Working Moms

I don't know where I belong!

I work part time. Two days a week totaling between 12-20 hours. I'm kind of a SAHM and a WAHM. Anyone else?

Re: I don't know where I belong!

  • I work part time too. I feel very much like a working mom :)

  • I kinda feel the same way.

    I stay home until 5 pm and then work outside of home four evenings a week, for about four hours (well, I had the summer off, but this will be my schedule starting tomorrow).

    Do we count as SAHMs? Because I can relate in the sense of being with LO all day (well, except for two hours when daddy will take over), but I guess not so much with the difficulties of a one-income household. 

    Actually, that part is not entirely true either, LOL, it just happens to be that I'm the one income, mainly. My husband is a full-time student, just works about 18 hours a week. Kooky scenario, I know.

  • yep... I'm working two nights a week and with the kids 7days a week. fun fun.  I'm looking into full time day positions b/c ... I'm just tired. 
  • Me too! I start back to work tomorrow, two days a week. I guess I'll know in a week or so whether I feel more like a working mom or a sahm.

    Right! I guess we kind of have the best of both worlds Stick out tongue 

  • I'm p/t too. I read both boards, but I post more on SAHM. If this board was here when I was first going back to work (or maybe it was and I just didn't know it), I think I would have posted more here. But by the time I found this board my work issues were fewer.

  • I work M-Th 8:30ish to 2:00ish so about 22 hours a week, since I am gone so much of the day I am a working mom.  A friend is a nurse who works 2 nights a week and she is more of a SAHM even though she works more hours than I do.
  • I work three 12 hour shifts and take care of my daughter the other 4 days. I don't know where I belong either
