@JerricaBenton: Careful, you might be implying that LO's with WOH parents don't have great memories
-
@illumina: oops! I just meant I specifically, have specific good feelings regarding my mom, who was specifically happy being a SAHM. I have positive feelings regarding the whole situation, specific to me therefore I want my LO specifically to have similar feelings lol
-
No, my mom stayed home and I do not.
-
My mom worked and so do I but it really didn't influence me in any way. My decision to work is based on my desire to have a certain lifestyle. I chose my profession before I ever met my husband so there was no way for me to know if my husband's salary would be able to provide enough for us or not. I am passionate about what I do and that's pretty much it!
-
My mom worked until I was 10, and then she stayed home and helped my dad with his business after that.
I could follow in those steps. That wouldnt bother me. But she also claims disability, and I would hope to not be disabled.
-
Kind of?
I'm a WOH/WAHM and my mom SAHM until we were in 3rd/4th grade? Then she was a WOHM.
-
Not really. My mom SAH and I WOH part time.
-
My mom worked FT and had a fulfilling career. While I followed in my mom's footsteps in terms of job function, my dad's SAH status had a more profound effect on me. I didn't like the inbalance I saw in my house.
-
No, my mom stayed at home until we were all in school. I work.
-
Nope. My mom worked PT while I grew up (3-4 nights a week at a hospital). I'm SAH for now...I plan to go back to school until my youngest is school aged then I'll work FT.
-
Nope, my mom was a SAHM and I WOH full-time.
-
Ha ha, nope! My.mother hasn't worked since before I was born and never had any kind of career, while I'll be going back to work after my maternity leave and am very invested in my career.
-
I guess I did but not intentionally. My mum worked three jobs when I was growing up - an early morning cleaning job, a dinner lady (school lunch room assistant) and an evening cleaning job. I work FT..... but at no point did I think "I want to be absent just like her". Its just the way it has to be.
-
My mom stayed home until i started kindergarten. She really struggled with balancing home and work. I SAH but I want to start working part time. She only influenced me by showing how stressed out she was and I don't want that. I will be careful avout what I take on.
-
My mom stayed home until we were both in school then she started WOH full time. I SAH with DS for 9 months and now work part time. Haven't decided if I will SAH now that DD is here.
-
Heck no!!
My mother was a SAHM but not by choice. My father (now they are divorced) guilted her into staying at home to raise his children, have dinner ready for him after work etc. He really was financially, physically and emotionally abusive to my mother (and us in turn).
When my mother wanted to return tot he work force when we got older, it was hella hard. None of her experience was relavant anymore. She he no references etc. So she had to go back to school.
I will not be making the same mistake. I plan on returning to work as soon as my mat leave is up.
-
My mom worked 3rd shift at the hospital so she could care for us "1st shift" while my Dad worked. I currently WAH nights and weekends while caring for LO during the days when DH is working.
