Stay At Home vs Working Mom ???

Hey .....I am not trying to say whoz better and whoz not ....😳 nah ...every mom is the best ⭐️

But do you think stay-at-home mom's have more advantages over working moms specially during initial years of child's unbringing ? Does it help to spend more time with kids rather then being out for work ? Do stay at moms build a strong bonding with child as they are at home ?

I personally can't think of any ..I feel working mom's do manage it well 👍🏼 Pooja bedi infact is good example of this 😛 ... most members on this forum are mothers ..so you can probably provide your opinions !

In the initial 3 years..the baby needs only love and attention of the family. When the kids starts going to school, they need love and attention but also have other needs which can be fulfilled by money (good school,good cloth,games,music,dance and other lessons, birthday party, books, occasional eating out and all cost money). If a women leaves her job to raise kid as a stay at home for 3 years..after that it is very difficult to go back to job. Part time jobs are hard to find as well.So i think girls should keep working even after kids but job should have flexible schedule and not a lot of stress.

cant really say which is better bec there r a lot of factors which influence this.

My mother was working when I, my sister and brother were born & were growing up..... and we are very attached to our mother..... we all did very well in our studies....me & sis are doctors, bro is a lawyer.... mom worked, came home and took care of the house too and paid attention to our school stuff as well.... but our dad had a lot of contribution towards it too.... he was a lawyer, but always made sure that he was on top of our education stuff and encouraged our extracurricular activities too....... I think it depends on family to family, mother to mother...... there are many kids who go rotten even when the mothers are staying home....... even in india many women from a generation before us didnt work, but that doesnt mean that their kids are attached to them or are doing good in their lives...... and I am not saying that every working woman's children are well settled or good...... there are pros and cons on both sides...... as I said, my mother was working and my mother in law was a house wife all her life..... I dont see any difference in my or my husband's upbringing......

I have a child now, but I am working full time too..... she definitely is my life and I cant imagine my life without her anymore.....my husband & I are working for a better life of this child and I am sure when she grows up, she will understand that..... we spend our evening and weekends with her.....so from my point of view...... it doesnt matter if the mother is working or not...... it is what morals and values you provide to them in whatever time you are with them.....or how your home environment is!!!!!

This again is one of those subjective topics and there really is no right or wrong answer to this.............nor can anyone say stay-at-home is better than a working mom or vice versa. Naturally there would be pros and cons to both of the options.

It entirely depends on the situation of the married couple.

Money is a huge factor in this decision..........support in the form of family.........husband putting in his time at home.................and a host of other factors.

I think the end result of a child is the values with which the parents bring them up with............that eventually is what makes them the adult that they become..........others things are a logistical matter which each family has to take a call on depending on their abilities.

This is my opinion but I am from another era almost and things were easier and different then.........😊

Agreed with this 👍🏼

Specially after your post, I did realize that there could be so many factors that should be taken into account.

Thanks 😛

I am a stay at home working mom (work from home) and am stuck to my computer for more than 10 hours. But I thank God for giving me such a job where I can be at home and earn but it nonetheless is hectic and really a tightrope walk. But I feel mothers are mothers and can manage anything and everything thrown at them. In every circumstance they seem to be in control and on top of everything. So all mothers on their parts try to do full justice to their role be it working or stay at home. It is just that if the family is loving and supportive, it makes all the work a worth it experience for mothers😊

Well said 👏

OK, I am personally a working woman n have 2 kids!!! Being a working woman its quite difficult for me to give proper attention to my kids!!! Kids have huge expectations from their parents specially mother like making breakfast or help them in home work etc!!! Even Its very difficult for a working woman to attend their parents teacher meeting every month!!! But these are some basic duties of a mother so we have to follow this in any cost... About the house hold work we can arrange a maid but again kids specially need attention of their mother specially before schools after schools kids also get busy in their life.. So its not very difficult to give proper time to kids

On the same hand my mother was a house wife but she was always busy in her house hold, after house hold she was busy in taking care of me, my sisters and my dadi.. She didn't have time for herself.. She wasn't able to hang out with friends and go for shopping...

I think if I have to compare between my and my mothers life, I must say that undoubtedly a house wife or a home maker have tough life then a working woman
