The debate will go on forever, I'm sure. But here is my 2 cents: Being a working mom, for me, is way harder than being a SAHM. And now I find myself having little sympathy for SAHM who complain. I'm annoyed with myself for ever complaining when I was a SAHM.

I couldn't breastfeed, it just didn't work out. So I formula fed, use disposable diapers and feed my baby Gerber babyfood. He's healthy, happy and smart. His brain is developing right on track and he hasn't been sick for his first year of life, not ONCE. He hasn't had a bad diaper rash ever and the food he eats is just as good if not better than the kind made at home. So don't get all self righteous about us working moms with no time to steam and puree, pump and dunk diapers. My baby's doing just fine thank you very much!

So fed up with FB posts about all the "jobs" a SAHM does. I get it you work hard. Guess what? Working moms do the housework too. we all kiss booboos and listen to problems and umclog drains. Stop with the "OH I deserve a six figure salary" crap. I WISH I could be paid for doing what's basically a responsability.

I don't think I could be a working mom or maybe a mom at all. It's hard enough for me to get up at 4 am for work myself, especially when my sister's baby wakes me up with his crying and I don't even have to get up with him. Maybe that's why she works 2nd shift lol. But I'm proud of my baby (20y.o.) sister, I couldn't do everything she does.

There are many reasons why I'm a working mom, but one is definitely that DH does not handle stress well. I honestly feel that if he had to be the sole breadwinner that he would have a heart attack.

I am a working mom but I do workforce manage my home and family. By that I mean, I plan their meals, set a routine for my DD with her school work, playtime and extracurricular activities. I have a set schedule when I clean and sit down to pay my bills etc. I have to do this because balance is hard work when you have a plate full and if it doesn't get done just like at work my house could fall apart. Deadlines exist at home too. Guess it's an extreme way to look at it but... it works for me.

I'm a working mom of 2, and wondering how people in my situation just not scream and run out of here... It's not the kids, it's the monotony, especially in winter, every morning is like a Groundhog day. Going through the motions, it could be PMS or SADD, but I feel like "just get me the hell out of here!!!"

I woke up an hour early just to have extra time to play with my little baby. I hate being a working mom.

i am a working mom who would choose to have children whether i worked outside of the home or not. however, sometimes i feel like there should be a law that unless you marry a man who makes enough money for you to be a SAHM or vice versa, then you should not be allowed to have children. not because i think i am a bad mother, but because with two working parents its much more difficult to be flawless parents. my kids dont brush their teeth everyday, they dont eat proper meals and they watch too much tv, etc. we miss the ball a lot of times & i blame it on having 2 working parents. its hard.
