Single Moms – Work at home – Online education – being a single parent

tricksy asked:


I’m looking into taking a course online and I was just wondering if there were any stay at home moms out there doing the same thing? I don’t know anyone that has ever taken classes online. Thanks

I am a stay at home mom and really need to get a job to help out with bills. Does anybody have an at home job they recommend? I am really not looking for anything like Avon. Any help would be great! Thanks.

The first time I heard of this I thought it was fluke, now that it’s the third time I need your opinions/insights.

I know some moms stay at home, and other moms work outside the home. I understand that. Some moms even have home based businesses while other moms work full time at the office and then some, I get all that.

What about moms that put their kids in daycare 10-12 hours a day and DO NOT work? They’re not running a home based business, not attending college classes, not caring for an ailing parent, etc.

All 3 of them refer to themselves as stay at home moms. Are they really “stay at home moms” when their infants and toddlers are at daycare 60 hours a week?

If you don’t then great, this is not directed at you. But I see stay at home moms on here all the time with a “I am a better mother than you” attitude. One prime example is a woman who’s answer to another question that I just read. This is exactly what she said, “why have kids AT ALL if you are going to pay someone else to raise them?” Now if that isn’t an obvious jab to working mothers, then I don’t know what is! If a mother can afford to stay at home full time with her kids, wonderful. And by “afford” I mean no welfare, food stamps, or any type of public assistance. But just because a woman has to work for a living to support her children, does not make her any less a good mother than a stay at home mom. We love our kids just as much as SAHM’s do, unfortunatly to feed and clothe them, we do have to work. So again I ask, why do some SAHM’s think they are better mothers than those of us who work? Don’t we deserve to have children just as much as you?
Fruity girl: I have seen numerous examples on Yahoo Answers over the past couple of months that back me up, so I know that there are SAHM or have a “holier than thou” attitude on here. I don’t need praise, I just need the mothers on here to have a little respect for us working moms.
I was a SAHM for about 18 months, so I have nothing at all against a SAHM. I just feel that all moms who care for and love their kids deserve equal respect.

This is crazy! I just answered a question from a single father who seems to like to cause a stir between working parents and stay-at-home moms. When it comes down to it… Aren’t we all on the same side here? We care about the same things… Our children, our families, making sure everyone is fed, happy and healthy. What is the major problem then??

Your opinions?
bmwdriver: I do not agree. I did not state, but I am a stay-at-home mother by default. I was injured in a car accident that left me unable to go back to my career. I have difficulties in a lot, but take everything in stride. Most days I would rather wrestle a mountain lion than a 2 year old… But at the end of the day, I take a deep breath and am thankful for the opprotunity to be his momma. I am not better a better momma than my best friend who works outside the home. We both have the same struggles, concerns and problems. That my friend is called being a momma.

I currently have a job that has me working evenings but my income, along with my husband’s, is still not making ends meet. I need to find something that I can do from home during the days. Our goal as a family is for me to eventually become a stay at home mom all day. We can’t financially do that right now but that’s our goal. I was wondering is any of you experienced stay at home moms out there are also work at home moms? If so do you have any suggestions for things I can do from home. I’ve seen a few scams already so any advice would be helpful.

Thank you, Thank you.

Our subdivision is full of stay-at-home moms and many are friends with me, but I find it so crazy that they don’t take the time to shower before we all take our kids to the bus stop (our kids go to a Charter school outside of our distict and the bus is required to pick them up..were not just being lazy) They catch the bus a 8:40…I have enought time to get my two kids dressed and fed and help my husband get out the door and shower myself (and I’m 6 months prego!) I’m not trying to say I’m so fresh and so clean but is that how other stay at home moms are? Why is that?

This question is going to sound loaded, but it’s not. It’s a serious question. I’m not trying to bash ANYONE.

I’d like to know why women have kids if they’re not going to be home to raise them? Why do people think it’s a good idea to make babies, go back to full-time work 6 weeks later, and stick their kids in childcare to be raised by other people? How is that healthy?
I know that financially, many women have to go back to work, but don’t you think that if more women stayed home to raise their own children, there would be more available jobs for men to have so that they could support their families.

I’m not trying to say that women should not work. I’m saying that when you decide to make a human being, you should be inclined to stick around and raise them. If you don’t want to raise them, don’t make them.
