Stay at home mothers,what do you think of them?

Answer 1

The're Simply Pieces of Diamonds !

Answer 2

I've always been a stay-at-home Mom and I love it. I do more in a day than most people do all week. You couldn't pay people enough to do what I do. My children have always come home from school and they knew I was going to be here. I would hear them talk about this kid or that kid going home to an empty house or a babysitter and always felt bad for that child. If a mother has to work, I totally understand, but since I had the option of staying home, that is the route I took and never regretted it.

Answer 3

I'm a SAHM, and I think that as SAHMs we are doing what's best for our families. I know too, that not everyone can stay home financially (believe me, been there, done that). But, it's the best job ever, a little boring at times, maybe, but it's stress free, which really helps my family out a lot when I'm not running around like a chicken with my head cut off as it is when I have two fulltime jobs to do (one outside the home, one inside the home). Daycare wasn't working for our kids, they weren't learning anything. Now that I'm home, I work with them on ABC's, animals, colors, songs, playing, ect... ect.. It's amazing how fast they're learning. For the most part, I think that SAHMs are great people doing the best that they can for their own familie's situation. But, of course, every barrel has a bad apple - whether it be a lazy SAHM who doesn't teach her kids anything and sits on the couch all day, or the "holier than thou" people who just can't seem to get off their high horse and think that all working parents are ruining their children and neglecting them. To me, working moms are super women! They have two jobs to do!

Answer 4

What do you mean? Someone has to watch the children. Someone has to take care of them. It is best if that is the childs mother. Now I know most women have to work but even they will admit its better if Mom can stay home.

Answer 5

I believe that whatever a mother thinks is right for themselves and their child, is what is right for them and their child, whether they choose to work or stay at home. Being a parent is not an easy task...it is a job in itself. I have tonnes of respect for any stay at home mother, and I do encourage it if that is what any woman wants to do.
I am a stay at home mother, as I believe this is what is right for my daughter. She is a needy and fussy child and has very little family to be close to. I feel it is best for her if I am her primary caregiver for her first years as opposed to a daycare. When she starts school, I intend on working during those hours.

A stay at home mother is NOT a lazy woman who just doesn't want to work. A stay at home mother has a job 24/7 between taking care of her child(ren) and keeping up the housework. It is a misconception to think that all stay at home mothers are lazy women who sit on the couch all day watching Oprah and soap operas, eating bon-bons... though I am sure some are (lol).

Working mothers are not neglectful mothers, either.

It all depends on what is right for the individual situation.

Answer 6

I think some women prefer to stay at home whilst others prefer to work. My sisters are stay at home mothers whereas i would prefer to work and my mother was much happier working. If the parent is happy i think the child will be happy so if you want to stay at home and you can afford to then you should.

Answer 7

After the child is 5-6 years old,there is no need of 'stay-at-home' mother or anybody.I have never had any stay-at-home parent and I grew up happy and love them a lot.

Answer 8

It is my calling and career. My husband is currently working as a student pastor as part of his seminary education. When we moved to Michigan from Columbus, OH (yes, we've heard the jokes; I'm not a sprots person and I'm not impressed), I was blessed to be able to stay home without kids. My husband took out some more student loans, he is receiving a monetary stipend, and we're living in the church parsonage with the utilities (water, electric, gas and local phone, our cable is out of our pockets) paid.

I've worked and while I've enjoyed my past few jobs, I've always felt more comfortable at home, as though that is where I belong. Okay. I'm not June Cleaver. I don't want to be. My housekeeping skills need major improvement and it's something I've been working on.

I'm currently pregnant with our first child. In August we'll be moving back to Columbus so my husband can finish his senior year. (When he is done, he'll have acheived his Master's of Divinity degree and the degree he needs to give him start for his doctorate work.) Finacially, it will not be practical for me to work, once I pay for gas, a babysitter, the occasioanal new work clothes (dpending on where I worked), etc. Besides, the best thing we can do for our child(ren) is to have me home.

My mother worked on and off when I was growing up. My MIL worked during my husband's entire childhood. At least with my husband, it was his aunt and grandparents who cared for him. Unfortunately, my child won't have much of that luxury. (My in-laws do live about an hour north of Columbus and my yonger SIL, who is attending an OSU branch, will be taking a class in Columbus this fall and my MIL is going to come and visit those days. Yay. I'm already grateful for that.) After school, we'll move and we don't know where we'll be. My parnents are only three hours from Columbus, and my sister lives in a suburb. We're going to take advantage of the closeness while we've got it.

I feel as though it is my calling to stay home and raise, educate (within my scholastic intellellictual scope and then some) and nurture our children.

My sister works. She worked before she and her ex-husband broke up. I don't know how she did it, especially at the beginning. Yet, that works for her and her daughter. For me, I can't fathom giving my baby to somebody else to raise. I thank God for this blessing of being able to stay home and raise and nurture and care for my whole family, including my husband.

My two, well, five cents.

Answer 9

I think they're lucky to be able to be home with their children growing up. I wish I could. But, on the other hand, it is good for children to "get out" and experience daycare and other kids as well. But, I sure wish I could be home. I use my vacation days to just take a day here and there to stay home with my daughter now and again. No money to take a real vacation anyway ! hehehe

Answer 10

Well, I think they're awesome!! My mum used to be a teacher but gave up and stayed home after she had me. She cooks, cleans and cares for our whole family!! Its terrific, I think. And the source of income for our family is not at all lower (for our family). My dad works and I'm going to an expensive private all-girls school next year!!

Answer 11

I am a stay-at-home dad.

All the stay-at-home moms talk about two things.
The young ones talk about "their lil' darlings", the middle aged ones want to tell you all about the neighbors, and the old ones just glare at you knowing that it is THEM ALL the conversation is about.
