Which of y'all SAH and who works?

HollyBabyNumber2 · April 2013

Me, I became a SAHM after DD#2 was born in June... I worked since I was 16 so it's definitely a whole new experience for me to SAH. For those of you who work, what do you do for a living? I worked in retail until I was 18 and then I started at a mortgage company where I worked for 8 years until I had DD#2. For those of you who SAH, do you plan on going back to work some day? If so, when? I plan on going back to work when DD#2 starts school, but I still have plenty of time to think and a lot can change during that time so we will see!

Sorry about the squished paragraph. I don't know why that happened, it was formatted correctly on my end before posting.. My computer sucks sometimes...

I have a one year mat leave so I am at home for one year with each baby (if we have more) I go back in July. When I am all done with the mat leaves and having babies I might look into moving positions within my place of work. I have been doing the same

AliciaS1411 · April 2013

Im a SAHM. :] my DH is a band director, though he graduates with his counseling degree next month and he may change jobs this summer of he finds something. That would only mean a raise for him though. If I ever need to work I definitely will, but as long

unaveragejane · April 2013

So far the plan is for me to SAH until DS is 2. I was a special education teacher for 9 years, so my goal is to write a social skills curriculum in the meantime before I go back to work.

HollyBabyNumber2 · April 2013

It's so interesting to see what everyone does! I agree with PP that women going back to work in a fast paced industry that is constantly evolving is pretty tough.

I definitely would NOT go back to the mortgage industry unless we w

Starbear06 · April 2013

I am a working mom and went back when DS was 4 months. I work in the aircraft leasing industry for the past 7 years. The company I work for owns and leases aircrafts to airlines all around the world. For now I don't have plans to become SAH but if we have

I work full time. Staying home isn't an option for us since I make more money than my husband. I'm an account manager for a service bureau. I basically handle data for catalogers. I don't think I would ever want to stay home full time. I would like to wor

acbfreire · April 2013

I work PT but mostly from home. I am graduating this May, then I may be looking for a job.

I want to SAH, but we can't afford it now.

abbyhannah8 · April 2013

I work! I'm an RN and work 3 12's on Fri, Sat, and Sun. That way I get to be home with dd Mon-Thur, she is with DH on Fri, Sat, Sun, so we don't have to use daycare!

doxgirl · April 2013

In a few short weeks, I will be a SAHM. I currently work in corporate finance. It will be a huge change for me, but I am looking forward to it.

khill86 · April 2013

I have a one year mat leave and decided not to go back to my FT job. A job I used to work on call for offered me a PT position for when I return to work. I go back there in just over a month.

I'm a crisis worker. I thought about staying home

alizabethanne · April 2013

Does anyones job offer flex hours? Ex: You go in early each day and work through lunch but get every friday off and still work a full week/get paid a full week? I am so tempted to ask my work if they would consider it. I have a tech job so I could be away

BR · April 2013

I went back to work when my daughter was four months old. I am a teacher so you really can't beat the hours, days off, and summer vacation. I am so looking forward to spending the two months of summer home with her.

joleine · April 2013

I do both. I work part time (15-20 hours a week) and SAH part time. I'll continue this until DD2 goes to preschool and then I'll re-evaluate what I'm doing.

Right now I'm a finance manager for a software start up.&nb

bethgrimaldi · April 2013

I work full time as a doctor, but work 7 days on and 7 days off in the hospital so it's a great schedule. The weeks I am on are tough, but not awful. My husband is a stay at home dad which makes our lives so much easier and way more flexible. I love my 7

exhibitv · April 2013

I work full time on a flex schedule. I work from 830-430 everyday, but I'm a CPA and often have to work in the evenings and weekends (especially January - April) in order to meet client deadlines. I chose to take a pay cut for the months of January throug

I am a hairdresser in a small town. The salon I work at has 2 other stylist which both are moms with young kids. I am able to put in 3 full days and stay home the rest of the time. I love it because I feel I get the best of both worlds. I get to stay home

GeekFantasy · April 2013

I'm an RN on night shift, 12 hours shifts three days a week, though the days vary from week to week. It's nice in that DD only has to go to daycare once, maybe twice a week so I can sleep (if I work two days in a row) but I am a zombie most days

gatsbygirl · April 2013

I do both. When I got pregnant, I was working full-time and our 4-year-old went to a babysitter 3 days/week and my mom babysat 2 days/week. When DS was born, we knew there was no way we could afford full or even part-time childcare for two kids. We cou
