Mom was a SAHM and so am I! It was such a good experience for me, it was important to me to give LO the same thing.
-
i only remember my mom as a WOHM, but she said that after she had my 2nd brother(her 3rd baby in 3 years, no twins) that she stayed home. but i don't know how long, because i only remember her WOH. currently i am a SAHM, but not sure how long for.
-
My mom was with my sister and I until we turned 10 and 12.
My brother only had her at home for his first year of life because she really needed to begin her career at that point (she was 33 by then).I will do the same.
I plan on being a SAHM until my kids are school aged, and then diving into my career.
If I have any more kids after that, well, they will be daycare kids. I can't keep leaving and returning to my job. -
My mom was SAHM until my parents divorced and she started to work. I loved having her at home and when she started working things were just not as nice (very few family dinners, things were not as clean, the house was empty when I got home...)
I will be a SAHM. I think it makes a big difference for a child.

My mom was a WOHM and we haven't decided yet. Long term, I will probably be a WOHM, but I would like to take 4-6 months and be a SAHM if we can afford it. I'll have to decide pretty quick!
-
We both are combinations of WAHM/WOHM. She definitely taught me that I could have the set up that I wanted if I worked for it.
-
my mum stayed at home (as a single mum to 4) until I was 10 and the youngest was 5 (just started school) when she went back to school part time, and then once she graduated she got a full time job when I was 14. so I had a bit of both!
I SAH, and likely will until all our kids are at school, then I'll prob go part time
-
Mum was a SAHM and I will be too.
-
My mom was a SAHM and I am now a SAHM. It works really well for us!
-
My mum was a WOHM but she had to as a single parent. If the circumstances were different I have always wondered if she would have stayed at home. I will be a SAHM
-
My mom was a SAHM and I kind of wish she had more to focus on than me. I distinctively remember feeling like she was overbearing by the time I was in third grade.
I have a masters degree, a career, a mortgage, and a desire to maintain my brain. I will definitely be going back to work even though I know it will be tough.

I voted "other" because my mom doesn't really fit in a box! For most of my life she has always had at least one job, but she always worked it out so she could be home with me too or take me with her to work. Before I was in school she was SAHM for a while then worked at a video store that allowed her to take me to work with her. Once I started school she ran the latchkey program and I could go there with her. Then when I went to middle school she got a job working at the school as an aide so she'd only work school hours and be home after school with me. She did also work second jobs sometimes but only nights/weekends when my dad could be home to watch me.
I will be a work at home mom, but I will have to put my LO in daycare at least part time because I don't have the sort of job where I can multitask baby + work 40 hrs/week and get anything done.
