Hi Amber. I by no means think that your time in the work place is spent lounging with a daiquiri or catching up on sleep but it is time where somebody else is caring for your kids but you’re not changing diapers, or fixing them something to eat, or bathing them, or kissing boo-boos, or putting them in time-out, or calming a tantrum or putting them down for a nap during that time, but somebody else is…it is essentially a “break” from those responsibilities.

And I completely agree with you on your other point in this comment that women need to stop comparing and start supporting each other. Motherhood and parenting as a whole, is tough stuff. That’s exactly what I was trying to convey in my post!

Good job, fellow Mama, for doing what is best for your family.

Thanks for the comment. 🙂

The same argument could be made by moms who work out of the home, these shoes, albeit gorgeous, hurt so bad I wish I could wear my flip flops all day, I would much rather be spending time with my crazy child than finishing these financial reports, etc. I believe the issue is that we, as women, do not support each other because we cannot put the “who’s job is harder” argument to bed. I also think it has to do with the guilt we (working mothers) struggle with about making a choice between career and child rearing, there’s always a pang of jealousy when I think about my sahm friends. I think about all the things I’ve missed and will miss that they will never have to mourn. Bottom line is that it’s hard for ALL mothers and we have to stop making it a competition between who does or gives up more. We should be supporting each other for doing the what makes the most sense for our families!

It’s a beautiful decision you made for your family and it commands respect! Great job for the sacrifices you and your husband make for your kiddos. 🙂

We sacrifice a lot in our family but we said when we first go married that I would be a SAHM. There is many times I feel like life might be easier if I worked to help bring in more money but right now raising my children the way I want them raised and taught what I want them taught is more important. We only have them for so long and then they will be gone. I’ll have plenty of time to work after they grow up. I’m really only in this for 16 more years, if you think about it it’s not that long! Everyone has there own callings in life and mine is to be a SAHM. I’ve known that since high school!
