I know I would be extremely unhappy if I was a fully stay-at-home mom with no childfree-work time: it just isn't for me. But I know lots of moms who work out of financial neccessity and would love to stay at home, or who stay at home out of financial neccessity and long to work, and I think that's definitely got to be so, so hard and they deserve lots of hugs and understanding and love. Because even though some days I miss one or the other, I am thankful that I'm in a situation I choose/want to be in--some moms don't have any other option and, if they did, would choose the other! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-loved-this-post-on-sah-vs-woh#post-1611749 Sun, 04 May 2014 13:24:02 +0000 MrsMccarthy 1611749@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I completely agree that the grass is always greener but I will say this: to me it's sad when someone wishes they could have it one way but just can't make it work. I am a SAhM and its very hard work and we really pinch pennies BUT I also wouldn't trade it for the world. I feel like anyone who is kind of stuck being a SAHM or working when they really wish they could do the other, no matter the sacrifices really deserve some hugs. I would be so much sadder on the other side. I don't think any of it is easy but some people have no real choice in the matter and those people get extra hugs from me no matter what their preference is. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-loved-this-post-on-sah-vs-woh#post-1611483 Sun, 04 May 2014 09:34:29 +0000 Lindsay05 1611483@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This plays in my mind often!
