working mom or stay at home?

[Grover]

I returned to work on a part-time basis with flexible hours, a year ago. I find that this way I can get out and socialize with my collegues and have some free time and at the same time give my children the attention they need.

I work the hours when all my 3 children are at school.

you can absolutely teach a an elementary school curriculum in 1 to 2 hours a day
i think it's wonderful that you view school as only a supplement to his education
i am a home education consultant and i posted quite a bit on this topic

i'm a working mom right now. i left my baby when she was only 5 months old and i really miss her that time when we were away from each other..

You only start work recently? I think I am too let go. Not really will think of him when away from home. He is not only 3.5 months   
But once I touch him after carry him back from nanny house, I will reluctant to put him down.

i'm a both. i basically stay at home or take my son with me everywhere. i work as a yoga teacher, so m schedule is set by me and has been very flexible since his birth in august.

i have a sitter who is with me (same building) while i teach so i can nurse him if i need to.

i couldn't NOT work. i love my work and it is good for me to do. but, i also love being with my son basically all the time. it's really wonderful.

right now, i only teach two classes per week and two private lessons. during the classes, i have a sitter for one and my ILs come for the other and watch him. during m private lessons, he comes with and they love it!

so, it works out great for us. i couldn't work 'full time' as i couldnt' stand being away from him for so long, but i can't not work either because i love my career so much!

Lucky you that can bring your baby everywhere I'm a teacher and I have to leave her home with my mom fortunately I work in the morning until 3 pm then I go to work to the university until 7:00 well I am going to do it until I can do it but I want to rid of one of the jobs so I can be with her its hard to do it

[KZmum]

Wow, so good. For me, I have no choice. I will work as per office hrs. The only timing I can with him is early in the morning for about 15 mins before bring him to nany and night time after 7.30pm. However, he needs to sleep about 10pm. So, not much time with him. Only weekend is our gathering day. Thus, I will ask the nanny to show him the flash card. Nevertheless, I feel that I really cant just stay home and take care of him. I like working life but after office hrs must be my personal time

Yoga & swimming is my favourite sport activity. Thats great to know a yoga instructor here. Where are all located?

[zoebird]

i'm in pennsylvania.

and i do feel really lucky to be able to take hawk to work with me. there were places where i worked where they did not want him with me, they wanted me to put him in the day care which we didn't want to do.

so, i only kept those jobs where i could take my baby boy, and it's working out great.

With my first one I worked after my six weeks maternaty leave for about 4 months and only 4 hours a day he would stay with my mother or my grandmother in law. I hated it.Pluse I breastfeed and hadd to break away from work to pump!!!!   Well then hubby joine Air Force and he graduated boot camp day after thanks giving. Working at wal mart that is the biggest sales day of the year well that left me no choice but to quite since I could have the week before and the week after just not that day off. I have been a stay at home mom ever since have two boys now and I love it. yes sometimes I let cleaning and reading and internet get in the way but most days i just read read read and play with them all day. But do what works for your family and what will make you and hubby happiest. I say ask hubby what he wants adn go from there

i am lucky because i run a mom and baby class. my baby comes with me to class. my helper is there as well. he participates in the class and if he is not up to it my helper takes him outside.

its nice knowing that i can be with him and teaching kids with their moms around is also nice. it gets monotonous as work overlaps with home so there really isnt a seperation from the 2 but it suits our life right now and ofcourse  i enjoy it

I stay at home mom .. Running after my 4 kids  and cleaning, cooking, ironing,, etc.. .. I am never paid by it. But  I enjoy playing role as a MOM..

When I got pregnant after a miscarriage, we decided that I should take a leave
to rest and watch my pregnancy carefully.
When our son was born, my husband thought that it is best if I should personally
take care of him.

It is really some kind of work that I never imagined to be
this tough but I enjoyed and loved it.

I think when he reached 6 or 7 I can get back to work. I also miss working...

I stay at home and love it so far

[joan]

I have a flexible part-time job so I can work from home except for meetings. It's hard but it's ideal for me now.

At the moment I am a stay at home mum and I love it. I return to work in May part time which is not so bad. 3 days a week so i will have 4 days with her my mother in law will look after her 1 day a week and day care for 2 days.

I wish I could be with Sophia fulltime until she went to school but unfortunatly the bank needs us to pay the mortgage.
