A Stay-at-Home Mom Explores the Pros and Cons

To everything there is a season...
This article makes some excellent points, and when I was a mother of three young children, I clearly remember the conflicted feelings of wanting to work but also wanting to be there for my kids and husband. "To everything there is a season", before you know it, the toddlers go to elementary school, then to secondary school, then they are gone to college or to careers. Hanging in there with children, whle they are young is, in my opinion, the best option. But if you must work, part time work is great, and once the childrlen are in school, juggling home and work is much easier. Now as a grandmother of 6, I find that working in my own business as a freelance researcher provides the best of two worlds: I love my work doing focus groups, and I also love being "support services" for my grown up "kids" and grandchildren. Enjoy the present moment, all you young Moms!

Stay at Home?
As I was reading this article, I couldn't help but think that the term "Stay At Home" mom is really misleading. I don't know too many "Stay At Home" moms who actually stay at home. They are in their car, at the grocery store, back in their car, at the park, back in their car, at the toy store, back in their car, at ballet, back in their car, etc. I happen to know the author of this article and you just have to spend one day with her to realize she is anything but a "Stay At Home" mom. Those kids are always on the go.
I don't have any children so I don't know what it's like to bring children into this world and to make decisions that are best for your children, at the expense of your own dreams. Jennifer is someone who could do anything she puts her mind to. Skies the limit. From watching Jennifer raise her children, you would think that being a "Stay At Home" mom is her dream. That's how seriously she takes her role as a parent and "Stay At Home" mom. And of course, you can't forget the role of the father when he comes home from his job to give some relief to the "Stay At Home" mom. Jennifer is fortunate on that front as well.
