I am a stay at home mom with 4 kids,considering working out. Opinions please?

I am a mother of 3 kids, I can say that it's nice to be a full time mom. But yes, I agree, staying at home can be stressful because of the routinary things that needs to be done everyday. My sister suggests that even if I am at home taking care and watching over the kids, I need to take care of myself too. A "me" time for even just a few hours once a week won't hurt. That is necessary so you won't get burned out. You can go out to see your friends, or go for a massage. A good time management also helps in organizing everything. You need to write down the things that you need to do so you won't get panicky. Idle times will come when you need to check facebook, or emails. A to-do list will keep reminding you of the things that you need to get done. My kids are aged 8, 3, and 2. I was thinking of working too, but I thought it would be better when all of the kids are on their school age already. I can work while they are in school.

it's nice to be at home taking care of the kids on your own but given that theyre well provided with their needs -- milk, food, toys, diapers and what not. but most parents rather work in order to give them enough. some are never a housewife material too.. it's really up to you though.

Well i have two kids and is a working mom. But i do have two nannies for each of them since one is 7 and the other is 3. Some mom tho really just wanna be a stay at home mom to take care of the kids. It is really tiring tho to clean the house and to be a hands on mom at the same time but the time you had with them is priceless. That is what i dont have with the kids. Time.. And so i spend most of my time on weekends with them. If i have another source of income that can provide us if im not gonna work. Ill choose to be just at home. It doesnt mean that you are lazy, nah i doubt that you are. Maybe all you need is a break.. We need that sometimes. Do try working if its what you like and then you can compare it from there. Both has ita perks. Good luck.

How old are you kids? All in school? It's OK to work outside the home. If you don't have to then don't. When I say don't have to, I'm not just talking about “financial”. Some people have a need to be out among people socializing and having some kind of interaction with other adults. It's not about finance. It's about their psyche. I've always worked outside the home. Fortunately, my husband worked inside the home. So there were no worries when I left for work because our children were in good hands. Nothing is more precious than your children. So if you decide to work outside the home, don't sacrifice them in the process. Lots of women stay at home. Lots of women work. All women … most women … most mothers … don't make a decision unless they have some assurance that their children will be cared for properly.

I only have one son and i go to college and my fiance works nights so we can care for our son. how old are all your kids?
