Would you quit your job to be a full time wife and mother?

I feel the same. Actually I think of it now and then. Sometimes I really feel stressed at work. I like to spend more time with my child. I don't mind to be a housewife because it means I will have more time for my family and I can have more time for myself. But I don't want to quit it easily because at least two incomes are good for a family. I hope we can have more money and then in the future everything shall be easier. It is not fair for my husband to work by himself and afford to our family. I love China

That is what I did twice in my life. I had my first three children in my early twenties and then went back to work when they were all settled at school. When at almost 40 I became pregnant again I gave up all over again! I know things are very tight financially these days but I think that both myself and the children all gained something from me being able to stay at home with them.

This would have to depend on how i felt about my job. Career and family can be hard to juggle. I have always valued family. i think I would be more than willing to to be a full time wife and mother. It would bring great joy to my life.

I would actually do, because I don't really like the idea of having nanny or babysitter. I dunno why but I just feel like it is my all responsibility to look after and watch over my kids everyday and not anyone else. But as everyone else says, I will want to something in between as well. So I will do online tasks such us mylotting and other sites where I can make money. My idea as well is I will sell things through ebay, and maybe also do blogging. I don't have much ideas. Happy mylotting and have a nice day.

It depends, if my husbands has a good job and can afford all the expenses at home and if thats the only choice i have to take good care of them, then why not? That would be a great decision.. You've got mylot for your part time job though...hehe

My future husband and I have talked about this already. He asked me the same thing and I told him that I would not think twice quitting my job so I can be a full time house wife. He was happy with my answer. I guess I'm just lucky. But I really do prefer to stay at home so that I can personally take care of my family. And if I have to work, I would like to be able to work at home too. I don't think I'd be able to entrust the well being of my future kids to nannies.

If I could afford it financially, I would like to try it. I am not sure it would be for me, but it would be interesting to try it at least...

If financial stability and resources would be sufficient, I would quit my full time job now, without batting an eyelash. Seeing and spending time with you child/children just a few hours when you get home and right before their bedtime, is not enough quality time for me. Thus, I'm currently exploring on how to ease may way into the work-at-home set-up. I think this is a breakthrough and much need set-up for most working moms. Technology is now changing the landscape of the workplace. Let's use it to our advantage.

It depends upon the existing situation. If one day I settled down and my husband told me to stop woking and be his full time wife and a full time mother of his children maybe I'd try to think or analyse it first before doing any necessary decision and action.If my husband can provide everything in the family- food, shelter, clothing and the best education for kids then I would give up my job because we are financially secured. Many women said that being a wife and a mother is a self fulfillment, a dream of any woman. You would give your best shot to rear your child to be the best person he maybe. You would guide them in every journey they may have. And its kind of fullfilling that you see your children growing and seeing them reaching a step by step milestones in their lives. But of course life is not always a bed of roses for us. Sometimes we women don't have any choice but to continue working in order to provide the things our family needs because the salary our husbands are receiving is not that sufficient enough to raise a family specially now we are experiencing financially global crisis.
