Does your mom work?

I always see people posting about how their mom/mil watches their kids both here and on the WM board.
Do you plan to work after your kids move out?

Re: Does your mom work?
My mom works and always has. But she works for herself out of her home so when I truly need a daytime sitter she schedules around helping me (this was invaluable when I was on bedrest). MIL was home until her youngest was in HS, then took a job 3 days
Both my mother and MIL work, and my mother ha told me point blank that even if she didn't work, there is no way she would sign up for full time childcare for DS- once or twice a week maybe, but no more. So it's unusual to me, too.
I have no idea
My mom went back to teaching the year I went to Kindergarten. She then taught for 20 years. She is now retired, she just turned 65. She and my dad look after my DD pretty often. My MIL still works and is much younger, early 50s. My FIL does not work, b
My mom works, but was a SAHM until my brother and I were in elementary school.
I know she wishes she could retire and watch DS, but she needs to put in a few more years before that happens. Also, she thinks it would make me go back to work,
My mom was home with us until I was around 5 or so. She has worked since then. While I know she loves my DD, I don't trust her enough to let her watch DD alone. My parents were abusive when I was growing up.

My mom was a SAHM when we were kids. She didn't work until we were out of high school. But last year she was laid off, and hasn't worked since with no plans to again.
My daughter is in school and I still SAH. Honestly, if I never had to wor
My mom went back to work when I went to K. She retired a few years ago though and was a big help to me when DS2 was born. She has an unpaid full-time job now though, since my sister had a baby two years ago and is a single mom who works ove
My mom was a SAHM from when my older brother was adopted until I was in 1st grade. She was a middle school teacher prior to staying home and didn't want that commitment again and my parents didn't need a second income so she taught preschool part

Yes, my mom does work. She lives 2.5 hours away, so even if she wasn't working she wouldn't be able to babysit very often. My sister lives close to my mom and mom babysits my nephew one night a week. MIL does not work, but lives acros
My mom has never been a SAHM. My MIL stayed at home with her boys until the 3 of them started kinder.
My mom would never volunteer to watch the boys FT while I worked, although I'd be willing to bet my MIL would do it at least 3 days
My mom works. She started working when i was in 1st grade (im the youngest). She worked in our school so she was always home when we were home. Now she still works there, but she also got a part time 2nd job, so she works alot. She started the 2nd job
MIL is disabled so she SAH.
My mom watches ds maybe once a month, and MIL doesn't wa
My mother went back to work when I was three. She is a teacher. My MIL also works.
I would honestly be happy never going back to work. I always wished my mother was a SAHM when I was in school. I was SO jealous of kids that had moms at home, even
Yes, my mom works.
Not sure what I will do when the kids are in school.
My mom does not work and didn't when I was growing up. I still have school-aged sibs though.
I'm not sure when/if I'll return to work. We'll see what happens.

No. My parents are both retired.
MIL is retired too.
None of them would be willing to be daycare for us. All of DH's co-workers have their parents watch their kids while they work.
My mom went back to teaching when I was 10 and just retired this year after 30 years. Very proud of her! My MIL also worked, but did not retire from any job. She just stopped at some point.
My parents will watch DD for sev

My mother worked for the first part of my childhood but then she got put on disability for chronic pain and she hasn't worked since. I know she misses it but it would be too hard on her. She was a nurse.
