You've probably read my posts complaining about being overwhelmed, or talking about how being a stay-at-home momma is, to say the least, challenging. And ya know what? It is tough. It's hard work to spend every single moment with your children, even more so when one of them is a step-child. But I wouldn't say I have it any harder than a working mom. A working mom has to drop her kids off at daycare or some form of baby sitter, work their butts of at some form of job just to come home and do the mom thing before she's able to collapse. They work double-time, a double-life.
And I am thinking about stepping into that role. As of right now, I am a stay-at-home mom/student. I am pursuing a degree in Addiction Psychology, taking all the classes I can online. Juggling time has become somewhat of an expertise for me here lately, as I handle doing the mom thing along with finding a few moments to study and work on homework. The opportunity has come available for me though, to get a child care grant through my school. If I put the little ones into daycare, I will be able to find a part-time job. I know it would help out tremendously, as my fiance is the sole breadwinner in our household and the burden has been pretty heavy lately.
What are your opinions? Are you a stay-at-home momma or do you work outside the home? Is one easier than the other? Leave me a comment and let me know what you think about the SAHM vs. WAHM vs. WOTHM (working outside the home mom):
