I'm not a supermom... but I do work 2 jobs, one full & one part time, I also take care of an 8 year old & a 17 year old and my almost 34 year old boyfriend who lives with me.  I do 90% of the cleaning, 90% of the cooking & 100% of the laundry.  I also babysit my 4 month old grandson on saturday mornings while my daughter works (I have 3 kids total, one who's no longer living at home).  I pay all of the bills (BF pays me rent each month) drive everyone to any appointments needed, & also take care of our doggy & two cats.  Basically, anything thats needed to be done gets done by me - although, my BF does mow the lawn in the summer.\n\nAgain - I am don't consider myself a supermom, this is just my everyday life...   I am happy, don't want it changed.

I unfortunately am a nanny and I think I remember quitting but it's for family and they are supposed 2 find a daycare.\nI really think they are lying when they say they have the 3 kids ages 7m 2yrs and 3 yrs on a waiting list.only the oldest is not in diapers.And the kids are kind of mentally slow and the parents are in denial, not autistic just pretty far behind.\nI have a 3yr old sister and she can sing full songs while their 3yrolds songs consist of the same word over and over again eg:moon moon moon moon or door door door door.\nIt's driving me crazy.I have them 4 days a week from 8:00 in the morning until 6:30 at night and they eat all 3 meals at my house.When we got them they were really and I mean REALLY bad they didn't listen they were horrible.Now they are better but they still have their days.Oh yeah and the parents complain about paying me!!!!! I only get 5 dollars an hour for 3 kids all aged 3 or under while all together that does add up 2 a lot of money it's still not enough in my opinion.I know it's not the worst job in the world but thanks for letting me vent.\nI love kids but I can't wait until they are in daycare.

You can never say, unless you know the mothers involved.\n\nSay the Working Mom is lazy.  Goes to work, yes.  Comes home, does not cook or clean for her child.  The child gets what it wants just so the mother can have peace and quiet.  It stays up late and falls to sleep whenever.  She constantly forgets to wake him up for the bus and has to take him to school, come home, rush to get ready for work and looks a slob all day.  Their values are self first in everything, get what you want, others don't matter.\n\nSay the Working Mom is industrious and clean.  Cooks dinner every nite and makes sure Timmy does his homework, takes his bath and goes to bed on time and behaves.  She gets him up in time for school, gets herself ready for work and is never late, looking great.  Values would be, think of others, be responsible (be on time, think of others, dress nice for them, don't rush, start early), your actions count, put your best foot forward, etc.\n\n\nSo, just because 2 working moms (are working) doesn't mean negative things can't be attached to one.  The same thing is true with the Stay-at-home Mom, she can either do a good job as a wife and mother or NOT!

I am not, I have a 4 year old son and another on the way.  I work both for financial reasons, as well as for personal preference.  I love my job.  AND I love my children.  I don't think that having him in school during the day is having someone else raise him.  I am with him every night after 5 and every morning.  We cook supper together, we play games, we learn, we cuddle, we have a great relationship.  On top of that, even though he is now an only child, he knows how to share his toys, interact with other kids, and because of his excellent school, is HIGHLY more developed than most children his age.\n\nI do not, however, see a single thing wrong with being a stay at home mom.  My sister in law is, and I can attest that she works much harder at home all day than I do managing my office!  I hand it to all of you ladies who choose to do this.\n\nI think that the thing that we have to remember is that is it a personal choice.  Going to work does not make me a bad mother, staying at home does not make her lazy.  It is what we have both chosen for our families and both of our families and our children most importantly, are very happy with our choices.  \n\nOur sisters and mothers did not work so hard in the women's movements of the 70s and 80s for us to stand here today and say that our way is the only way.  They worked so hard to give us a CHIOCE!

I have had to go out of town for a few days leaving the kids with my husband.  He thought he could do it just fine.  When I came home he just hugged me and said "how in the hell do you do it??"  I just laughed at him.  he never took my job for granted again.  Now when he gets home he cooks and lets me sit and relax because he knows I am exhausted.\n\nSo to answer your question, I say go out of town for a few days and see what he says when you get home.  This is something that they cant understand till they are in your shoes.

I do! I'm the Mom, and I have to get up and fix breakfast, feed the cats and the dog, put medicine on the cat (that almost was killed by a stray dog that we had to pay $500.oo at the vet to save), Do the dishes, make the beds, clean the kitchen, living room, bedroom, bathroom, pick up everyone else's laundry and wash the clothes, clean up the yard, walk the dog, (NAPTIME's coming!), meet my grandson after school,help him with homework and spelling,  find various things throughout the long day for people who don't know where anything is around here, THINK for other people, who don't always know how to think for themselves, find invoices and work orders for our body shop, answer phones, go to the grocery store, and make supper. Clean up afterwards, or leave it all to get up and start over doing the next day. SIGH.....No wonder I'm on HERE INSTEAD! LOL

Now i know iam not a man but, I think if a woman and man both work i think then the house duties should be shared and the duties concerning the kids should be shared as well.BUT if the woman is a stay at home mom she should keep the house and the kids together the house should be clean,and food should be cooked when you get home the kids should be clean and together.Now she should be respected for this because this is a job.she is teaching and guiding your legacy (your kids) which is the hardest job ever.So to answer your question it is very important.

it all depends on your financial situation.  YOu definitely have a job taking care of three children, YOu could always make a little money babysitting while your children are in school but just because you dont have a "paying job" doesn't mean your job is any less important than your husbands.  If you weren't home to take care of the kids, clean house, cook, then your husband wouldn't be able to work.

its not wrong to be a stay-at-home housewife with domestic helpers if you can afford it and still be comfortable. i used to clean houses for a living and i had 1 that was that way, she had me come in on fridays to do the heavy cleaning, bathrooms, dusting, vacuuming, mopping and sweeping. she would wash the dishes and do her own laundry. i just did the every week cleaning.

My family is the perfect family.  We all have our setbacks (some still living at home, divorce, children out of wedlock, some out of work for a while, arguements with husbands/ wives, etc.) BUT- We all are close (including children's children) and we love each otherSO MUCH.  We see each other often.  We still are corrected by our parents.  We live pretty close by to each other.  We all go to church.  God is the center of our lives.  We argue for a few seconds.  We laugh.  We are extremely loyal, giving & kind.  There are lots of us.  We help each other out.  Our children are actually friends and not just cousins.  We treat each other's homes as if it is our own home.  We cook for each other.  We voice for each other.  We defend each other.  We cry to each other.  We talk on the phone.  We go out together.  We vacation together.  We do favors for each other.  We help with each other's businesses.  We borrow each other's stuff.  We are loud & noisy.      \nThis is only a small explanation of my perfect family.  I hope that I raise a family exactly like my parents did.  I always pray for this.

My "job" is a stay-at-home mom.  I absolutely love it.  The money sucks, but the "rewards" are worth it.

I think it's perfectly fine, as long as someone's with the kids, who cares! much better than sticking them in childcare. my husband and i have discussed this a few times, and we both would prefer for him to stay home and me work. You're not alone in this thought! I guess people look down on it though because it's traditionally the wife's role to raise the kids, and the husband's to work. but i'm not one to always go with tradition!! if it works for you, tell those rude people so, and let them know that at least you and your family's happy, that's all that matters.
