What is your opinion about stay at home mom's? I was a stay at home mom while my children were very young. My opinion is that every mom should be there and enjoy the pleasures! I would not have changed a thing! My kids were great! I loved every minute of it and when I look back now, it was some of our best times of our lives. I didn't have to get them all dressed up everyday till they started school.The school years were a different story. While they were little we had so much fun. We could play for hours till nap time and then I would have lots of time to do all the other things I needed to do like clean and cook dinner,and laundry could always wait till daddy was able to watch them. I believe we knew our children best at this age. They were at a age where they were so dependent on us, and I never was ready to just hand them over to a babysitter. These little people were mine and I loved them very much and couldn't bear the thought of someone else teaching them or correcting them. I realize that in todays times, it is not all that easy for mom's to stay home but, if you get that rare chance to then go for it. I think you will like it very much as I did.~joyfulpraise~ ps. when I lost my Pamela at 29 I knew then that I was glad I had her in my life more when she was little. And just for fun I will tell you, she followed me everywhere I went and did everything I did.

I've done it both ways. With my oldest daughter I was a working mother until she was almost four years old and with my youngest son I've been a stay at home mother since the day that he was born. I think that it is a lot more rewarding to be a stay-at-home mother than to be a working mother. We not only have the opportunity to know our children in a way that we would never be able to know them if we were working mothers, we also have the opportunity to learn more about sacrifice in our lives as well.

Well its the same feeling, as working mom misses all the love for their kids. And a home mom is lucky to takecare of their kids.
