I grew up with a mom who stayed home, and I've always hoped there will be a time when I can do that. As it is I work from home but I think it's amazing wonderful thing to stay home with your kids. Just my 2 cents... I think that’s AWESOME! I grew up with a mom who stayed home, and I’ve always hoped there will be a time when I can do that.

You should be proud of what you do,day in and day out. It is a lot of work!!! As for working mothers....I think every woman has needs and as for myself my need is to not be a mother <br/>24-7. I need to get out of the house and be an individual person. That is my time to be called by my real name and not 'mom'. I enjoy my time away and the profession I chose to pursue. I feel when I come home I am rejuvinated and am ready to start again. I need that!! But.....there is a flip side to everything. My children are sad as I get ready to go to work. I call them at night and kiss them over the phone before they go to bed. When I get home my house has been turned upside down and there is no sense of structure as there was when I left it. Then, as I am driving my children to the babysitters, about 75% of the time, are whining begging me to let them stay home with me. Talk about break my heart in a million little pieces! Guilt builds until I can barely stand it. Those are just a few of the issues I deal with because I chose to be a working mother. And I am sure I have missed 'priceless moments' that can never be redone. But I swallow it and do what I have to so I am happy. Plus as you know 'if mom's not happy, nobody's happy'. I think you should be happy with your decision to stay home and enjoy it! If someone is to judge you, that is their problem not yours...you are doing what you love most. But then again, if it upsets you that people judge your decision to stay home, maybe you aren't doing what is best for you and need to reevaluate your situation. No one knows you more that yourself! Think about it!!<br/>Me I think you are a wonderful mother! You should be proud of what you do,day in and day out. It is a lot of work!!!

I am in the same boat with ya! You know, I have never faulted other moms for choosing to work (judged their parenting skills maybe but not for working) but it seems that, for me anyways, that all of the working moms I know fault me for staying home! Especially all of the female in-laws I have who just happen to be working moms!! They keep telling me that if I go back to work it would be better for me! I get really upset and defensive because I thought that I was the one that knew what was best for me AND my daughter! Sometimes, yes, I would like a break! Who doesn't ever want a break from whatever life that they chose to live?? If that makes any sense! I CHOSE to stay home instead of going back to work and I KNOW it was the right decision, so why should I let what they say bother me? Thank you for writing this Cuz! It's nice to know that I'm not the only one with these feelings! By the way- YOU'RE A GREAT MOM!!! the moosh. is the proof! SAHM POWER!! I am in the same boat with ya!
