When you have a family, do you prefer to continue your career or stay at home??

friend i am continue my career because if i cannot make carrer then i give all facility to my family ,for the welfare of my family , i am continuing my carrer. bye

for me,no,i will not.i think that the job and the family is the same as the parts of my life,i will not give up one of them.lol...

Of course, I am talking about a number of years ago, since my "baby" is now 31 years old and my oldest is 46. (That makes me feel old) I have five wonderful sons and I finished work when I married. That was the usual thing in those days, but I would have done that anyway. I believe that being a mother is the most responsible job out, and definitely the biggest privilege imaginable. I would not have given up on any of the time of my children's lives. I would have hated to miss out on all their "firsts" and the joys of teaching them the basics of life. I know most mothers work these days, and that is their right. I am not criticising them, but it is something I would not do unless absolutely forced into the situation. If necessary, I would try to earn money from home, where I could also stay with my children.

thats a tough question, a lot of people, here at least, dont make enough to support a family on only one source of income, so its more unheard of to have somone stay home with the family than not, which I think actually causes problems too because then when both parents are working and not raising their kids, I dont think the kids are always raised right, I would say in a family at least one parent should stay home with the kids, but at the same time it seems weird to me because it would be harder I guess, and ya... I dont know

Well I am quite lucky to be able to stay at home and take care of my son while my husband works full time. I was working right up until we moved to the USA in August 2006. When we first had our son, I went back to work after 6 weeks. I had family take care of my him while we both worked full-time. We never really discussed the fact that I should stay home, so it just ended up that I went back to work and was able to take my son with me to work for a couple of months. Only when we arrived in the USA, we thought it would be best that I stay home to take care of my son until he is able to attend school (preschool is way too expensive in our area), so thats what we are doing now. Its tough on us financially but its the best decision we both made for our son. He loves that I stay home with him all the time.

yah i agreed with you, if my husbands salary is enough with us i will just stay home and watch for our kids. the mother will be suited enough to take care of the kids and thats her responsibility. As much as possible i also wanted a career, but i think i will focus my attention to my children and husband.

it is a wonderful experience to be able to stay at home with your children and it does mean some sacrifices, but it was worth it to me. i don't regret doing it by any means. we were poor, but we were happy. now that they are grown up,, i love to hear the things they remember about their childhood, and when they talk about all the things we did together, it makes me feel like it was worth it! its very hard to live on one income this day and age, so anyone who can do it-i highly recommend it. they are only young for such a short time!!

Yes you are right that when we get married that we have to compromise with our husbands, but only to a certain amount I believe, as us woman if we already have a professional job then why should we give this up just because of our husbands I actually gave up work due to our youngest daughter being so sick and she really needed me at home so I handed in my resignation and stayed home with her.

Since I got married, I never have the chance to go out and work again. I've been a housewife for 8 years now. But I never regretted this decision. Having to witness the different growing stages of your children gives you this immeasurable pride. You know perfectly what your children's likes and dislikes. Best of all, you're assured that your children will have nothing but good memories about how we take care of them.
