I prefer staying at home and taking care of the house hold chores like and cleaning and taking care of the kids. I really don't know how working women are able to manage time. Before marriage there is lot of time to work but after marriage things become different. We have to take care of a lot of things and so the extra time and energy seems necessary. But everyone may not be gifted to stay at home an njoy. Many may not like staying at home and doing the usual chores. Some women need challenge and financial independence. Hence they go for work. Your thoughts on this ...

Hi I am a stay at home mom also. I tried doing real estate but was to stressed feeling that I wasn't doing anything to the best of my potential. I have since stopped and everyone in my family seems happier. I am not stressed therfore they are not stressed. I think the moms that do both have help and if they don't the are always on edge. I have friends that do both and they always seem unhappy with life. I think this is sad. They also expect more out of the kids to help with the house. I am not saying that is a bad thing my daughter helps me but I don't yell at her if she doesn't. I know staying at home drives some women crazy, we that do this are diffenately special. I feel that the extra stress is just not worth it. I too am thinking about working from home to earn a little extra and have something to do during the day when my daughter is at school.

Hi, Thanks for sharing your experiance. It is a valuable information. Even though I had an idea to go out and work after my family commitment/responsibility is over, now I have made up my mind not to go out for work. I really understand the stress that we need to handle at home and at office. Hence, I am interested in family building than in shaping my professional career. When I put legs on both sides, I am sure I would stumble. Thanks for sharing your experiance and helping me making my mind to build a strong relationship and family which is the best and foremost. Cheers for a Happy mom and a happy family. Happy myLotting. Have a great day.

For women to work outside the home, there must be somebody to help at home. It could be parents, in-laws or even a maid. Otherwise things will get tough. My mother has always worked and managed home. But not having enough rest has many ill-effects on health other than house being not in order. It is a tough choice. Either career or home will suffer a setback for sure. One cannot sail in 2 boats at the same time.

I agree. Some woman love going to work outside the home and others love staying home. I don't know how those who work outside of the house can keep things in the house under control. I would have laundry piled up, dirty windows and eat out an awful lot.
I stay home and work out of the house. This allows me to keep my house in order while still working. There are times I think it would be great to get out of the house and work somewhere else.
