What do you think of moms that don't work?

Answer 1

There is no such thing as a mum that doesn't work. They would have to be the hardest working people around. There job is 24/7.

Answer 2

Im a stay at home mom and I am constantly on the go and working. There is so much around the house to be done and I have 3 boys and a baby girl on the way. I have not always been a stay at home mom. I just think my kids need me around and dont need to be taken care of anyone else like they were when I was working. If the family can afford it, then I think its great.

Answer 3

Very good question. My wife and I did that through most of the time our kids were in school. She was a good mom and excellent housekeeper, budgeter, you name it. However, we've always struggled financially since most of the time we only had my income and it's never been huge. For some it works, and I think it is good if one parent can be there for the kids and take care of the home, but it can cause problems, so make sure you won't be struggling to pay the bills, that causes many other problems, like we are getting a divorce because of some of those. Of course, she's going back to school, getting a masters, and will make double my income, plus what I'll be struggling to pay her. Cool, huh.

Answer 4

I think that if it's what they want to do, then more power to them! I personally, work and work hard and alot! I want to cut back when I have kids, but for now I work alot! I come from a family that had a mother at hoem with us all of the time. Before we started school she didn't work. Once all of us were in school, she went to work a little bit, but she was still able to drop us off at school every morning and pick us up in the afternoons! She ONLY worked when we were at school and she was off when we were off. During the summer, she would either not work, or we went with her and played with her bosses children, who were also there!
My husband's mother was and still is a stay at home mother! Even though she no longer has kids at home, she still doesn't work outside of the home! Which I like, because she has already told me that she would be willing to keep my child, if I continue to work some once I have children!
I was able to develop a bond with my mother, that I wouldn't have had if she wasn't around as much!
I also have a respect for mothers that work. that takes determination and energy! I will most likely be a working mother, just because I want it that way!
good luck with your decision! I can't make that decision for you, but I can give my personal experiences!

Answer 5

I have been a SAHM for the past 4 years, prior to that I worked full time in the marketing industry. I have to say that I love what I do more than anything! It is the most difficult, challenging and awesome job I have ever had. The pay sucks but I have been here for ALL of my 2 little ones major milestones and many of my teenagers as well. It's hard but it is the most rewarding thing ever.

Answer 6

I love it and wish more moms could stay at home that want to and don't have to work. Also there is no such thing as a mom that doesn't work. Either at home or in a job outside of the home...Every mom works.

Answer 7

What on earth is a mom that doesn't work?

If you mean, what do I think of a mom who knows that more than 10 hours of separation from mommy a week is devastating to an infant and toddler and so doesn't leave her child with substitutes, I say - hats off to her for doing a good job.

If you mean, what do I think of a mom who supports her family by making a warm and happy home for her kids, I think she's great, too.

If you mean, what do I think of moms who rescue their kids from public schools by unschooling/homeschooling them, I think those moms are super duper.

What do you mean?

Answer 8

It's actually not my business. My wife and i are both Mental Health professionals and we enjoy the lifestyle that our income provides.As far as other women who choose not to work i say they have a choice . Besides, anyone who has been a "houseperson" can attest to the fact that managing a household isn't the easiest thing to do and entails many areas of "expertise" to keep all activities in and around the home functioning at an optimal level. i say Hats off to stay at home moms, or stay at home dads too

Answer 9

I think they have one of the most important jobs out there... I think that they are blessed beyond measure if they can stay at home with their children and actually do most of the raising of their kids themselves! I think their kids are blessed to have them home with them.... I honestly believe that the country couldnt afford to pay stayat home moms for all they do.... they are on call 24/7/365... for 18 years straight/per child... no pension other than the love of their children, if they are so lucky...

Answer 10

Well it depends on what they do when they aren't working!!! If they don't work and don't spend time with their kids it's one thing. However, having been a working (lasted 5 months) & stay-at-home mom (for 3 years) i found it very rewarding and undervalued! People (mostly men, because my husband doesn't) dont' understand how much work goes into working a 24//7/365 job. That's exactly what being a SAHM is. If you are questioning whether you like it, try working... But i found myself more disappointed each day of work not being with my kids. The bad thing for me is, we need the extra income. But NO ONE can raise your kids the way you can!

Answer 11

I am a stay at home mom! The other day I said to my husbsand "this is the hardest job that I have ever had!!!" I spend my day entertaining and loving my 7th month old daughther and would not enjoy anthing else right now. I am blessed to be able to stay at home and raise our daughter!
