Do you think it's easier for a woman...

Hello once again. First of all, I don't think that the job of a stay-at-home mom is ever easy. It takes a lot of perseverance and patience to be a stay-at-home mom. This is actually an admirable occupation. Yes, it is easier for a home-based woman to be a stay-at-home mom because she wasnt used to working outside and nothing would change much. The adjustment to motherhood is another thing because the experiences of a mother are all new and has to be experienced first hand. Although it is easier to be a mom if youre just at home because you dont have much to attend to as compared to a working mom.

That's a good question. i really don't know. I have a friend who never really worked, she moved from her father's house, to her husband's house, and got pregnant and then stayed home. I do think it is difficult for her to understand where her husband is coming from when he says he had a hard day at work. I know she does struggle with understanding why he's so tired, or is unable to help out as much as she would like, and she isn't very motivated to do things around her house.. which may be because she's never had to work, so she's sort of lazy. (I know that sounds mean, but she says it herself..) She just doesn't know how to make herself do things she doesn't want to, so they simply don't get done. I have been working since I was 5 years old, my parents were poor and we had our own business, so us kids were free labor. I moved out of my house, 1,000 miles away from home 3 days after i turned 18, put myself through school and then got married a couple years later. I stay home with our two boys and I love it. Initially it was really hard on me, staying home.. I found myself cleaning the house over and over again, all day long, because I didn't feel like watching the baby was enough.. I didn't feel like I was contributing.. But eventually, my dear husband, talked me down a bit. (: One thing that really helped me was he told me.. that i wasn't staying home to clean the house, or do the dishes, but to take care of our son. Had I stayed at work, we'd be paying for day care.. and the housework would still be undone.. I was just supposed to be taking care of the baby, and if the other stuff could get done, great, if not.. it's not a big deal.. So, I eventually learned how to slow down. my friend has gotten better at cleaning, and watching her children, although I think she has a ways to go, and I've slowed down quite a bit and am much happier. I don't think either position is actually easier.. just different.

I have been working for 20 years before I call it quits but not to be a full time housewife. I ventured into catering business and over seeing my children at home. Ofcourse I had a live in maid to help out. It is advisable to be a stay at home mom while doing home based business.

It may be but I don't think it should really matter. I have had plenty of jobs in my life, and I stay home now by choice. My husband and I are both happier with me at home because he is not interested in careing for the house and I can only manage it alone if I do not have to work. I love being home and mothering my animals. I don't have any human babies yet and do not know if I ever will, but I love being home and taking care of what I do have.

I took 3 months off from work when I had my daughter, and I thought I was going to go nuts. Now that I'm working again I feel so much happier. I still stay with her all day and we have alone time, then I go to work at 8pm and her daddy gets his alone time with her before she goes to bed at about 10pm. I work until 2am, so when she wakes up early in the morning he still takes care of her. It all works out great, we all have our time together, but I also get out of the house and interact with other people at work.

Being a stay at home mom or dad is hard work do not let any one tell you that its not. but it is worth it to see your kids grow every day.
