I will most likely be a WOHM. If I could, I would be a SAHM in a heartbeat.

Right now I would like to switch from being a WOHM to SAHM.

I'd stay a SAHM. As much as a lot of days I'd LOVE to at least be working part time I wouldn't want to miss these days.

Im part SAHM, part WOHM. I'd stay like I am or go full WOHM.

I will never go back to being a full SAHM if I can help it.

I'm a WOHM and although there are days where I wish I could stay home, I wouldn't change it.

Right now, I only work 3x a week and when I return from maternity leave, I'll only work 2x a week... I think the only thing I'd change is for my job to be closer to home. I don't think I'll like being 70 minutes from my baby. Soooo, I guess I'd stay WOHM. Buuuuuuut, if I could be a WAHM as a nurse, I would!

Right now I WAH. I'd prefer to work part time in a real office. And at a different job.

I'm a SAHM and wouldn't change it for all the money in the world! I had 8 years of working in my chosen field after graduate school and feel completely satisfied in my accomplishments. To me, there is no better, nor more difficult, job than being a SAHM, yet the rewards are so amazing, I couldn't imagine wilfully missing out on them.

We are fortunate enough to be in a financial position where I don't need to work, so I will continue to stay home until all of our children are in school full time. At that point, I will return to work part time, potentially full time if I return to the school setting as the hours work well with school aged children.

I'd love to be a SAHM but I need to work.

I really really enjoy being a sahm so I wouldn't change it but I do miss extra money!!!

I recently changed jobs to have a shorter commute and more flexibility. With that arrangement, I love being a WOHM mom. If I could change one thing maybe it would be to work 3/4 time just to have a little more free time around the house to work on projects, but I think I'd probably always wish for a few more hours of free time no matter how much I had! Overall I'm very lucky with my current situation.

I love my part time WOH schedule. I work 24 hours / week. I would rather not work any nights, weekends or holidays, but it's part of the gig.

Id love to be a SAHM but unfortunately I'll probably always have to work. At least I get to work part time though

Currently I work at home, but its not the type of job I could do with a LO here, they'd have to be in full time day care. I'm planning to be a SAHM, but we will see after my maternity leave if it's for me or not! I hate my job so that might be part of it.

@MamaMoose: congrats on the promotion!

I am a SAHM and I love it, wouldn't change it. In the future once he is in school I'd like to work part-time.

I'm a WOHM and my ideal would be to work either 2-3 days a week or 4-5 hours a day.

I wish I could either WAH so I would have the flexibility to toss a load of laundry in, start supper...etc (my last job I could WAH occasionally if needed) or only work part time. 10-3 M-F or 3 days/week would be ideal. It's really hard to stay on top of everything, I struggle and am home by 5:30-5:45 every night.

@Ree723: I feel exactly the same as you and I think, like you, it has a lot to do with the fact that I worked through law school and practiced for 7 years before having LO. I freakin love staying at home with my LO right now...she'll be 2 in a few weeks and I have loved every minute of it and wouldn't trade the past two years for anything.

So currently I would definitely keep things the same and continue being a SAHM but I have no idea if I'll still feel this way in a few years. I can see myself wanting to do something other than being a SAHM once my kids are in school

@babyjmama: I can TOTALLY see you being a sahm in the future! Imagine all the time we'd have to roam the mall together? Hehe :)))))
