Who works full time, who is SAHM?

ArcticFox · November 2009

I talk to you girls all the time but I don't think I know really how much of us work full time vs. SAHM.. please share!

I have been SAHM since I had my DD over 2.5 years ago.

abba916 · November 2009

I've been a SAHW since Feb and will stay home with the bubba when he's born

MrsWhiteonWhiteSt · November 2009

I work 1 shift a week (usually Saturday 2-8) as a receptionist at a retirement community.

Not to give my life story, but I work just enough hours to pay my student loan bill each month. I made some bad financial decisions with loans and don't think DH should have to foot that bill.

I am home right now on maternity leave until end of December/beginning of January, but will be returning to work (28 hours a week) as a physical therapist. I will be working 3 days a week, with DH home those days with Evan. We plan on doing this until he is one (as long as my work continues to approve it) and then we will decide from there what we will do (ie. daycare, etc...).

MelissaSue81 · November 2009

I work 20-25 hours per week. mostly evenings.

battybtags · November 2009

I work 3 days a week (24-25 hrs)-mainly for our health insurance. It's super cheap through my employer compared to DH's so that's why I have to work.

jewelsonu · November 2009

I work full time

mrsoc · November 2009

I do want to add that I so feel extremely lucky that the agency that I work for lets us arrange our schedules like that. I know that is not the case in a lot of full time situations....a lot of women would not have that choice.

sunnygirl05 · November 2009

I work full-time. Ideally I'd like to work part-time.

June4bride2be · November 2009

I work 4 days a week and bring R with me, it is perfect when my boss is OOT.....yucky when she isn't.

I want to stay home, and hope to when we have #2.

olivia_eve · November 2009

I've been a SAHM since DD was born. I'll probably SAH for a few more years, and then hopefully get something part time.

aSp6907 · November 2009

I go back in 2 weeks, I've been out since April, bed rest and then maternity leave. I will be going back full time, I would love to be a SAHM but we just can't afford it. Especially since I've only been at half pay for more then half of the pregnancy. DH and I have been trying to find me something part time or even something I can do from home. No luck yet though.

JenJar · November 2009

I was home with Gavin for 4 months on maternity leave, then went back to teaching full time. When we decided to move to NY from Ohio, I decided I wouldn't get my teaching license here, so I'm a stay at home mommy and a Tastefully Simple consultant. I usually work about 5 parties a month, so about 15-20 hours a month.

day194 · November 2009

I work full time, but from home. Although it's a real 8-5 (well 8:30 - 5:30) type job, so L still goes to daycare all day 5 days a week.

KRSTN2 · November 2009

I work full time which typically results in 40+ hours. Would looooove to be SAHM or even find something closer to home part-time.

orangeluck · November 2009

I work full time

BelhurstBride · November 2009

I plan on working both jobs up until the end, but then I'll be a SAHM.

Telyco · November 2009

I stay at home but do occasional freelance design work on the side (wedding invites, baby photos and announcements, party invites) I hope to really start working hard at it after the kiddos get a bit older.

Read2Me · November 2009

I'm a SAHM.

NikCole · November 2009

I stay home. Thinking about getting a PT job in the spring?(a couple nights a week while DH is home w/ Ev) We are hoping to build a new house next year, so a bit of extra $ will be nice.

BitsyKelly · November 2009

I'm a SAHM, but may start looking for something part-time next year.

fenwaygirl5 · November 2009

I plan on being a SAHM when the baby is born. Since I am a certified teacher I figure I will sub every once in awhile.

Cutemin · November 2009

I am SAHM. I hadn't planned to be, but when Tyler was born he cried non-stop! I really worried about anyone else, even my DH, would throw him out the window after a few hours of listening to the screaming. So I was fortunate to work it out to stay at home.

jnk062602 · November 2009

I work full time - but it is 4 10-hour days. It is retail, so half are 8-6 and half are 11-9 with every third weekend. That really doesn't work with most daycares. DH works 20 hours - just Fridays and Saturdays and watches Elizabeth the other days. And then my mom comes over every third Saturday.

emiliemetcalf · November 2009

I am just starting back to doula work, but I can work as many/few hours as I want for postpartum jobs. I am going to start doing births in February as long as we figure out child care for Tess if both DH and I are gone overnight.
