Would like everyones opinion..... (37)
Nothing wrong with a career mom, as long as the kids needs are taken care of while you're at work.
I make sure I keep a healthy balance of work & family life, so I can earn enough to support financially & have enough time to support emotionally as well.

If economics allow you it's best to be at home for the first 3 years of your child's little life. You will have less to worry or feel guilty about.

I would like to be a stay at home parent
But seriously, every family unit is different.

It depends.
That's my answer. In today's society, we simply cannot give a blanket answer to this question, and expect it to cover all women.
The woman should do what is best for her children first. However, staying home is not always the best answer. There is a growing number of two income families, and yet many of these still struggle to make ends meet.
So, the question still remains. Does the woman stay at home and give the children the attention they require, or does she go to work to help provide for them?
It depends.

OUCH that's a question that will get alot of people's attention.
I would have to say that I am a strong believer in the cartoon "Adam @ home" there is nothing wrong with a stay at home Dad. and let's face it if the woman is the "bread winner" in the family. the sooner she's working the better.
I do agree with the post though about the mom staying home or being readily available for at least the first three years. it calms seperation anxiety and keeps the relationship between Mom and Dad open.

I don't think it matters who works, so long as the children have quality time !!
with both parents (his time, her time and all together time)
and their needs are met ! I would like to be a stay at home dad !

Being a mum and being at home is absolutely brilliant; looking after the kids needs, preparing meals, teaching your kid to go shopping and waiting at the queue, where bread is bought or what is the car like inside at the mechanic is brilliant and totally irreplaceable. You get to know your kids pretty well and can even guess if they’re going to be ill the following day.
Being a mum at home is very absorbing (time wise) and it’s only later on that you have more time to yourself to pursue other things.

Untill they are out of the house means all life!
Both
A very old friend of my family(he is belgiam, just in case you don't think it's a wild mind) gave me a great emotional speech when i've asked me to check Unis for me in Belgiam. He told me that he felt sorrow, pitty for me that i was not married and no kids yet. He said laughing "you wanna become a business woman?" And made fun of me all time! Then i pitty myself for some minuts after that conversation. I think he just didn't bother, in order to help me creating a family sabotaging me!
But yeah, we must adjust to both!

The woman should be home taking care of the house and kid's, and the man should work, like it was on "Leave it to Beaver".........

I believe that a woman nowadays should work.....not only to keep her own independence but to instill into a child that you have to work to get what you want in this life............
Too many parents are being left as single parents nowadays because people don´t believe in the vows till death us do part.....its too easy....and you don´t want to be left on your own, then think, what do I do now because you have no work experience!
Do stay at home with your children for the first year but after that get your independence and start feeling as though you are more than a parent, you are a person!

I guess it depends on what they couple has discussed and agreed before they got married. As far as I am concerned if i ever get married and have kids and if my family can effort it, i would prefer to stay home (at least the first years) and raise my kids by myelf and enjoy each moment I share with them...after some years, when the kids are more grownup I would try to get back into work...this scenario would be ideal for me...but one never knows until it happens for real...

Everyone is different and it really depends on the financial situation etc..
Personally though I would prefer to be with my kids...I wouldnt have more kids if I was never going to be able to spend time with them. My son is now 2 1/2 and I feel that now I can leave him more to go back to study and get my career back on track as when he is in school he wont be needing me around in the mornings.....
But I feel that both of us would have missed out had I not been around the past few years..We have a very close and loving relationship and I have been here for every milestone....
I've sacrificed all of lifes little luxuries etc but its been worth it all to be with my son x

Sometimes it is difficult dusty.....I have been in this place many times with my 3 and I can tell you it's all go and you can be up against the wall a lot of the time....
Balance tell me one person you know who has that right.....Lol....it's a myth....when you have children as a woman your career and every other aspect of your life goes on hold so there are sarcrafices that are made.....
The good thing about having children is that it teaches you a lot about caring, sharing, loving and giving.....plus many more qualities learned....
You end up juggeling your life between your career your partners career your children your buisness and eventually something has to give.....enivitably it's the relationship that suffers.....
The best career you'll ever have is being a Mum....

I can loan you my 3 for a while cristina if you like.....you would love them......------ This thread is Archived ------
two parents .. one should always be available for the children. single parents that are starting a career is different then a single person working a job. no one can serve to masters and all that.
one thing is certain whichever they choose there is no dishonor. Maybe regrets later down the road.

Also dusty......I have spent time working in Creches and it is there that you get to see where the children spend most of their time......
From 7am in the morning until 7 pm in the evening.....they are dropped in asleep most of the time and by the time their parent's get them home it is time for bed......
I ask you is that the way you want your babies to be reared in the important early years......by others.....why have children if you are going to ship them out to be minded by others....
Dont get me wrong there has been a time when I had to do this too and I can tell you it tore me a part I did'nt like it at all....
My last little girl was an absolute doll and I hated having to return to work.....so after a while i decided to give it up....

Should a woman after they are married become a career mom or become a stay at home mom until the child or children are out of the home.
Tell me what are your opinions on this and what would you have spouse do? Or what would you do yourself?
