A question to working women in general

Money is not everything, if it meant more for me to stay home and make my home stronger as a family then yes but if not then no.

Yep I would definitely do it! Hang out half the day online, cook the other half! It would be like a vacation to me

It's an issue that I have been discussing with my wife. Yes definitely, if my salary was higher and we could pay the mortgage and enjoy a comfortable standard of living, yes she would prefer to stay at home. She would be more relaxed less stressed and can dedicate more time for our son and me.

That's what happened when I got pregnant and I jumped at the chance. I'll never regret it, though some days were really tough and I thought I'd scream if I didn't talk to someone over the age of 3! Best decision I ever made.

Hello there, I knew you said that this one is for working women but I just can't pass this one up my friend. I think I have something to say regarding this topic. I am a stay at home mom, who never experienced working, my husband says it is OK for me to work but I should think and think before deciding if working and leaving the kids to a helper is practical, and if the money I could bring is worth the time that I would be away from ym kids, well my answer is no, I love the kids and I am very attached to them, and for me I think that if you give birth and you plan to have kids, it is your sole responsibility to raise them, the only exception is when your financial status hinders you from doing so. For me and for my hubby as well, what is the purpose of having kids when you can't even have time to be with them?

If he made enough money to pay the bills and give us a comfortable life, I could consider quitting my "day job." However, I would still write and publish and pursue some sort of creative, intellectual, and money making endeavors.

im not married yet. my husband-to-be knows that he will never keep me in the house. he knows that i will still work even at home (home based work or home-based business). i would give up the 9-5 job, stay at home and earn while at home... i would love the idea that he will be the only to support me, but im not used to not doing anything. i'll still work at home! :)

If my partner had said that he was earning enought to keep our family and that I didnt have or need to work anymore then I would have been thrilled ,the only reason that I ever worked was to earn money to help out with the family budget,but it was always a struggle,there was always washing and outstanding housework to do,give me the option to stay home any day.

I am single with a teenage son, and have always worked to provide for us both. His dad never really worked, and doesn't now either. We split up 13 years ago, and I have worked for us both ever since. I have been in relationships since, but nothing would stop me working now. In fact in the last 5 years, I have studied 2 courses to train up to Level 4 in Childcare, changed career into childcare from bar work and worked my way up to Deputy Manager. I am now changing again to assess students that are studying in Childcare, with an aim to train as a lecturer in the next year. I can honestly say I have worked too hard in the last 5 years to ever consider giving it up. Even if I was lucky enough to meet someone who could provide for us both, I would still keep my independence and earn my own wage. It would be lovely though to be in this position, where I would be able to keep my wages for myself and treat myself for once. Up until now, every penny I have been earning has been out on bills, food and groceries etc, with never a penny to spare. The joys (not) of working in childcare, being so poorly paid.
