Are you happy with your decision? Have you always wanted to be that since you were young? Can you share your experiences being a housewife and or a career woman?

I am both. Was totally a stay at home mom for 12 years and that was entirely fine and dandy. The kids and I had fun, I could garden all I wanted and there were always enough books. I do both now since I also work part time nights. Career is not a single job anymore since so many of us have at least 7 jobs in our working career. I have had a few more since I quickly outgrew the experience in many of them, or moved thereby needing to get a new job. When you keep a balance in your life and work because you enjoy it and the money is good. Then have a good life at home the best you can then you have the best of both worlds.

Yup, still working. happy coz i love what i do. happy coz the pay is high. my hubby backs me up on this. i think different woman have different views on life. some people are happy taking care of their family, some are happy having a part of both worlds. :)

I am fairly happy with my decision. I used to work outside of the home but got drove insane with nosey co-workers. I wanted to go to college when I was younger but my parents said they didn't have the money for that. I now get to stay home and try to earn online which is nice. There is no place like home. My husband also supports me to stay home and earn and be able to keep things done around the home. He loves to come home and we can spend time together because most of the daily chores are already done.
