Just for fun - Getting to know you :)

[TTC5]

What do you do of a day?
Are you a SAHM, WAHM, Student, Working or other? :happy:

[begonia]

I'm a SAHM and have been since DD1 was born. I spend most of my time doing laundry :rofl:


TTC what about you, didn't you recently take a part time position?

[ladybug]

I am a sahm. I was working casual as an RN since having the boys but it was too much...know I am a chef,maid,driver and whatever else my boys need me for

[atomic sagebrush]

I'm a SAHM but some days it feels like this site IS my job :rofl:

I'm a SAHM but some days it feels like this site IS my job :rofl:

Oh it sure seems like it, can't believe you do all of this on a totally volunteer basis ... thank you!

[Roonarpia]

I am a working mom :) I was a SAHM for the first 3 years with my oldest and about 20 months with my middle. I went back to work after 5 weeks with my youngest and I will be bringing this baby to work with me for a while.

[Zivic-Bubac]

Pretty much like Roonie - I'm working mom ( and I don't like it, too hectic for my taste lol!)
I was SAHM for the first 2 years with my DD#1 and then I had to find a job because DH's salary wasn't enough to support the family. Even with my salary we are hardly making the ends meet :worry:

[DoulaMama]

I'm a SAHM but I also take on about 3-4 clients a year for doula-ing:) My hubby can take random days off if I need him to come home(so I can attend a birth) and work on the weekends, which is great. I plan on doing my doula work more in a couple of years when my last baby is about 2yo. I became a SAHM before my first was born. My job was too demanding for a pregnant woman- I was a camera op at a tv station.

[Tink18]

I am a SAHM for the most part with our 2 year old DD. We own a business and run it from the house which I do most of that from home. I am also a makeup artist that I do mostly on the weekends when DH is home. I will go into my salon when DH gets home from work but sometimes people will come to my house as well. Before having DD I worked in my salon more and on the runway and in fashion shoots so I still have a pretty good rep. But my main priority is DD. I am not away from her hardly ever. I gave up my career to to be a mama! This is what I want!

So our days are spent hanging out by the pool, playing outside in the sandbox. Doing art projects. Reading, coloring, baking, Going to her cousins house and playing over there. Going to the park around the corner. Sometimes we will snuggle on the couch and watch a movie! my fav, break time!! Anything to stay active! We have a lot of fun me and my girl!

[daisyfay311]

I'm a teacher. So this time of year, I guess I'm a SAHM. :)

[Kris217]

I'm a STHM, well aunt. I have custody of my niece and 2 nephews so I need to be at home for them. The boys have special needs so my job is here. I used to work in a supermarket but went on leave to take care of my mum who had breast cancer. Once she was over that I went back to work but not long after she was diagnosed with Dementia and Alzheimer's so I went on leave again. As my mothers condition got worse she was unable to keep the grand kids and they wanted to live with me so here they are :)

Yes a huge thank you to you Atomic, you're the best!!!!

[iluvmyman]

I'm a SAHM but I work Mon and tues. as a nanny and wed, I watch my friends 2 kids part time till 1:30. I also clean houses on the side and babysit for extra cash. I also homeschool my soon to be 2nd grader and high schooler (she pretty much homeschools herself, really)

[Plum3]

Great idea. I love hearing about how everyone spends their days.

I'm a SAHM and I work two days a week as a RN in an emergency department. I love both my jobs :)

My DH makes pretty good money but it's so expensive in the bay area and we are pretty cash poor. really sad. I've been both a working mom and a sahm throughout my life and a going to school mom. My DH was a sahd for a while in there too. Great babysitter, crappy housekeeper. :) Hmmmm, I guess i can't say much as i look around at the mess.

Hmmm, maybe I can come over for a little make-over for DH's b-day in July and take him out on the town. Hmmmm let's pm cost. :)

[3Pink1Blue]

I'm a sahm since DD#1 was a few months old. Dh and are I very old fashioned, I love the whole barefoot and pregnant thing, I love dinner on the table when daddy gets home, I love mommy cleans the house daddy makes the money. Don't get me wrong he helps out but I do the bulk of the work. It is a lot of work but we love it and it works for us!

TTC what about you, didn't you recently take a part time position?

Yep! I work as a teachers aide with children with special needs and disabilities. I also run my own online business selling childrens wear :)

DH recently left work to study. We are not big income earners but we are happy and cosy :)

[TTC5]

I'm a teacher. So this time of year, I guess I'm a SAHM. :)

I'm a TA, isn't it a great profession? I love it :)

I'm like this too. But I really love being a nurse and it fits in well with DH's hours so I am fortunate enough to be able to do both.

[Kris217]

Oh I also babysit my 14 month old niece 5 days a week, well I did up until Friday when her mummy went on maternity leave :( we miss her already!

[Alexis2007]

I'm a SAHM (leaves me too much time to obsess over having a baby boy ;) ) I'm trying to preschool my 4 1/2 yr old DD and potty train my 23 month old DD. Lots of work! lol

[nicnee1976]

I work as a nurse in a Critical Care department on a part time basis. I work weekends and nights. But my full-time job is my kids and I am lucky enough to spend 90% of my time with them in the week. I went back to work 6 months after having DS1 and DS2, but 11 months after DS3 when maternity pay was improved in the UK.

I love the fact that I can take and fetch my children from school most days and am able to watch school play, sports days etc. DH has a good job, allowing me to work part-time. I have considered being a 100% SAHM, but that would mean losing my career, so I think now I have the best of both worlds!!

[gizmo77]

im a SAHM, but recently went back to work on sat only for 4 hrs. im an OT in a nursing home. i want to be a full time sahm but i need to work a little bit at a time to keep my licensure. i also love my other job (as an OT) and plan on going back full time when all the kids are grown and dont need me as much :-(
but for now i love my job as a SAHM.
we do ok with money but no fancy vaca's here! all the same, i d rather watch my kids grow.

[Bumblebee]

I'm SAHM with two girls, I just love being at home, watching my kids grow, the late mornings, late nights, cooking, snacking, tv, internet, shopping, I don't miss work ONNEEE bit! I'm making the most of it while I can before I complete my family and have to go back eventually. I hate early mornings and I pity my husband when he struggles to wake up to go to work but I love taking up the whole bed when he leaves hehehehe! I'd love to find something part time, but still waiting for my youngest (18 months) to grow some more before I introduce her into part time nursery. She's very much mummys girl :heart: and loves to be loved so she needs more time. My eldest who is 34 months is a giggly smiley bundle of happiness to loves going part time nursery and playing with her friends. :biggirl:

You're very welcome! I have a lot of fun doing it so it's actually my pleasure!!

[soontobesix]

I love reading about everyone else! I am a SAHM as well. I started staying home when DD#1 was born 7 years ago (my how time flies!). I was always very driven, career-oriented and came from a 2 working parent home. I never even dreamed of staying at home, it was not even an option in my mind. But there I was pregnant, with a very successful career, making more money than DH and knowing that there was no way I could go back to work after DD was born. My parents and everyone around me though I was nuts for leaving my career... but by now they've come around :) So I've been at home ever since and DH's career has taken off so I don't have to worry about going back any time soon (thank you God!).
