Traditionally the role of a mother was the household. This included taking care of the children, home, cooking, and a thousand others jobs where the only pay was a smile from a family member. In today’s society not only is the mother involved with the same duties as before, but also in the large majority of cases also contributes financially to the family. It has become a society of two income families. Not necessarily out of wanting more, but of necessity. So this new role for the overburdened moms creates alot of stress, and takes some of the fun out of being a mom.
So why not consider working from home? Work at home jobs and moms are the perfect solution to a stressful situation.
As mothers we face the emotional decision to leave our 3-4 month olds in the care of virtual strangers in order to go back to work. That alone is a tremendous burden emotionally, then you have the extra guilt trip of not being able to spend time with your child. Even though you may have had a successful career before children, as a mother your emotions will rebel against this decision. At the end of the month you have to decide if the cost of child care, extra gas for the car, clothes, and all the other expenses are worth the time away. Shouldn’t there be another option? Isn’t there another way to earn money, as still be able to fill my role as a mother?
As a stay a home mom, I can vouch that it is a full time job. But as the children got older I had more free time on my hands that I used to make extra income to take some of the pressure off my husband. It allowed me some independence as I was not entirely dependent on my husband for support. It also allowed me a break from the everyday routine of four children. It allowed me to further my knowledge, and do something I really enjoy and get paid for doing it. So when they were in school or taking a nap, I worked on the computer and honed my skills. Working at home and motherhood is a perfect fit for me.
In todays’ world downsizing is a national past-time for some companies. We have all been hit by it in some form or another. The hardest segment of the population to be hit by this trend are women. So any income generated at home is more valuable than it was 20-30 years ago. So can you earn money while staying at home? The answer is not a simple one, but one of a “yes” and a “no”. Everyone will agree that the possibility of gaining financial success at home is possible, we should also say that it will not happen overnight. You will not see an income on the first day, or the first week, or the first month, perhaps not even the first year. However, if you are determined to learn and do not give up the dream, then you will see some measure of success. The amount of success is entirely in your hands.
In my opinion working at home is the perfect solution for a stress free life.
