When money’s tight, work-at-home opportunities can sound like just the thing to make ends meet. Some even promise a refund if you don’t succeed. But the reality is many of these jobs are scams. The con artists peddling them may get you to pay for starter kits or certifications that are useless, and may even charge your credit card without permission.’

I love being a SAHM and now that my big kids are older I have help around the house and with the little ones. It’s much easier than it was when I had two, was working and taking them to school.

I have spent an equal amount of my 6 years as a parent doing both, and even though I really enjoy working and I prefer it to being a sahm most days, it comes with a lot more stress and mommy guilt than staying home ever did.

The grass is always greener right? Your right though…we all work hard!

I’m sure both ways are a struggle…I can’t imagine the difficulty of leaving babies to go to work and then come home to all of the responsiblities..but it is true that the whole day fills up, and mini-oopses happen all day long (bag of sugar all over the floor) etc. I think its taking one day at a time, counting our blessings and being grateful for everything each day. Starting over tomorrow.

Very true. I’m planning to work part time so I’ll be juggling both ways;)

I think it is funny that part of each mom wishes she did the other. I know I am a stay at home mom and though I love my kids and being able to be with them, I do miss having adult time or being able to go to the bathroom by myself. My kids aren’t in school so I am constantly trying to keep them active while maintaining the house.

I know that being a SAHM is the hardest but most rewarding job ever. I stayed with my preemie twins for 6 months after their premature birth @29 weeks. I had to eventually go back due to medical bills. Sometimes I wonder if they even know I’m their mother so sad. I would stay at home in a second!

I am a stay-at-home mom and a part-time student finishing my bachelor’s degree. I’ve had to learn to manage my time well and not to assume that there will be time for something later. There is no getting homework done if the kids are awake, even if I plop them in front of a TV show, so if I have some time I have to take advantage of it. Normally I arrange my schedule so that I have class in the morning and I come home in the afternoons so that I can do homework during the kids’ naps, but this semester my classes were only offered in the afternoon, so I feel like I am running around all day! I am an introvert, and one of the things I have found about myself is that I need quiet time, alone and at home, or I get mentally and physically exhausted. I can’t imagine working eight hours a day somewhere and then adding the rush of getting kids to daycare/school and then back home. It would be pretty rough on me.

While I am sure being a stay-at-home mom has it’s challenges, I am SO jealous!
