How many moms would stay home if they had the option?

Question

I am 26 and my husband and I both have to work to make ends meet. However in a couple of years he should be making enough for me to not have to work. I love my job and almost everyone tells me that staying home might sound wonderful at the time but I would start to get miserable. I just don't see how that could happen, I love spending time with my child.

Answer 1

its a different kind of happy if u be a housewife....

and make sure that u have a hobby its just to make time fast so that u wound fell boring

Answer 2

I am currently a stay-at-home mom. I love being able to bond with my children. My daughter is getting ready to start school, and I am getting ready to have another child. I don't want someone else being in my children's life more than me or their father.

Sometimes I do get lonely. There are not a whole lot of women that stay home with the children. The majority of my day is spent alone with my daughter, which I love, don't get me wrong. I get to see the goofy and crazy things that she will do for me and no one else.

I am currently in college, so I don't plan on being a stay-at-home mother forever. As soon as my youngest starts school, I will be able to enjoy my career that I have picked out for myself.

Answer 3

Honestly, I don't know !!  I stayed home for 6 months with my daughter after she was born.  Going back was very hard.  But now that I have been working for the past 6 years, it gives me time away, to be with grown ups.  I miss her, but working during gives me more appreciation for the time I do have with her.  It would be a tough decision for me, but I know that I will have to work for the rest of my life, unless my dreams of winning the lotto come true !
