Is it time to break stereotypes?
If you are a 'Stay at home Mom', you are easily stereotyped as having all the free time in the world & enjoying life in a way that working moms can't. Do you agree that a 'stay at home' mom's life is easier than a working Mom's life or is it just a stereotype created by the society?

When I first decided to resign it was very disheartening and I felt, am just jobless person and sitting at home doing nothing but the baby care. But as the days passed I realized and saw a big personality growing.

From her 1 year age she used to walk up to the babies crying and help them console by her own dance or claps... She wasn't scared of strangers, no separation anxiety for that she knew my mom is beside me always. She never worried about falling as she was confident of her mother's care. She feed animals she care for them too. Now she is two year old and her nature, behaviour and understanding is more than her age. I never felt she is impossible. I never had to distract her on vaccination she knew already it's fraction of pain and she cooperates.. Today she can recognize colors, reads alphabets and numbers, can say numbers in order up to 20. She can write standing and sleeping lines and very few alphabets. She sings rhymes and prayers. She cycles almost like an adult. She is growing intelligent, kind, helpful,friendly, strong and more powerful. Am not sure if we could have ever grown a daughter this way if I wouldn't have been with her.

It's fun to be with her and I loved being MOM.
It's stay home mom or, rather it's staying in her heart. Am loving my life more than I did and am proud of my decision.

Working is not doing bad to a child, you guys do set an example of managing between both life.
But remember to have them in safer hands like. Although no hands are safer than mom's hand. But grandparents are always reliable those hands bought you up. Avoid sending them to day care or early play school let them enjoy, from three years of age they are anyways in battle. Stay close and prepare them for the Battle.

Working mom and full time mom both are challenging.
All mothers and fathers are great, cheers to all of us. Love yourself and love what you do.

staying at home is not actually meant more free time to spend.
others in family thinks that mother is just staying not working, so let do all works from morning to night and no reputation at all. others think only duty to do is household works to be done by mother instead of servent bcz the mother is not working. so there is very less time to be with baby that too during feeding time.

bcz i share this from my experience

Well said... you have included everything that I wanted to say and what most of the people ignore... my baby turned five last week... I took a career break before she was born... I don't consider my deeds as a sacrifice , instead I am always proud that I've raised a confident and strong personality. She is so bold and not affraid of any challenges, and managed the even the first day of school without separation anxiety, she didn't even cry for a while. She manages every worrisome situations in her life with incomparable tactics, eventhough it is an illness, vaccination or a strange environment....

it is not an easy job to stay at home n manage as not ababy but awhole family they have to manage
Tarun K Sharma Father of 2 children 6 years ago
No, either working mom or home mom it is not easy task top handle your baby. Working moms are always tensed whether their baby is safe with the babysitter and working is too not easy while home moms have to complete their home chores and take care of the baby. Massaging a baby, Giving the baby a bathe, feeding the baby and handling all of his/her responsibilities is not an easy task Both working and home moms are equally working hard.
