I just want to be a mommy..

i think it's okay for you to stay home with your kids.. your husband might think parenting does not really influence the little ones.. but trust me.. i'm from broken family.. and i know what's the feeling when you don't get to see your parents with you.. sometimes you will feel lost.. and as you grew up.. yes..i do agree they will be independent.. but they won't be close to you anymore..and that is set for live.. as for me.. it's really difficult if you ask me to be closer with my mother.. i think i'm just pretending when i meet her... i can't tell her how much i don't need her love anymore.. since she didn't give me from the start.. that's why.. staying at home with kids is not a bad thing.. in fact, it changes everything..

I love to stay home with my kids, but I work too. I stay home all day with my 2 kids and after my husbnd gets home from his job, shich is where we get the bulk of our money, I go off to work 2 nights a week and most saturdays. My kids never see a sitter so I figure I can still call my self a stay at home mom. It has worked out for us so far. It is hard to work all day with the kids and keeping up the home then to go off to work, but we deal with what we have to. What ever we can do to keep a float. One da we will figure out how to make a miracle budget, for now we have compromised and I wouldnt give it up for the world.

It is not wrong for you to want to spend time with your children. I would recommend staying home if that is what you wish. Your husband needs to realize that this is time that you are never going to get back. Your children are just going to get older, and you want to cherish them each and every waking moment. I would act now if I was you.

Yup - I know what you mean with not knowing if hubby is on board or what. My husband kept just saying "yup" whenever we discussed it. I thought this was his nice way of saying "shut up please, I don't want to do this". So finally we were doing devotions together one night and the topic was trusting God. Truly trusting God means that you will be willing to do His will even when you don't know how it's going to work out. So through our conversation we determined that it is God's will for me to stay home (turns out we have both been praying about it for a long time and we both see His leading in that direction) and his "yup" response meant "yeah, I agree with you. God will figure this out, let's do it". I'm so glad we really talked about it. If you don't sit down and set a date that you will resign and that you will be done you'll put it off forever. As a paralegal, you should be able to find a legit job working from home part time. I would check around. You never know, there might be a lawyer somewhere who has no office space yet but could use some help. I had posted to you before about selling discovery toys. You seem a bit overqualified, but you never know - you might like it. I hope I didn't offend you. I didn't know what kind of education you had at the time (I'm just a B.A. in Soc. - not too much I can do with that).

This year,I am getting married with my bf.I want to have a baby,but he thinks that it is too tired. At first ,i'm afraid of having a baby.My friend said,if she could choose again ,she hoped she didnt have a baby.She complained that she has no her own time,after working ,she has to rush to her house to see her baby.When she arrived at home,she cant do anything but hugging the baby.She felt very tired. But another friend said,if a woman had no baby,she would be regretted when she became old. I dont know what should I do.I admire you have the courage to be a mom.

Then do a job from home if you are a parlegal or a journalist aren't there things in that field that you can do with your home being your office, I have written eleven childrens books from home whilst looking after my four children.

There's nothing wrong with wanting to stay home with the kids. You're a mom and it is natural for you to want to stay home and take care of the kids. Mine is a different situation, though. My hubby wants me to stop working and take care of our son but I'm still indecisive on it because I have a lot to prove to myself. He keeps telling to stay home and be with our kid. Maybe, I will, after I give birth to our second baby. It's not that I don't love my kids, I love them. It's just that I have to do what I've always wanted to do. But I'm thinking otherwise now. Maybe I'd stay with the kids so I could spend much time with them. Anyway, I salute for being a mother and wanting to be a real mom!

I love children and have three of my own. I love haveing them around and being with them. I wish you could stay home and be with yours. I think it is your choice as a woman to stay home or not. I was working but now I stay home and love every minute of it.

I am a man, and a proud father of one tiny-cute daughter. your will is the good one. and I think that what women should do. in my opinion and my belief children will bring us fortune if we really wanted to. so just strengthen your will and everything will just be good.

it's just natural for mothers to feel the way you feel. it's just a matter of choice, to stay with your kids at home and give up your career or continue your career and have lesser time for the family. i am a mother of 3 kids, graduated as computer engineering, did work as full time programmer, but when the family became bigger, i decided to just stay home, nevertheless i also work as a part time programmer and as a freelancer. you see, i'm with my kids at home and also working to help my husband to finance the family,moreover i'm practicing my own chosen career.

three months a go I becaom a mom, its the greatest thing in the woman's life, I pry for you and hope that your dream become a reality, I have a little beautyful girl here name is maissa! and i love here so so so mutch

I am also a mother of three beautiful kids 9,5 and 1. I am a single mom without a job, but a full time student. I used to work as a Teacher's Aide for Special Education but then I found out that my oldest has eplilepsy, with that came behavioral issues and a sudden decline in his school grades. at that point I was already on my second child and decided it would be best to be a stay at home mom, in the hopes that it would help my son. I must admitt that it has changed his behavior having me home and my other two love it also.
