Okay so I'm not trying to offend anyone but I don't understand the concept of "stay at home mom" if the children are school aged (and not home schooled)....like what do they do ? I'm seriously asking
I only had 1 year to myself with the kids in school but I still cleaned the house ( and it actually stayed clean) and ran errands and to the grocery store and every day things that way when they got home from school the afternoon was dedicated to them.
I'm so used to do all that with them anyway, I feel like I would get it done in a day or 2 then have nothing to do. Or maybe I just don't have enough errands. Lol
Guess keep the house cleaner...lol. I've been one for 8 yrs. When my baby goes in a few yrs I will still stay home. That way I can be at the school of needed. Plus all the dr appts my oldest son has.
The last part I get. I already keep the house pretty clean but I could use an extra hour a day or one free day a week and itd be spotless. Lol
Help kids w homework’s, their activities , cook, clean, keep bills in order, so much stuff
But what about throughout the day while they're at school. You don't get bored?
boredom has nothing to do with it. Being a stay at home mom is so much more. You’re there for ur children when they need you. When they aren’t home I clean prepare meals wash their clothes. It’s apart of taking care of your kids. They don’t have to be there with you for you to be taking care of them. There’s so much that goes into a kid. Like then getting sick. Doctors appointments. Etc.
I stay home now with toddlers and do those things so I understand that. Ig if boredom is not a factor for you, then that works. For me, it is. I'm only asking these things bc I'm trying to decide if I'll continue to stay home when they go to school
@angylynn22 if only. I have 4 kids and a husband, bored isnt an option. I constantly trying to keep up with the needs and wants of everyone. I have from 6am to 3pm to get everything prepared to be destroyed once more. Lol
@witchy_momx4 I just can't imagine what I'd do every day....maybe it'll be different when my kids get older
yeah, Right now, your toddlers are on your schedule, wait until they are both on their own and you gotta keep up with both.
Basically the same thing as a housewife. Just with kids thrown into mix. PTA, after school activities. It's a hard job! And any chance I get to go to the grocery store alone, or shopping of any kind by myself, I'm gonna jump on it like white on rice! A chance for 8 hours a day BY MYSELF sounds miraculous!
Seems like a lot of free time to me, but that may just be because I don't have ANY free time right now. I stay home with 2 toddlers and do all the cooking, cleaning, shopping, etc
I'm at home with a 2 year old and a one year old. I don't get free time now, so it seems like a well deserved break.
@mississippi.queen yea same I have a 2 year old and 1 year old and get everything done WITH them home. That's why it seems to me that when they go to school, I'll get things done faster and have loads of free time.
I had a live in nanny growing up from when i was a baby till i was 10. She took care of the house, me, the cooking, cleaning, yardwork, laundry, and whatever else everyone needed for her to do. Everytime i came home, she had to tend to me as well as still carrying on on the things she was suppsed to do that day. My family depended on her a lot! She did not have time to date. She did not see her family and friends often. We were practically her family. She was very well compensated for all the work and dedication she did show our family. She came with us to trips, and it was paid for. She also recieved gifts for her and her family. &’ We also heped her family when they really needed it. Im assuming its the same for SAHM except they dont get paid. Im sure some dont even truly get awknowledge for all the work they do.
Ok I'm 15 And Pregnant And I Don't Know What To Do. I'm Just A Freshman In High School.
I’m thinking of pull my daughter from her school and into home school because of the sex Ed coming to her school. How is home schooling.?
School fees Having an intense debate on Facebook about school fees for public school. I'm in the "stop whining about school fees and stop having kids if you can't afford them" camp and there is the other camp of "free school is a constitutional right! It's bull s*** we have to pay anything at all".
So my water just broke and I have no idea what I'm supposed to do and I'm home alone
home schooling Has anyone home schooled?
