Is a stay at home mom really a job

hi heaven...staying home with your children is investing in the future. it is one of the toughest jobs. and you don't get paid financially for all that you do and you don't get all the credit you should get. anyone who doesn't consider it important or consider it work doesn't know what they're talking about. they either haven't done it or are blind and unappreciating. money isn't everything. people are more important that money. children whose mother or father take care of them are more secure in life. and who is more qualified to take care of them and see that they are getting the care that they need than you. it is hard to find good trustworthy people to look after your precious ones. they are your treasure.

i am a stay at home mom also and i have 3 small children...i do all the chores in the house and i run around the house doing it because im the only one..now i have so many dirty clothes to wash and i have no enough sleep taking care of my new born baby..now it is saturday and my husband stays out for a drink and comes home late even at the dawn...and sunday im supposed to res but no..i still do the chores coz my husband has a hangover from lastnight's drinking...i get so mad at him that i want them all to get out of the house...he acts this way because he is the one who is earning ...when is earning is not really enough and i still have to depend on my parents for some basic needs like milk for the kids and our food.

Well...if mothers don't do their jobs properly those children will grow up to be welfare bums, and the factories and offices won't have capable responsible citizens to do their work. Your work is just as important as his work. It seems selfish of him to not let you have a little time off. If he feels like he is your "boss" then he is a cruel one. It would be nice even if he would get a babysitter and take you out to dinner to show you that he appreciates what you do. It's not really fair to say "thanks" by handing you more dirty laundry, or sitting there with his mouth open like a little bird expecting you to feed him. It's easier to do your job as a wife and a mother when you feel appreciated and are shown that you are appreciated. If he thinks raising kids is not a job, then let him try to do your job for a few days. He will find out very quickly that motherhood is the toughest job in the world if done right. I wish you well!

my granny use to say a mans job is sun up to sun down and a womand job is never done. i think being a stay at home mom is more then a just a job i mean we stay home take care and teach the kids,clean the house,do outside chores,then when they get home its take care of what they want so we really don't get a break until its time to go to sleep or if we get lucky and the kids anp at the same time but thats by a long shot and you know it really gets to me the men they act like they understand sometimes but then if your tired its why or i worked all day so its like we can never hurt or be tired and that drains so much more out of us striving to be perfect or feel guilty thinking we don't do enough but you know it don't pay enough to put kids in day care and work it'll just give them something else to complain about and they say women are bad...we aren't aloud to get sick or have time to ourself its always do do do.....

Staying at home with children is not only a 24/7 job, it is also the most important job anyone could have. Husbands need to take some of the work off the hands of their wife when they get home from work. When my husband comes home he will take our son outside or to his room and play for like 15 minutes or so. That's not long but it gives me a chance to sit down and just relax. Then while I cook dinner, my husband will keep up with our 2 year old. He also helps give baths and rock to sleep. I think husbands should help out with the children too even if they "bring home the bacon"
