I don’t have any small children [I wish I could have stayed home with them more while they were] but now I’m starting to think about retirement as I enter my fifties, so I want to get something going soon so when the time comes I’ll be living on more than social security. I think my grown children could learn from my working at home for later on if and when they become parents or not

I agree – those were good insights. There are a lot of misconceptions about the life of a stay at home mom. It’s not an easy life. Some people may think stay at home moms have it easy or have lots of time on their hands. Nothing could be further from the truth!

The main reason I stay home is for my children, but I enjoy being my own boss too now that I have my own “WAH” Business and I am also getting to do what I love by being able to focus on my “Ministry” as well.

Great post on some of the expectations and changes mothers can expect when leaving a full-time career and staying at home. I did a support show in February about this at http://mamastimeout.com, which offers insight and tips for surviving at home.

I find high heels are not the only source of broken ankle problems. My kids have toys everywhere!!! I just tripped and fell on one today while holding a baby. I need to figure out how to get that under control.

Awesome insights. It’s been a long while since I have worked in an office and when I first stopped so that I can stay home with my kids – I did miss dressing up all nice and wearing heels and make-up and of course the paycheck. But, I do not miss it anymore – yes, I gave up a paycheck but staying home to take care of the kids is simply priceless. I love that I am here when the kids need me and that I get to grow up with my kids.
