What do women think about work vs. being a mom at home?

Answer 1

Im a mom at home and I love being able to be with my child

Answer 2

Working outside the home is to earn based on your capacity, skills, intelligence and creativity. Being a mom at home is a full-time job with no benefits and not enough pay. (Most of the time you are unappreciated.) But the hardest job between the 2 is being a full-time mom. Moms who work in both homes and office should get a medal of honor. Moms who work full time as home based mommies should be given a statue. It really depends on the mother - if she feels she can leave her kids or if her kids are all grown up and she can still work - then working is a good thing. But some women have no choice but to work or else they don't eat. Either which way - mothers who work - office or home - being a parent is a full time 25-hour-9-day-week job.

Answer 3

I think as parents you have to do what you have to when it comes to supporting a family. And I commend the women who work and raise a child. But I know from first hand experience that a child benefits more from a stay at home mother. And remember I am not putting down working mothers. My mom was with me everyday 24/7 when I was little. I was potty trained at 9 months, talking in sentences at 10 months and reading at a 3rd grade level in Kindergarten. So I believe I accomplished all this because my mom was always there and always playing educational games with me. If she was not there I would have probably just set in front of the TV all day and never learned a thing.

Answer 4

I was a stay at home mom to four sons until they turned of age..Well, I worked the first few years of their lives and was able to stay home after marrying my 2nd husband in 1993. I dedicated my whole existance to my husband and boys and when my husband became terminally ill , I became his full time caregiver until his death last year..
Now, I would give anything to have him back but that is just a dream...The one thing about the whole situation that really ticks me off is that when I would tell other women that I was a stay at home mom and caring for my ill husband they would look at me like I was an uneducated, lazy bum....Did you all know that if a wife and mom was paid a salary for everything she does for her husband and kids she would be pulling in 135,000 a year.. And that was the conclusion of all the big news media in the U.S.
You can't have everything in this world , so make sure that your priorities are right ..A fancy career and a shiny car can't take the place of a family life...Only the family will suffer if earthly gain is put before what is really important. Love.....

Answer 5

That is a personal decision every mom has to make for themselves. Before I became a mother, I assumed I would go back to work after the normal 6-week maternity leave allowed by most companies. After the fact, I couldn't imagine doing anything but raising our son and being there for all of the milestones. But, I am fortunate enough to be financially able to do this. My husband works 12 hour days 6 days a week so that I can stay home with our son. We are both sacrificing our time together and rest from work (both his job and mine as a mother) but we feel it is best for our son to have a parent taking care of him. If, financially, I am unable to continue staying home with him, I would go back to work and not feel terrible. Children thrive with love and attention, and there are wonderful people out there who run daycares and private care centers and educate and care for children outside of family life. Anyway, it's basically a decision for the individual based on their feelings and financial situation.

Answer 6

I have done both. I think it's very difficult to balance what is best for you, for your children and family. I do know, that if you are happy and fulfilled through working, that can't be bad for your children. I also know that they grow up very fast, and the first early years they change so much and so quickly, it's worth considering working only part-time if you can.
I wish more companies would offer flex time, and would be more open to helping women and men make better choices for their families.

Answer 7

I think women should just do what makes them comfortable. I personally would be bored out of my skull as a stay at home mom, but I respect women who make that decision.

Answer 8

it s between husband and wife. if they are able to maintain the Harmony in family even both were employed. it is well and good. otherwise being a mom in House is a privilege. the society has produced so much of violent longing (for love) souls which were raised in homes where mothers were mainly employed.

Answer 10

I think there is a time for work and a time for being a mom, some time is hard to split the two, some time is necessary.
