WAHM
Working Moms

Working is a challenge for any mother, be it at home or away from home. I chose to be a work at home so I wouldn't miss any of my children's "little kid" moments and to, of course, save money.

There are still a multitude of challenges faced by work at home mothers, though. In my experience, it seems I'm surrounded by other moms who really have no idea that I'm actually working. So, relying on any kind of support system has gone completely out the window. My children also struggle with my choice to work at home, as well, because they don't know of many other moms who do this and can't really grasp what it is I'm doing here.


Do you work outside the home or are you are work at home mother? What lead you to your ultimate decision? Do you feel like you're supported in your decision?

Hi
Hoping to be WAHM for same reason as you so I don't miss any of my daughters special moments. Its hard trying to get time to yourself to concetrate though isn't it?

Hi Sara! Yes, it IS! I try to find other Moms to talk to about this issue, as well as the difficulties I have with staying focused. LOL With so many little ones running around needing this, that, or the other thing . . . I'm exhausted by the time 6pm rolls around!!
