You can't afford to drive to work everyday. My husband and I work opposite shifts so we don't have to pay a sitter. <BR/>I think all moms should be able to set her own hours and work when it fits her schedule. Around kids games and practices, school programs. Always have dinner as a family. I agree with the above comments, full-time stay at home mom is the way to go.Tinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12503690725009890064noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6609697803613641438.post-84238177298614326642008-09-25T14:32:00.000-05:002008-09-25T14:32:00.000-05:00Great article about stay at home work at home moms...Great article about stay at home work at home moms. I wanted to tell you about a great conference I know about. It is in Bloomington - Normal on October 11th. I'm amazed at some of the companies that will be there. It is not all just MLMs, to VA services, Transcriptions, travel, photographers and more - all having opportunites for moms to work from home. There is also going to be over 10 speakers and workshops. I read that Work It Mom founder Vicktoria Grace will be hosting a panel - What is it like to be an Entrapreanuer? Breathe Mom Breathe! 7 survival tips for busy moms - presented by Bethany Vedder. other speakers and workshops will give moms tools and keys to balance life as working mom, plus some great shopping. I'm going are you?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6609697803613641438.post-38202058139918700542008-09-24T09:38:00.000-05:002008-09-24T09:38:00.000-05:00I was a stay at home mom for 10+ years.

It may be a struggle for families to live on one income if they are unwilling to eliminate many of the extras we've come to think of as necessities. As the previous commenter mentioned, it's going to be difficult for some to cut back any further, but I see many families who have LOTS of room to "cut the fat" and make staying at home a workable option.<BR/><BR/>Our societies priorities have been out of whack for quite some time. Perhaps these economic times will give us an opportunity to re-evaluate.Rixblixhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07309657100511359394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6609697803613641438.post-73094249088681671772008-09-23T16:25:00.000-05:002008-09-23T16:25:00.000-05:00I just went back to work after being a sahm.

Not only working but having to work a midnight shift to boot because child care cost is so expensive, it would have cost me ver a thousand dollars a month for 3 kids! So I work from 11-7 come home and am up with the kids all day as daddy works...I sleep when he gets home at 6. <BR/> Even tho I added to the income coming in, our bills are still more than we can handle exp with gas prices...we dont have cable, or satelite we live with rabbit ears, we shop at aldis...the only luxury we have is the internet and thats required for my husbands job. we have cut out all "excessive" spending and we still are short....I think the full time stay at home mom will be absolet for most of America.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
