Thread: Why Is It That I have To Justify Being A Stay At Home Mom

HMMM..great questions! I know a few people who are stay at home moms and is in your situation, other people think they just sit home doing nothing. I plan to be a stay at home mom when my baby is born for atleast the first 2 years of my child life and nothing is wrong with that at all. I would rather take care of my own child than having to pay someone else to do that job for me. Being a stay at home mom is one of the most challenging yet great job someone could have, so let dont people bring you down like that. Keep your head up high!

That is YOUR business. Who are they to question what you do in your life?
Do they pay your bills? Do they feed and raise your kids? Do they take care of your home? Do you have to live with them?????

Seeing that the most correct answer to those questions would be "no", then you have no reason to justify a thing.

Live your life; stop caring about what those nosey, jealous-hearted people think about you.

Well said! It really isn't anyone elses business. People just like to make comments about other people lives without looking at whats going on in there own lives.

Hey i know how you feel as i'm in the same boat. So what if we stay at home all day it those ppl dont seem to understand that being a mum is a 24 hour job always on the go. I for one love being a stay at home mum and even if i wanted to change it i would'nt. So why do u care what other think or say at the end of the day you decide whats best for you not them. People who think that they have the right to tell me or anyother stay at home mumwhats best for should go and jump cos its not as if it we asked their advice.

whoever looks down at you is jealous of you.
you don?t have to justify why you are home? You are not having a vacation by being home , It is your job... and even a much harder than regular fulltime job.
I spent one year being a stay home mon after I had my son, I remember my friends telling me "Nadia, you are so Lucy to enjoy the first year of your son?s life".

Nothing wrong with a stay home job, I think that is why I chose my screen name to be ?housewife?.;)

I'm not a mom yet but I recently quit my JOB because I run a very lucrative home-based business and now have been blessed to have the opportuntity to work from home part-time. However, my DH and I do plan on adopting and once I do I wouldn't want anyone else raising them. I would say don't pay any attention to what others have to say. Besides staying at home to raise a family is a huge responsibility, job and a blessing too.

Blessings,

Thanks for responding,
The thing is that, its people in my family. My parents and one of my sisters seems to be having the biggest issue with it. Its not a respectable job to them, thats crazy. But thats why I care, they're some of the most imporant people in my life..
If it was some random person then it wouldn't bother me as much.

I think I might just be the only one in this thread that has a problem with housewives. I'm not jealous of them. I just don't understand them.

I also know some stay at home moms who are just y.
