Ash Wednesday Posted February 7, 2011 Posted February 7, 2011 (edited) [quote name='Ed Normile' timestamp='1296626431' post='2207686'] I have only ever seen stay at home mums, I guess the ones in a pot could be prtable but the ones we put in the ground always stay right there! A fine example of stay at home mums. [img]http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3524/3924846996_e82b6491c9.jpg[/img] ed [/quote] I LOL'D! If we're ever able to have kids I'm thankful to be in a career where I could work from home, which is probably what I'd do. Everyone's situation is different. I think spouses just have to decide together what's overall best for your family. Having mom at home isn't a thing of the past, or at least it doesn't have to be, but I do think that the economics have changed and in some places it is a lot harder for people to get by on one breadwinner than it used to be, especially in the past few years where people either lost their jobs or couldn't be as discriminating about what sort of jobs were available for them to work in. A lot of it also depends on what part of the world you live in as cost of living varies from place to place. Husband and I live in the greater London area and the cost of living is downright vulgar. The cost of electricity went up quite a bit recently in our parts and housing alone is so ridiculous we don't plan on staying here. My mom was a stay at home mom but it wasn't entirely by choice. When we were a little older and in school, she had wanted to find work in her field of study but it was hard to come by. She kept her own little arts and crafts business in the house though. I don't know if that really paid a lot of bills but with us running around the house I think it helped keep her sane. Edited February 7, 2011 by Ash Wednesday

TheresaGrace Posted February 24, 2011 Posted February 24, 2011 [quote name='AudreyGrace' timestamp='1296533579' post='2207297'] During mine and my brother's younger years, my mom didn't work at all. Once we were in school, she either worked in the school cafeteria or found another job for which she'd be home by the time our bus dropped us off. Even now, with my brother being 21 and I a senior, she's still home by the time I get home from school. (Except I do a much much bigger bulk of the chores now lol) [/quote] Audrey Grace Maria Faustina!! Thou shalt not lie!!! You do chores?!?!

TheresaGrace Posted February 25, 2011 Posted February 25, 2011 [quote name='apparently' timestamp='1296603923' post='2207571'] I've got 5 brothers and 3 sisters, 1 mom, all my siblings born within 10 years my mom was a stay at home mom and happy [/quote] I'm from a large family as well. 6 boys...5 girls. We were what society would say is "poor." My Mom stayed home because she and my Father believed that was where the Mother belonged. "Mother" IS a profession! 24 hours a day! Well, society was wrong. We were the "richest" family around. Faith-filled and grateful!
