Which do you prefer?
I am a working mom, since we are not that rich kind of family, we have to work hard as we could for us to manage or family. But, sometimes, I miss being at home with my daughter. I wish I could be at home always taking care of her, and do all the things in our house. But nowadays, it's much difficult to be that. Especially when you have all the bills to pay, and you have to help with the needs of your family.
Sometimes, I think of being a housewife, but sometimes I also need to be a working mom..
How about you, would you want to be a working mom, or a housewife?

Right now, I am home with the kids. I watch kids out of our home, and stay home with my daughter. So, Im a working mom and stay at home mom both at the same time. But, I have been a working mom outside the home, and I liked being able to get out of the house for a few hours everyday.

I like working outside of the home. It gives me a chance to get away and recharge my batteries.

It would be lovely to be a stay-at-home mom if we were wealthy! To be able to afford a maid while I played with my son seems like a dream come true. If I had to clean, cook AND babysit everyday...I just don't know if I could do it. I think my parenting abilities would suffer. Being a working mother allows me to be successful in my own right, and be able to come home and get that big hug from my kiddo. THAT means the world to me!

I'm torn with being a house wife and a working mom. I've always been a working mom. House wife sounds good basically because I'm tired of working!
At the sametime, I know I would miss the adult interaction if I were a house wife.
Feelings are mixed but if I could find a lucrative work from home job, I think I would go with that!
