles away for groceries so I "won't act out of line." I'd kill for a friend.. hell, a lover? ****, I don't know. I'm so confused.. and TO answer your question, **** no, I'm not happy! ..lol later.. melancholia

I am happy...but sometimes I do miss working/having convo with people that don't involve kids etc. I think what keeps me happy is that I am really busy...play dates, kids activities, house stuff and a lot of friends...otherwise I would be bored and go a bit crazy. I have worked part time out of my home...and if you can have that option...its a great one. Good luck!

I could never be!!! I'm a wife and a full time student and I cannot bear to be at home all day even though I do find making supper and such domestic things wonderful for my husband.

yes I am. I love being home with my children. I do wish I could help with bills but I know it's better for me to be at home with them instead of some one else taking care of them. oops, this is my boyfriends screen name sorry, but yes I am.
