I am so glad to be a full time mother

I share your enthusiasm. I have been a full-time mother for 14 years. My daughters are now 9 and 14 and I never really regretted that my career took a backseat. This is the role that I enjoyed best, being a mother to them. I have many fond memories of them growing up, their first step, first word and I will never exchange those experiences with anything. They are all priceless. My sister told me that spending time with children is an emotional investment and I understand now. Just a hug and kisses from them made my tiredness banish away. I am enjoying them while they are still young because I know that they will not be forever in my side. As for now, I am taking a part time job as a teacher. I chose to teach part-time so that I still have more time for them. Being a mother made me a better person. It made me more mature, patient, and happier. Motherhood is really a blessing!

I envy you. I wish could spend as much time with my daughter. Every evening when I get home I am too tired to do anything with her. I find myself asking the nanny about everythingin my baby's life. e.g Does she still not eat all her food? Is she still naughty? I would do anything to live your kind of life with my baby, but I have to put food on the table.

Of course it is very nice that you can take care of your child and be a full time mom. Since it is beneficial for your child's growth. Especially this good relationship is built when your child is little. Nobody can do a better job than you. I love China

Wow, that is great! That is what I also dream of, to become a full time mother and wife. It is not easy but surely you will enjoy every second of it. I am working mom right now and it's not easy to manage the time. I can't resign from my work yet because we are paying our house but I am doing and researching ways to earn money just by staying at home. Before all of these, I am into blogging already and now I am into online selling. I am just starting so who knows I might be one of the successful mompreneurs who are stay at home mom too. Mommy, I am proud of you and just keep it up.

Hi kaka,i am happy to hear that you are glad to be a full time mother,i also enjoy spending the time with my son ,but i don't want to quit my job,because i like my job very much,on the other hand is to make more money,because the cost of living is too big,actually speaking,our barbecue shop has been operating for more than one year,but there is still no profit to earn,that's why i must go to work,i envy you kaka,i hope that you will keep happy with your family all the time.

I highly appreciate the decision you take as a housewife. Generally rarely encountered something like this. Keep going your struggle mom. Pray of you! Best Regards soelistio

I was forced into full-time motherhood due to illness right after the birth of my second child. That was 16 years ago. I do not regret for one minute having to stay home. I hate that we have been struggling financially all this time because I haven't been able to contribute financially, but I know my children are a lot better off for having me at home. I remember the days when they came home from school and were both fighting for my attention to tell me how their day was. I have seen too many children who come home to an empty house at the end of the school day and in my opinion they could be better kids if they had a parent at home when they came home. I feel the same way about broken homes. I have seen what that does to children. My daughter had a friend who was shipped back and forth between mother and father and probably wasn't listened to much. She turned her attention to my daughter, bossing her around, insisting she be her only friend, etc. My daughter would come home from school crying and I had to explain to her what probably motivated that girl. My daughters are (almost) 16 and 19. They are very talented, have great marks and good morals. They have their heads on their shoulders and have no trouble talking to me about anything. Honestly, they've both had boy trouble and we've talked openly about it. I am so happy that they are open with me, that they feel comfortable talking to me, and that they want me around. I have even been called a cool mom. Everything hasn't been rosy. Because of my illness there were many days when they were young when I fell asleep in the afternoons and they got into a little trouble. But we look back at it now and laugh about it. Baby powder, laundry detergent, lipstick, Vaseline and even a small fire were all part of their very young childhoods, but they survived and we have some great memories. Because my husband works shift work and a lot of times chooses golfing over his kids' sporting events, he is a little out of the loop with the girls. In fact, my younger daughter says he is "oblivious". It is unfortunate. I have treasured the years I have spent with my girls and dread when they leave home for good. My oldest went to college this past year but she was home every weekend. I would have missed her like crazy if she didn't. Motherhood is the best job in the world. Enjoy every minute of it. Every. Single. Minute. They are what my father called "special treasures".

I'm very happy for you! There is nothing as fulfilling as raising a child and watching them grow. It's such a thrill when you see it in their eyes that they've made the connection between a problem and a solution--such as how to build a tower of blocks without it falling over. From these little things will come a brilliant intellect and fascinating personality that you help shape and grow. There is nothing more satisfying or important than raising a child full time, in my opinion.

You are lucky to be content with being a stay at home Mom. The best day of my children's life was the day I went outside the home to work. My compulsive personality drove everyone wild, including me. But I always was able to find work close to home, Hubby worked at least one hour away. Blessings

Maybe if I was blessed with all the means, I would also choose to participate in all of the activities of my kids. I too would like to be there when anything significant happens in their lives. But alas! I have to work so I could provide for them. Goodluck to you!

Hi kaka135, my son is 6 years old now and studying 2nd class, while reading his books i also learn some of the things which really worth to know, i don't know what i learned when i was at that age, but now learning while making him to read. I feel all that are very useful to know whatever the age may be. Happy to know that you are a full time mother to your child, indeed all woman should be like that, but i think some are working may not spend with their children. Being with the children will be very fun. Have a nice day.

Oh that's really good that you like being a full time mom now. I wish i could really be a full time mom too but i don't know how to anymore. I have been too dependent on my nanny I don't know how to take care of my son anymore.

It shows in your post mt friend that you are indeed enjoying your being a full time mother . Having a baby can indeed be enjoyable. Just taking care of the baby, seeing him/her sleep is enough to make you so happy an fulfilled. What is nicer my friend, is that you also have your job as a frelance programmer while being a full time mother. Keep it up my friend.

Feel good to read your discussion, someone who glad to be a full time mother, and enjoy also learning to be a better mother better person. Congratulation.

Congratulations on being home with your baby. It is so nice to watch them grow up and not miss the little or big things.

Hello my friend kaka135 Ji, I really thank you from bottom of my heart and bless you as a old Lady of 67 yrs. After my marriage, when my job was to be stopped by my In-Law's side I felt it bad, but after so many yrs, I really realize, what wa sdone , was good for me.Dear, parenting is very difficult exercise these days. Children always utter 'NO'. wE have to convert it to 'YES' As you go ahead, as your sonis coming up, you will enjoy more and would never take help to entertain yourself. Keep enjoying parenthood. May God bless You and have a great

Wow! I'm so happy for you, I know a lot of mothers would want a life like yours, me included. I work full time, my son is with my mother or my husband at home, since he hasn't got a job yet. Someday I'll quit my job to be with my son at home and see him learn new things with me. I miss him so much everyday that I'm willing to quit my job someday if ever my husband finds a job and I'll take a home-based job recommended to me by a friend. I'm happy for you.Cheers!

Nice to see that you are enjoying the time with your son there.My brothers wife delivered her baby girl just four months back.Now,she says is bored of sitting in the house all day.She indeed is fully occupied taking care of the baby.But she wants to be back on her job to keep herself occupied.Did you feel such things when you left your job and become a full time mother?.Which one do you suggest for the benefit of he child-a working mother leaving her child in the nursery or a full time mother to see and witness all the activities of the child.

It's really happy to hear that In fact, I respect full time mother, more than mother who busy with her jobs and give her kids to baby sitter.. IMHO, being a full time mother is much more honorable than every jobs that woman can do. They grow up children - they develop the future..

That is great! I am a new mom and trying to be one. It is how I wanted to be. Sadly I could not just sit beside him all the time. I need to earn money for us. My husband works but it isn't enough. I hope I could be like you.
