If you are a working mom do you wish you were a SAHM

Kentuckychick_8201 · May 2009

I do, but then they say the grass is always greener on the other side.

Amy Schramm · May 2009

Nope.

Linds&Chris777 · May 2009

Hell no.

o2bme · May 2009

Not really.

Momma_S · May 2009

I wish I could go PT. Best of both worlds IMO. I asked and they said no here. Crying

tmbuchmann · May 2009

I'm glad I've got time to work but every day when I drop DS off at Daycare I wish I could stay with him all day. It kills me that I miss out on that time during the day with him. So yes, I wish I could be a SAHM.

barkers4jmm · May 2009

In some ways. I wish I had the choice. I make a lot more than DH, so it's not an option for me.

Janimal · May 2009

No.

Echowysp · May 2009

I'm currently home and dread going back to work in September. I'd so much rather be at home for a couple of years.

ladeebri · May 2009

I wish I could work PT.

JenMich · May 2009

Yep.

Jenny0908 · May 2009

Yes, I would love to SAH but DH cannot replace my salary so that won't be happening. If we have another he may be a SAHD though.

stacylu · May 2009

No

loveybear · May 2009

Yep! I love my job but I would LOVE to be able to SAH.

What am I saying, after this new one is born I'll have to stay home, so I'm excited about that! although I'm not sure at this point how we're going to pay our mortgage...

olivejuice127 · May 2009

I would like to work Part time so I get the best of both worlds...

PAP179 · May 2009

It would be ideal if I could work part time or reduced hours. This 8:30-5 plus 1/2 hour commute each way just does not give me enough time to be sane!

Timeg · May 2009

Yes!!! I like keeping my mind engaged in something, though, so I wish I could work from home or something

Karen_77 · May 2009

DH is SAHD right now, once he gets a new job then I'll quit and be home with her. So, right now I'm enjoying being at work and don't wish to be home but that is primarily because I know this isn't a long term situation, if that makes sense?

mamamoos · May 2009

every.day.

unfortunately, that would mean cutting our income literally in half, and doubling insurance for DS and myself (bc DH's insurance is so expensive). which would just not work.

mooregatemommy · May 2009

I think I would like to work part time. I love my dc's and all, but I don't think I could SAH. It's just not for me.

Ankea97 · May 2009

Nope.

OUMedBride · May 2009

Not really. PT would be great though.

bellpeppers · May 2009

sometimes...

victoria1977 · May 2009

No, not really. I do wish I could cut back to PT, but I'd lose bonuses and benefits if I did and in this economy that is not something I am willing to part with. Also, DS is home with MIL everyday and that makes it easier to know he is in loving hands. I was home for 4 months and I know that full time sahm is not for me.

miniko · May 2009

I have the option for next year to teach pt. 2.5 days a week. I would love that schedule but with the economy I'm not willing to do it.

chadandamy · May 2009

umm...no way! I am a teacher and I will have the summer off with ds. While most of me is really excited another big part of me is worried about it! I think I will need a break!

~Baby1~ · May 2009

Yes!

fall-love · May 2009

I love my career, but I wish I could work really part time for a few years until my LOs are in school... like 2-3 days a week. As of now it's not an option, but maybe after #2 in a year or 2.
