Comments on: Why isn’t a SAHM paid like any other job? https://www.mombiefitness.com/why-isnt-a-sahm-paid-like-any-other-job/ Have Fun Getting Healthy and Fit Thu, 12 Feb 2009 20:50:48 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.0.8 By: Deja https://www.mombiefitness.com/why-isnt-a-sahm-paid-like-any-other-job/#comment-295 Thu, 12 Feb 2009 20:50:48 +0000 http://www.realtechmom.com/?p=334#comment-295 I have a different spin on it. I really wanted to be a SAHM, I am a home body and bit of a June Cleaver anyway so I thought this is for me. Then I realized I’m not entirely happy with this 24/7, something is missing, I lost a bit of myself and became was unhappy at home all the time, we compromised and I work part time out of home, daughter in preschool, son at a home daycare, this works great for us! My point is forget what you’re supposed to do, do what works for you and your family. My kids are happier with a mother whose still got her sanity and working part time! I also think it’s cool for kids to know their mom can be and do a variety of things.

I’m not a mom yet but I certainly know that given the choice, I’d stay at home once I have kids. My mom was able to stay at home till I, the youngest, started school. Unfortunately that’s not a luxury many can afford now a-days. Guess we’ll have to keep trying for the lottery!

Like you, if I won the lottery, I would quit. I miss the smiles of accomplishment they flash my way when they check to see if I was watching them do what ever they just mastered. I miss the little hands pushing me to be just where they want to me to be. V Cool post.

I agree with Cathy about your quote. I work from home but still have to explain because people dismiss the fact that I’m a WAHM. I get interrogated from people wanting to know exactly what I do, when I do it and how long it takes me to get my work done (in a very down their nose sort of tone). Then they make me feel bad for being a WAHM instead of being a SAHM, even though I make sure my little one spends the mornings I’m working in my home office with his Daddy so they can have good one-on-one time. Most of the time I work when my little boy goes to bed and then until the wee hours of the morning but people don’t get that either. You just can’t win!

Love this quote, “That women who are SAHM (stay at home moms) have to justify themselves as real people with real opinions in order for the rest of the world to take them seriously.” I can’t tell you the number of times I’ve been dismissed when it comes out that I’m a SAHM – nevermind the fact that I have a PhD and was a very successful chemical engineer before I decided that I wanted to stay at home to raise my children.

Great post!
