Stay at Home Moms raise your hands :-)

HI JOYOUS.... So happy u here (",)

Jacadebra: Its not bad being here but it takes a lot of getting used to. No malls, need a tailor to make clothes coz most ppl dnt buy their clothes in shops, they have them made.
People dont really speak english, very, very poor coubtry, almost rural
Nothing like SA!!!! Our country is beautiful
Nowhere to go, no parties, struggle to get alcohol... actually u need a liquor licence that proves u not muslim & permits u to drink.
Its a Islamic state therefore very conservative, but foreigners can wear wgat they want. Wouldny suggest anything reaviling otherwise the whole street stops & stares!!

Hi ladies

I am also a SAHM. Our little girl is only almost 3 weeks old. I actually do study Social Work, but have only got 3 subjects this year.

I have no help in the week, only on weekends. It is still quite a thing to adapt to this new baby thing, but I love it so far!!!

We live in Wilgeheuwel, Johannesburg. I don't have anything on the side to earn extra cash, although me and hubby are thinking of starting something on the side for me, but we'll see!!

Enjoy your day ladies!

ME ME ME!!!

Hubby and I both work from home. We do networking and sell wellness and anti-aging products. But hubby is going to start studying in June again

I have a 13month old son who fills my days more than I can sometimes manage But loves him to bits and wont change being a SAHM!!!

I have help once a week but if Im to have another baby then I would def get a fulltime nanny/domestic!!

Jacadebra, the funny thing about kids are that the more you have the better they entertain each other (case in point my inlaws had to look after my LG and her two girl cousins sunday evening and they kept each other busy till we all got home - not even a peep from the seperation anxiety riden 9 month old )

My husband and my brother in law (my middle sisters husband) has their own business, they do electrical but not on houses. They do the big factories and packaging lines for the export fruit packers etc.

Well the politics thing comes from my father, he is the mayor of our region. My oldest sister recently decided to also go into politics and is now a counsil member of a different region (they live about 100km from us) So on Saturday evening my parents were out to dinner with their politics buddies and wondered how they are going to get more women involved and my name came up (no wonder I was feeling so lousy!) Will see what happens.

Nice to meet you all!

Marijke - sounds like you are one busy woman!! Branching out into Politics?? Tell us more!!! Need some more good women in the political arena so I'm sure it would be a good thing

Shakira - I must ask you - how do you keep your older kids busy during the day? I must say I'm just coping with the two I can't imagine throwing a third child into the mix. Toddlers really do demand a lot of attention and stimulation and you have two to look after!

Tess - well done studying whilst being a SAHM - I would love to finish some sort of degree (I'm the eternal dropout.. 2 years of law... not finished... half a computer programming diploma... hated both). It must take a lot of dedication to manage your studies and the household/ LO at the same time.

Zodwa - what is it like living that side - are you happy there?

Wow Joyous - 3 weeks to go!! So exciting!!

Deja - my hubby works for himself - in IT industry but I must say there have been times where it has been tough.. especially with the current recession etc. All worth it though.. I may not have a new wardrobe.. or have been to the hairdresser in yonks but I have gained so much seeing my LB grow up.

my hand goes up!!!

i've been married for 5 years and we expecting our first LO in about 3 weeks time or so.

I've been a SAHM since we got married in 2005. i don't do anything for extra income, what dh makes keeps us more than comfortable. currently we in queenstown - eastern cape.

i currently have a domestic who comes in twice a week for the cleaning and ironing, but once LO is here she will be full-time (not sure if she should be a stay in or not though.....)

I enjoy shopping, doing home decor, and helping out at church whenever i can.

My hubby works 4 the SA High commision therefore he's a diplomat in Pakistan
