if you get married, would you prefer to stay at home and take care of your children or continue working..? For me personally, I want to quit my job right now and take care of my little daughter.. however, I have no choice because I am the breadwinner of the family..

Getting married has a lot of responsibilities.
I myself doesn't work,but,i do some part time jobs to help augment the family income,due to this crisis and hard life.
As a mother,i need to manage my time with my kids and my work.
Besides,staying home will just make me feel bored so,i would rather do things to keep me busy while earning too.
Have a nice time always...and,since i cannot post comment in your picture,i would like to say that,your place looks familiar dear...are you from Baguio City?..

If I had a choice I would stay home and take care of my son. I have been working for 5 straight years and is still going. Have no choice also since I earn more than my husband but it isn't an issue with us. But I would much prefer to stay home and do online work instead of going to the office everyday.

..hi.. I envy both of you.. I really wish I could do that too.. however, right now, I am earning more than my husband so we decided that we exchange responsibilities.. he takes care of our baby and I work.. We don't like to get someone to look for our baby since she's so young and we don't want bad influence from other people.. we want to raise our baby though our own way of disciplining.. We decided this because more often than not, baby sitters nowadays in our place are not so good.. they don't really take care of the baby.. that was the experience of my relatives.. we don't want to risk our baby..

well here in Quebec Canada, we are allowed to have 1 year to spend with the born baby and will be paid. I would like to stay at home and have a good relationship with my children. But this means that i will have to sacrifice the good salary I will have. I don't have children yet 
But when I do, I must find a balance between the job and family. I will ask my mom to babysit if I can't be there.

hi rayne,
i am a career woman and when i got married i still work. I always love to stay home and take care of my kids and husband. But the call is for me to also work to help my husband augment the family's income. In due time i know i will be able to make my wish come true of being a domesticated wife and mom. just the mere thought of it makes me so excited.

..indeed we have different views on this.. I find it enjoyable spending time with my kid.. But I also wanted to continue working when she starts to go to school.. I don't want to stay home also in this case..

I would not want to work outside the home. I would rather stay home and take care of the house and family. It is so hard now not to work outside the house though. My daughter is and I am still home caring for her while making bags on the side.
