I'm currently a SAHM mom because we feel, with our particular 4 children, that is where I need to be. I've also been a working (outside the home) mom and part-time working mom. You do what works for your family and for your child(ren). It's not up to anybody else to decide how you should parent, just as it's not up to you to make decisions about the families that they raise. I actually saw a woman on trash t.v. the other day (it was a commercial, I didn't turn it on) that said all SAHM's were too lazy to go to work? Pardon me??????? I can tell you from experience both ways that nothing is more difficult than being a mom that stays home full time.

BUT, that doesn't mean it's for everybody and some day soon, when our youngest is in school, I'll be back in the working world again.

It's your life, it's your gift, to do with as you see fit.
