Re: so, i'm curios...does anyone LOVE being a SAHM???
I love it
Is it challenging??...ABSO-FREAKIN'-LUTELY 
But I never wanted it any other way.
I have a great group of mommy friends that I've been GTG with since DD was a month old. I hang with them pretty much every day or every other day.
I GTG with my mommy friends here on LIF. Sure it's a hike and I b!tch to them all the time about it   but I'm glad I have them 
I love what every day brings with DD...even when she is a royal PIMA!!  I really never wanted to miss a thing with her. And the same goes for the new baby.
I knew I always wanted to be a SAHM and am happy I'm fortunate enough to do so.
It definitely keeps me busy, so I don't ever feel "bored".

Re: so, i'm curios...does anyone LOVE being a SAHM???
I love it!! I know it is not for everybody, but even on our worst days I wouldn't change it for anything.
I work one night a week and leave for work at 6:30pm, so I hardly miss any time with him -- but it still allows me some "me" time.
I make sure we stay busy -- and we have a blast together.

Re: so, i'm curios...does anyone LOVE being a SAHM???
I do! There are tough days but I love being home w/ my kids as well as being home when my oldest gets off the bus.
I clock out btwn 7-8pm (bedtime) and I don't want a kid in sight.  I'm pretty spent.
During the school year it's much harder b/c of all the school work and homework. I don't get to clock out as early, but it's part of being a mom; it's the sacrafice.
The good days totally out weigh the bad and in the end I can honeslty say I love my job and will miss being home b/c it's not forever!

Re: so, i'm curios...does anyone LOVE being a SAHM???
I love it....I am so thankful that DH is a great provider and we can afford for me to stay home. I love DS and we spend tons of time together reading and watching plenty of fun movies, dancing time, and setting up forts. No job has ever been as rewarding as when I bake my son homemade cookies and he gives me a huge hug or kiss that is full of chocolatey fun.

Re: so, i'm curios...does anyone LOVE being a SAHM???
I was one for only 9 months and I absolutely loved it. There was no better way for me to be spending my time then with my daughter, watching her grow, learn and play.
I wish things were different and I were able to stay home full-time, but it is not in the cards right now.

I'm not a SAHM, but would LOVE to be. I always thought it wouldn't bother me to go back to work, but I absolutley hate leaving her everyday.

Re: so, i'm curios...does anyone LOVE being a SAHM???
I am a WAHM but I work around Alexa's schedule and when my husband can work from home so essentially I am a SAHM since she doesn't go to daycare.
It is the HARDEST job I have EVER DONE and I and GRATEFUL to be able to do it.
I don't always LOVE it but at the end of the day I am thankful for the opportunity to be her sole care provider...

Re: so, i'm curios...does anyone LOVE being a SAHM???
I love it. So far we haven't had to cut back on anything. If we did that might make me change my mind. I have a lot of SAHM friends so I am not really lonely, and we get out of the house a lot so I'm not bored.

Re: so, i'm curios...does anyone LOVE being a SAHM???
It definitely has its days where I wonder what the hell was i thinking staying home....but most of the time I'm so happy to be home to witness every moment, every smile, every look of wonderment when he experiences something new, it's so exciting to me. Definitely harder than ANYTHING i've ever done before, but well worth it.

Re: so, i'm curios...does anyone LOVE being a SAHM???
I LOVED being on maternity leave and spending all day with DS. I really wish I did not have to return to work though I am doing only 3 days in the office, and my mom will be watching him. I think staying home with him is the most important job in the world, and wish I didn't have to worry about missing out on any of his firsts while doing stupid stuff in my office.

Re: so, i'm curios...does anyone LOVE being a SAHM???
Love it. I appreciate it a lot and don't take it for granted because I planned for it for a long time.
I enjoyed the career I had, but it really wasn't family friendly and I miss so little of it. What I miss isn't worth going back for.
At the end of the day, I can choose to take sh!t from a boss, or from my kids. For now, I'll choose the kids :)

Re: so, i'm curios...does anyone LOVE being a SAHM???
I love it too....It is challenging and I complain but I could never imagine not having these moments and I wouldn't want it any other ways, challenges and all....
I never for a second thought I would work while my children were babies, it was just a given for me.

Re: so, i'm curios...does anyone LOVE being a SAHM???
I love it!! I love that I am able to wake up everyday and spend it with my two girls. I get to see all their milestones, special moments etc. Those are times that can never be replaced. I figure there is plenty of time to work when they go to school full time and are older. You can never get those moments/days back. It IS a lot of hard work and some days are more of a challenge than others but I wouldn't change it for the world. I think I'm lucky that I get to stay home not everyone who wants to can. But I will say it isn't for everyone.

Ii am also a WAHM tho I work for a company and do have certain standards and hours I need to be available. I have a babysitter who is with me all week but I love it because I can go out and play with them. Put them down and get them up from their naps, kiss on them etc. Its a perfect situation for me

You know, at times I do. The days when I don't, I usually wind up venting on here.
There are some wonderful parts to it, and I'm glad he sees one of his parents a lot of the day, some days he doesn't see Dad at all.
