I am now, but I haven't always been. Some people make me feel bad about not having a job. I feel like being a mom is a big job. How do you feel?

24 hours 7 days a week job. If you can stay home that is such a blessing. I used to be able to but then my husband went back to school and I no longer can. I would love to eventually stay home again until the kids are in school and then work part time until they are out or find something I can do from home. Ignore those people, they are either jealous or dumb. The best person to care for your children are you...end of story! Best of Luck to you!

Being a mom is a challenging yet extremely rewarding job. I am currently pregnant with my first. After he or she is born, I plan on staying home for awhile. Then I am going to go back to school to get my RN. After that, I will work as will mu husband until we have a good amount of money saved and I am settled in a job. Then, he plans to quit his current job and start a small computer repair shop from home while he takes care of the children. We are not fond of the idea of too many babysitters. We know for a while when we are getting things situated we will need to rely on babysitters, but after that we won't have to worry about it. I don't think there is anything wrong with being a stay at home mom. If my husband made more money I would too, but I can make more than him being a nurse, that's why we decided to do it this way.

Being a mom is a big job, but yes I do work. I am a teacher. I would love to stay at home, but it is just not financially possible (Insurance is the main reason I continue to work). I like knowing if something happened to my husband and I pray that nothing will that I have a stable job and could take care of my children. It has it's good and bad side, but if I could choose and it was possible I would stay at home with my babies :)

I am not a stay at home mom . I work full time and have three children. I do not view the job of a stay at home mom as being any different than the job I have now. I give kudos to those that choose to stay at home with their children. It is truly a hard job! I would not feel bad about it, raising your children is your job!

Do not let people put you down about being a stay at home mom. YOU DO HAVE A JOB.
Being a mom and house wife is a full time job. Your job starts from the time you get up until the time you go to bed. You are a daycare, cook, maid, butler, laundry mat, etc. You also run the errons, do the grocery shopping, take the kids to the DR, etc.

I am a stay at home Mom and it is a bigger job than anybody with a money paying job could ever understand its 24/7 no weekends! But the benifits are ten fold! I love it and I couldn't feel better about being home for my little boy! You are doing the right thing!

Being a stay at home mom is harder than working outside! I never realized until i became a full time stay at homer(i have a 5 yo + 3 yo) after 3 years of feeling isolated from the "real world" i got a part time job that actually allows me to take my kids with. it has done wonders for my sanity. just being able to talk to adults on a regular basis! so for me outside work is my vacation :) lol
i dont think people will ever realize how tough the job is, unless they do it themselves.
But i do LOVE always being there to see there milestones and watch them grow, i would not trade that for anything!
good luck!

I want to be. I am 38 weeks and my fiance and I have agreed that I will be off with my son for the first 2 years. He wants to have our first child after we get married this fall. People say that I am archaic for wanted to be a stay at home mom, but at 9 months, I know that this whole parenting thing is going to be my most prized position. I want to be at home with all the children I ever have because I think there is nothing better than making that connection with your own child at a young age.

I wish I could be a stay at home mom, but I am the main breadwinner in the household (my husband's job is hard work, but doesn't pay well, mine is hard work and pays ok). Unfortunately we both have to work full-time to make ends meet.
Welcome to the poorest city in the country........
I think it's awesome that some people can stay home with their kids, it's great for the kids and the parents. I hate it when people try to make me and my husband feel bad because we have to work full-time and entrust our child to other people's care.
It goes both ways...
