Wahm - Work At Home Moms: A Career Woman Leaves EmploymentWork at home moms, wahm, are doing a noble job. Caring for kids can be time consuming. As a career woman, can you be a work at home mom? Should you? Well, here's some honest truth. Whether you like it or not, sooner or later you're going to be face to face with this decision. Should you continue with your paid employment? Should you give it up and become a wahm? You have a great career. You have a great future with your company. The sky is the limit. This is what you've always dreamed of. You worked hard in school because you dreamed of someday holding positions of honor and pride in some reputable organization. Now you've got it. Your dreams have come true! You're ecstatic. Then the children start to come. Your first pregnancy was particularly difficult. Your body was just beginning to adjust to the demands of pregnancy. Happily, you got through it safely. Thank goodness. But then, there's a new challenge. Nursing a baby is by no means easy. It's not easy for full-time house wives. It's not easy for work at home moms, wahm. It's especially difficult for a career woman. Once, you've got a baby, there's a chance another will follow in a couple of years. And then another. And another. Before you know it, the work at home becomes even tougher than your office job. Now you're in a dilemma. You love your kids. You want to spend more time with them. But you also love your job. You're building a career. You want to make an impact in society. You want to climb up the social ladder. You want to be a woman of influence and power. You want history to remember you. Now there's a major conflict going on inside you. You know your kids need you. You know your husband needs you. You also know the family needs more money . . . much more than your husband alone can provide. Besides, you also don't want to give up your job. You're building a career, remember? You want a date with history, right? Day jobs can be exhausting. Most people I know go through the 8 - 5 drill and come home completely exhausted. Hence, there's little time for the kids. You're probably in the same category. There's a solution, though. Get a nanny or house maid. Your house maid will take care of everything. Just push all of your responsibilities to her while you concentrate on building your career. This has some advantages . . . Some moms have, however, adopted a different approach. They preferred to give up their day jobs and spend more time with their kids. Some became full-time house wives. Smarter ones became wahm . . . work at home moms. Work at home moms have a huge advantage. 1. They help build the lives of their kids because they spend more time with them. They connect with their kids in a special way. Money cannot buy that. 2. They provide a second means of income for the family 3. They have less stress. They escape the 8 - 5 drill that keep many enslaved to a career. 4. They have a great sense of satisfaction and fulfillment because their home business is built around their passion, interest, or knowledge. 5. They have freedom. They do not take orders from anyone. They work at their pace. They live life on their terms. Ever thought of being free like a bird? Ever thought it's not possible? Work at home moms have found that freedom and . . . it's exhilarating.

Why have some career women given up their cherished career to spend more time with their kids? The reason is simple. No maid can care for your kids the way you will. Your maid cannot have the same kind of attachment you have for your kids because they are not her kids. So, no matter how good intentioned your maid may be, she cannot replace you in the lives of your kids. Your kids will still miss you. How do the long absence of parents because of work or business affect their children? Children yearn for parents' attention. When that is not available, they look to other sources. Unfortunately, those sources may not be healthy for their growth and development. Bottom line. You may lose your kids if you don't establish a presence in their lives while they are still young and begging for your attention and affection. Who knows . . . you may even lose your husband. It has happened before. It will happen again. Hel-lo-o-o-o-o! It's time to re-consider your family-work balance. Can you spend more time with your husband and kids? Can you be a work at home mom?
