His job pays the bills, and my little online survey payments & ebay sales make up a little extra play money. Those "career" people are the ones who really lose out.... I wouldn't want to trade places with any of them.

I am always amazed when you hear people talking about full time work, coaching soccer, grad classes and on and on. You wonder when they spend any time with their family!

I could post loads on this subject but I would sound like a whiner...so I wont.

I would give anything to be a stay at home mom again....Well not anything, but I would love it. It is the best thing.

I am a SAHM and LOVE IT! My son has never been in daycare. Some people cant believe I stay at home while having a degree. I say THANK YOU TO MY HUSBAND who works hard for me to stay home. He knows it is work...but at the same time..it is great to spend the day with my little man that is growing SO FAST! He starts "all day" school next school year, i am thinking of teaching or something in the school system. that way i am off when he is.

We learned to make do. God always provided. We don't have as many things as a lot of folks, but we have great kids and wonderful memories.

We don't regret our decision for her to be a stay at home mom at all.

We don't regret it either! I've been there with my children from day 1. My children have never been in daycare either, thank God. I am proud of what we are= = = a family!!!!

It's because instead of owning up to the fact that they made a mess out of their lives, they will attack, with venom....

You go girl! Thank yo man!!!! I do too!

Oh, I'm not a stay at home mom. If you were to ask my hubby if I stay home, he would laugh his head off. I don't stay home!!! We all work hard. It really gets under my skin when people think that because I don't work outside the home, that I just sit around all day and do nothing. This Mama works, hard.... And it pays off! In my neck of the woods though, it is very common to find mothers who stay home and homeschool.

it is so rewarding. I"ve taught all my children how to read and I was with them with their first steps, first laughs, and first bruises and cuts and scrapes. And many say they would have to have a break, but I get breaks. I don't get a lot of time by myself, but in a about 14 years, all my children will be out of the house and I'll have all the time I need then.... I get time to relax and talk on AFF for now...!!!
