| I sure know I NEVER will! I love being home with my 2 daughters and would not trade it in for anything. Some might say they miss the adult interactions, but I get that everyday with working from home and that's enough to satisfy me. I love being able to watch them grow and learn new things everyday and change into beautiful little girls! They are my everything. I also love being there for my husband now that I don't work outside the home. Before, we were working different shifts so that we didn't have to pay for daycare or bother family with babysitting. Now, I stay home with the kiddos and the only time we worry about finding someone to watch the girls is when we want to get out and go see a movie or something! I know there are some moms like might want to go back to the corporate world and I was just wondering what you guys thought about if you would or not and why!? |

Hi Crystal: I do agree with you on every point! My husband and I started out not wanting any kids, what with the condition of the world and all. But alas, we now have a lovely 6 month old little girl, and I scarcely remember life without her. Yes, this has been a hard transition for me, I was used to being able to get going and doing whatever I wanted whenever I wanted. I also had a great career and many possibilities. So, I admit, sometimes it is hard. But, gosh, do I love that little munchkin, and I find it far more rewarding to spend my days babbling with her and chuckling at the dumbest things than being a career woman. I love being the "glue" that keeps it all together: my family, my daughter, my husband. Having a warm meal awaiting him when he gets home, attending as much as I can to everyone needs. Being a mom and a wife in every sense is way more difficult than going to work for ten hours a day, but it is a wondrous experience, unlike any other.
Thanks for your posting, it makes me happy that you feel as good as you do about your life! |

| Hi! I have contemplated this a good many times. If I get the chance I will definitely not be going back to work. It is so much more rewarding fixing toys, repairing owies and experiencing firsts than climbing ranks in any company. I love what I am able to do. |

| I know you guys! I love being home with my little ones. Of course though with 2 small children and married at a young age, we can always use some extra money. I think working from home sure beats going outside the home and working. I'm still there with my daughters for their first's, the owies and the toy repairing. I have a 2 year old so there's a lot of those. lol Nowadays, we are so blessed to have so many more options. |

| I also enjoy being a stay at home mom. I don't want to go back to working outside of the home either. I want to be able to watch our son grow and do new things as well as be able to help at his school classroom and do other things with him as well. We are also in a playgroup that meets once a week so we both get to have interactions with other kids and parents. |

| I LOVE being home with my kids. I will be able to see my daughters first steps not someone else or answer my sons weid questions. I dont want to go back to work outside the home I would rather work from home. I know it is harder cause you have the kids needing something just about every time you turn around but that is ok with me. Sabian is in Prek so I will vol. but cant waite till kinder I actually join a pta. I knoe that sounds dorky but being involved in my childs school sounds fun. |

| I miss working,but I have no family in this godforsaken state;so I will never go back to work until Lexi goes to school.I dont trust anyone to watch my child.I saw what best friends can do to your children.I saw what excellent top of the line babysitters can do to your children.I love the fact that everything she learns is because of me and the TV programs that her and I watch together.If she has a bad day and doesnt wanna mind then I know that no one will hurt her for being difficult.If she has any bad habits itll be because of me and her siblings not sumthin that she learned in daycare.I also am glad that I stay home w /her because of the sicknesses that she could contract from others.With her blood disorder and eczema she doesnt need added immune problems. |
