My mother doesnt work.. She is a housewife... I think she is best at home... I dont want her to work elsewhere too... But she saves a lot of money bargaining..My mother is very good at bargaining. Like they penny saved is penny earned.. So she does contributes to the earning in this manner... By saving money she earns money.

My mother has studied languages, and she has been working as secretary for about 20 years. When I was born, my mother had a job, but she decided to become a stay at home mom for a period of time. She had one more child (my brother) and when he was 5 years old, she started working again. She got a job in the company where she used to work, and she is very happy to work there. Now she is 60 years old, but she is not ready to retire yet, as she likes her job a lot.

I feel the need to correct you. Your mother does work, just not outside of the home. All mothers work, whether they receive a paycheck each week or not. If they take care of the home so everyone around them can be comfortable, they are working.

Whether you want to believe it or not, every mother does work. In fact a stay at home mom works harder than any other person on the face of the earth. I have done both, stayed home with my kids and worked outside the home. And I will tell you I worked more at home than I have at many of my full time jobs. The only difference is a stay at home mom does not get money for her duties. However she is sometimes compensated in other ways, like free hugs and kisses and an occasional "thank you". This is well worth much more than the dollar amount she will receive from any paying job. As a stay at home mom I also did what I could to save money, allowing me to contribute to the household. I used coupons and sent out for rebate offers, sometimes receiving as much as $200 in a month.

My mother has been working since beffore i was born. When i was little she used to work til very late, often from 8 am in the morning to 9 pm at night, so i seldom see her in the house. I had a maid to take care of me and my siblings. I used to get upset because i didn't get to spend time with her but soon i got used to it and became close to my maid instead. Now i don't have a maid and my mother works with my father in a self-owned shop. Both of them now come home earlier and my mother do most of the household chores now.

Yes my mother works very hard. She is my idol. She did everything for us. My father doesn't work because he had stroke last year. I want to help my mother earning money, I pity her because she works very hard.

My Mom has worked all of my life. As a matter of fact, she has two jobs, one full-time and one part-time. I got my work habits from her!!

My mom was a stay at home mom until my younger brother got in school. She then started a job as a church secretary and had the same hours as school so she could still be home with us when we were. Now that I'm grown and a SAHM myself my mom still has that same church secretary job. I'm very thankful she stayed home with us and am very thankful I have the opportunity to do the same for my children.
