I know growing up I thought life would be better if my mom worked since she was so troubled staying home. In hindsite, whether she worked or stayed home, she most likely would have been troubled. We would have just seen less of her suffering if she worked.StuntMomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15139907408011742274noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13595861.post-42560121353292256952007-06-29T14:00:00.000-04:002007-06-29T14:00:00.000-04:00I agree - excellent advice.

The call brought together executive women from around the world at the company that I work at. One of two grown daughters of one of the executives had participated in a focus group that discussed whether it was better to have a mother who worked or one who stayed home.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13595861.post-30886227131933339832007-06-27T16:05:00.000-04:002007-06-27T16:05:00.000-04:00I'm excited that your friend is considering a shif...I'm excited that your friend is considering a shift in the focus of her daytime life from career to kids. I think the choice to shift toward kids if you've been enjoying a paycheck/career is gutsy. It also gives you a chance to find meaning in life at its most basic. What a great opportunity. And there will likely be ample time to rebuild a career.

The only meal we ate at home was dinner and that is when we didn't go out to eat. Not to mention my kids never watched TV or video's since I only saw them for a few hours before bedtime.

Staying at home with children is definitely a financial change-even making the decision to work part time is a big change.
