WAHM board?

I would love to see one of these on here. How do we request one to the bump gods? :-)

Re: WAHM board?

  • THAT is a great idea!!
  • I WAH 50+ hours a week doing home daycare and would love a place to vent and share ideas etc. I feel like I have a lot in common with SAHM, but would also love to hear tips on how to balance work and family etc. It can be hard when you're doing it all from home. I've tried the Working Mom board and I don't feel I can relate. I'd love a WAHM board!!

    Not to be a debbie downer, but I think you would only get 40% of what you listed above and 60% of the ridiculous posts

    Yeah, I believe that. At least it would take some of the heat off of this board!

    Way to be willing to take one for the team. :-)

  • I don't think I could handle the thought of losing some of our wonderful WAHM's who live on this board.  Stacy comes to mind first.  What would we do without Stacy?

    I'm not trying to draw a line in the sand, just looking for a support group with similar circumstances. :-)

  • I emailed the bump and they said that if they get enough requests, they'll look into creating the board. So if you're interested, email them!

    I can also do a "who wants a WAHM board" post and those sincerely interested can reply and then, I can post that onto the Mods board for our Bump God to see all the replies in one place.  Whatever you all want.  :)

    Doubtful I would go anywhere- I just can't imagine a WAH board being of any use- it would be the same post over and over again. I straddle both the SAH board and the WM board- for me it works.

  • I feel stuck between the SAHM and WM boards b/c I'm a teacher, so I've been a SAHM since May, but I'll be a full time WM next week, so I understand not really feeling like you completely fit in on either board.

    Why don't you start out having a daily WAHM check in on this board and see if a lot of people participate? If it's only a handful of you guys, then maybe a check in is enough for you guys to chat about the unique challenges of WAH. If the check in turns out to be so popular it's unmanageable, then go forward and request the separate board? 

    Just a suggestion.
