Stay at home mom

I too thought i was definitely going to have a colicky baby due to my chronic lack of patience!

I too often fantasise about winning the lotto, which would give me an opportunity to be a SAHM, especially this morning, when its so cold and I have to leave my boy to go to work.

I guess the grass always look greener on the other side.

I am a mum of 2, 20 months LB and 4 months LG
believe me, is so much work, sometimes I end up showering at night cause I have no time.
With LB I was in SA had a maid everyday, so I used to get sooo bored, just cook at home...now I am in Israel and here Maids are so expensive, so i do everything + look after the kids....not easy my friend!

I am a work from home mom, I had my first baby girl when I still lived in CT. No support system and I needed to work (even if it was at home).

It proved to be very challenging at first, however, once she started to sit I found it much easier! I would rotate toys and play songs... the best part was finger foods! She would sit next to me, so I can keep an eye on her, but it kept her busy while i got some work done.

It is more than possible - however, I never had time to go to the gym. Running your own business and being a mother took up all my time!

I have moved to JHB (granny is much closer now) and have two children under 3. Starting up a second business and love to work from home. I have to admit, I do have a nanny to help me with the kiddies now..

See how it goes, you will most likely be overwhelmed at first (most first time mothers are) But you'll settle in and find there is always clever little ways to do your studies and be a very attentive mom

In fact, my mom was a SAHM and I loved having her there all the time, but even she admits that the reason she studied through UNISA while we were little, was to give her something that was hers to do and not make her feel like she was wasting her days away at home...I actually think that its very hard to "just be a mom" nowadays:)

I definitely wasnot judging moms who work, in fact I realise that nowadays most people dont even have a choice and even if you do have a choice its really hard to give up adult company and stimulation.
I would go crazy if I didnt have another "interest" I'm just lucky that I work for myself and therefore have flexibiltiy:)

ladies with baby #3 i so badly want to be a sahm ,without doing the laudry and dishes everyday part.but unfortuantly i cannot afford to other mouths to feed(schoolfees,bills,car).
I have to send my lb to creche in 3 wks and my heart is already breaking,but looking at the 2 older ones i know there is no way i can stay at home.

lol zodwa I also used to fall asleep while breastfeeding dylan only to find him sprawled out on my tummy and I would freak out.
