Part time working from home. I love it! My boss is my baby's grandmother so I have a lot if flexibility

I will eventually go back to work part time but outside the home when I am ready

I work from home full time. My job at a large insurance company had the option to go home, so I did. DD is at daycare 3 days a week and with my Mom the other 2 days.

I work fulltime and my sister cares for Alex during the day. I miss him every second that I'm not with him, but in the long run, this is the best plan for our family.

FT mom working outside of the home. Like MynaBird, I negotiated for Fridays off and will work Mon-Thurs just a bit longer to flex my time.

Lol. It's definitely not! . I love it though, it feels like my calling to be home with both my boys now. I would never want to be a FT working mom.

Different strokes for different folks. . And that is perfectly ok!

The saying "different strokes for different folks" just makes me think of different hand job techniques.

Currently a SAHM. Next year I will be opening my home business so I will be a work from home mom.

We decided after LO arrived that its best for our family if I stay home. In my heart I knew that's what I wanted all along but I had a successful career that I loved. I miss it somedays but the company culture was changing rapidly and I didn't feel like I could be the same employee I'd been before and be a great mom simultaneously.

Ditto! I would never want to be a working mom either

I consider myself a SS. I was actually going to go back to work last week but since my mom passed that's a different story. I plan to only work 1 day/week more for me rather than for $. I serve so it'll only be for about 5 hrs at the most. I need those few hours for myself- to be me and not mommy, if that makes sense?
