not at all. but you need to keep updating yourself, interact with people, learn new things, read the newspaper to make sure you are growing as a person.

I see nothing wrong with a stay at home mom. Someone needs to raise those children!! If you are able to stay home, and spend time with your kids, and raise them the way you want to, and not by a daycare, then good for you!! Not all of us are that fortunate. I wish I could have stayed home longer with my boys!! Enjoy thier childhood while it lasts!!
I think being a stay at home mom is THE most important job in the world! I did it and am now back to work because my son is older, but is the best thing I ever did. Kids need there moms at home. For guidance, advice, a shoulder to lean on, and TO KEEP THEM OUT OF TROUBLE. (at least until age 18)
I wish more women had the oppertunity to stay home.
There is nothing wrong with being a stay-at-home-mom. A lot of people get judgmental about it as though it’s not real work, or that all you do is sit around and watch TV all day. These people obviously don’t know what it’s like to take care of kids! They are very demanding.
Personally, I chose to be a working mother, although I only work part time and am at home with my son two days during the week (he’s in daycare for two days and at home with my husband one day a week). We’ve found what works for us as a family and basically that’s what everyone needs to do – find what works for them.
Being a stay at home mother is SO important!!
I firmly believe no one can love your children (no matter how good the day-care) as much as there mother and father does. I am a stay at home mother and feel very fortunite to have this opportunity to bond with my children. I think the people who call stay at home mom’s things like “idiots” don’t have a clue in this world what they are saying. Don’t let others discourage you. Stay strong and enjoy your children while they are still small, one day you will look back and see that all the little things they do everyday where realy infact big things. God bless you!!
being a mom is overrated and i don’t think you should get special privileges just because you popped one out. billions of people are or have been moms! you aren’t doing anything special by doing something that has been done since the dawn of time. i would be so upset if my greatest accomplishment was reproducing. it was YOUR choice to have a kid and you knew from the beginning what it takes to raise one. if you knew having a kid would cause you to be unable to work then why have one? or is that a good enough reason? just sit at home with the kid while i go to work to pay for your WIC, food stamps, medical bills, HUD, etc…you should be made to go and work and support the life you made instead of relying on others to support it. i didn’t have the freaking kid and i don’t want to pay for it.
but i do have exceptions to my opinion… like those ladies lucky enough to have a husband who can make enough to support the whole family without help from the government. more power to them. enjoy the poopy diapers, tantrums, baths, puking, feeding all day if thats what you want because i am not paying for your experience
I have been both a SAHM and a WM. Both are rewarding experiences.
But I have had the same arguement with people about mothers that either choose or have no choice but to stay at home. I believe that a SAHM is one of the hardest ‘positions’ there is. You don’t get any breaks like a person in the workplace does. Nobody bothers to pay you for your time or efforts. It’s a 24 hrs/ 365 day a year job. You receive NO employee benefits, except for a smile on your child’s face..
I applaud all who chose to stay home(some men as well). I think that is what has gone wrong with a lot of today’s youth. There is no one there for them when they need someone because due to this day’s economy most families need 2 incomes to survive. I also think that it is sad that while a parent works, there is someone else being paid(sitter/daycare etc) to raise their child. A child needs security and stability and if your financial situation allows one parent to be able to be home then I see nothing wrong with that.
*I would also like to note that I hate the ignorance of some people whom may not understand that even with single parents sometimes ‘situations'(illness/resources etc) do not allow them to work. As long as a child grows healthy and happy, then the parents financial situation is really no one’s business!*
Whoever said that a stay at home mom is like an idiot or sub standard is a big idiot too. being a mom entails a lot of hard work and compassion.
