do you work or are you a sahm???

[c.a.cullum]

i never judge either!! we all have our own ways of doing things!! theres no rite or wrong! just whats best for u and ur family!! if i dint think i'd miss my kids so much i'd have my hubby stay at home too!!!

I'm a bit of a control freak though, and I'd worry he wasn't doing things how I like them to be done! He's perfectly willing and able, I just like to do things for myself!

[c.a.cullum]

u sound a bit like my sister!!! she likes to be in control too!!! she complains her hubby dont do enough but then when he does try she complains that he is doing it wrong!! poor man cant win!! ha ha...

oh I'm not that bad (haven't painted myself in a very good light really have I?! lol). I just kinda like things done my way. That sounds terrible!

[c.a.cullum]

course it dont sound terrible!!! we all know how we like things done!!! :smile: im a bit like that when it comes to the house!! my hubby will tidy up for me but i still have to go behind him coz its not done how i like!! :smile: but im always grateful that he has tried!! bless him!

i'm on maternity leave until the end of june. although i dont want to go back i have to!! to get a mortgage. not easy!!

[becky]

How long do you get nowadays on maternity leave? i was told the rules have changed

[manicmummy]

I am a sahm who also has her own business that is growing and increasingly taking over!! but i love it, i run three community magazines and i am about to start a 4th that is baby related!!! It is possible to do and i would not go back and work for someone else again!!- dont think i could!

Wish me luck with my new project, if all oes well the first issue will be out in May and my website will be up and running within the next month. I also help others start their own magazines, so if anyone is interested please let me know and i will see waht i can do to help you stay at home and earn a small living

Love
Karenx

I used to be the one looking after other peoples kids while they worked full time and it was me teaching them to roll over and crawl which is a shame cos I would have hated to miss out on all that with my little girl.

I suppose some people just have to work full time, its a way of life.

Im just doin 8 to 16 hours a week in a card shop. It brings the money I suppose even if it isn't a lot.

Im a sahm,looking for a part time job
i have refused full time job coz i missed my kids so much! I couldn't stand the idea of loosing so many precious moments of their lives!
Lots of mums who work full time are obliged to do it, because of the money; but I know many mums that do like their ull time job and dont wont to give it up!

Karen, could u give me more explanation about a business from home? if u dont mind and have time, of course. In italy its really a rare thing but im thinkin about it sometimes tryin to imagine a job like this...(i spend so much time at the pc that i could work trough it!)
--------
I started a full time job twice since last october, but each time i gave it up after just a week: i was missing my kids so much and i could live without taking care of em most of the day (take em to school or to sport ...)
