WHY DID YOU CHOOSE TO BE A SAHM OR WORKING MOMS?

(TO ALL MOMS AND FUTURE MOMS OUT THERE) 🤗🤗🤗

I myself chose to be a SAHM...I am a mom of 5 kids...Been SAHM for about 12yrs now...Me and my husband agreed to this term for its just the two of us, meaning, we don't have parents on our side to help us to watch our kids...And yes, we thought about getting a babysitter...But, is it worth it for 5 kids with lots of bills to pay at the same time? For us, it will just add up to our bills at the same time we don't really get to have the chance to watch our kids grow...Our mind is set to watch them grow, teach them what needs to be taught and guide them with everything...They're not gonna be child forever, so we want to have this moment while they are still on our side, especially me as a mom. I really want to be there for them any time they need me..

Yes, it is a struggle to raise 5 kids, sometimes its frustrating, its a challenge to my mental health, but I gotta be strong for them coz they are the reason why I am still going in life...They are actually my life and I love them so much...

My youngest is turning 3 this year, I'm already counting the years left being a SAHM, coz for sure when he gets to school, this MoMMa gotta go back to work already...It's just sad to think about it, that kids grow up so fast...TIME FLIES SO FAST! When I'm done being a SAHM, I know I will be happy about it and not regret every single thing that I became a SAHM for years coz I never missed watching my kids grow..So, kuddos to all SAHM out there!

I am also proud to those working moms out there, coz they amazed me on how they manage their time with everything, how they really help financially to their family...I know they are also tired from work but yet, they can still take care of their families...❤️

SAHM OR WORKING MOMS, always remember, we are all amazing in different ways! ❤️

... Read moreBeing a Stay-at-Home Mom (SAHM) or a working mom comes with unique challenges and joys that shape a family's life. Many mothers, like the author, choose to stay at home to nurture and guide their children through their formative years. This decision, often made to better care for the children, can be driven by financial considerations, especially for larger families. With the increasing financial pressures, working moms also play a crucial role, expertly juggling professional responsibilities while providing emotional support at home. Both roles are commendable and highlight the incredible multitasking abilities of mothers. Studies have shown that children thrive when parents are actively involved in their upbringing, which can be achieved from both the home and workplace. Ultimately, every mother, regardless of her choice, contributes immensely to her family's success and well-being. The debate between SAHM and working mom is ongoing, with many resources available for mothers seeking to find balance. Support networks, online forums, and community groups can provide invaluable advice and encouragement as they navigate their roles. The key takeaway is that each mother must find what works best for her and her family, ensuring she feels fulfilled and supported. Celebrate the choices that mothers make, as they are all vital to nurturing future generations!

After a lot of discussion with my husband I chose to be a SAHM because my son has a medical condition and I just felt more comfortable being at home with him just in case something were to go wrong. He still goes to daycare once a week (it’s my moms house and she runs an in home daycare) just for the socialization aspect
