My husband and I sat down to crunch numbers and for our personal situation, we would save money by me staying home. The problem was, I never wanted to be a SAHM. I figured, having worked so much, that I would go crazy!!! I even tried working part time evenings just to get out of the house. <br /><br />I finally succumbed and now I love it. But having been both, both are equally hard, just in different ways. <br /><br />I hate Mommy War stuff. To all those things we moms fight each other about (and why.. WHY do we do this to each other when we need so much support?), the one truth I have gleamed is that there is no right or wrong answer that can blanket each Mommy. I just hope each Mom gets to do what she wants, and is not forced to do something she doesnt. That there, is the hardest pill to swallow =(SRMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15399040913925026575noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7953195166582698520.post-62156900786585553962010-04-26T17:16:36.103-07:002010-04-26T17:16:36.103-07:00Great post!

But on the other hand, I don't know how we would manage day care. I think every mom struggles with it but finding the balance is key. And I totally agree with having a game plan every day... it's easy to get stuck in lazy day mode when your at home and a plan really helps you keep motivated!Kaseyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00820883410111345623noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7953195166582698520.post-25679985862027757762010-04-26T12:56:56.323-07:002010-04-26T12:56:56.323-07:00I have been a very part timework at home mom...I have been a very part timework at home mom...Debbie's L'Brihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07339800133876611955noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7953195166582698520.post-47127205142381667422010-04-26T12:51:31.916-07:002010-04-26T12:51:31.916-07:00You know over in Europe some of the Scandinavian n...You know over in Europe some of the Scandinavian nations actually do provide stay at home moms with a paycheck. <br /><br />I think it comes out when you adjust rates to 35,000 a year American.Auberon Draenen Wenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12494674744799518500noreply@blogger.com
