Don't forget that a SAHM gets very little sleep. I am only focusing on Notary work now since my 5 1/2 month old daughter was born (I'm a Registered Nurse and find PT notary work and staying home with my baby very rewarding right now). I also have 2 other children. Last night I got exactly 3 1/2 hours of sleep and my 6yo daughter is home today too, since she only goes to school 3 days a week. If a mom gets a nap it's pure luxury. Don't forget it's not just about housework, the kids need play, meals and attention and make constant messes, they always want you to get things, do things, find things, etc. the baby poops up her back and needs a changing and a bath (already done today........second outfit since she spit up all over the other one....). But hey, I got to eat breakfast at 12:00! My son will come home and let's hope the baby isn't into a really great nap by the time I have to take him to baseball practice at 4. OK flame away if you must  I've had experience being a working mother and a SAHM and for me it's actually easier for me to work, but best for my kids to stay home right now. |
