I have done both, been a working mom and a sahm. I prefer being a sahm. it gives me more availability for school functions and such. I feel I can be a better more hands on parent this way.
I'm a sahm cuz life called for it. When I had my 3rd daughter she needed lot physical therapy and was super colic so I stayed home with her. Then had a surprise when she was 7 months u was pregnant again. Daycare would be to great so I stay home. I love it cause I'm the one with my babies all day but I do miss the more adult interaction lol
I wish I could have been home with my daughter the first year. I had to go back to work after 6 weeks. My husband does not make enough to support us on his own... :(
It has its pros and cons . I enjoy it for the most part . I love being able to see my son grow and learn and to be more hands on . Im also planning on home schooling both my children so being at SAHM now gives me a headstart . The cons for me are not as much alone time you would want and house work is put on you more than your spouse since you're at home(although my husband does try to help And I appreciate that)
It's awesome! It's a little hard to do chores and stuff right not because my babe is so young. But it's definitely worth it. You do get bored but summer is coming and you'll be able to do outdoor activities and stuff.
