I am fortunate enough to be a stay at home mum and i also run our carpentry business and i am very proud to be a stay at home Mum as well as a at home working mum. I must say to all you women out there who have kids and work full time 9-5pm my hat goes off to you as i no that i would not be able to do it unless it was my own business and working from home, like i do now.

I think there is no difference in being a sahm or working mum the child still knows they are loved unconditionally and lets face it Kids change all the time, there routine, eating habits you name it. I must say it would be easier in routine wise for sahm than full time working mums. But my DD #1 goes to daycare twice a week and i just stick to the same times as daycare for sleeps and eating and it works a treat for me. My 3 mth old i just go with the flow and watch for tired signs etc.

I think the best thing about being a sahm is that you can get kisses and cuddles whenever and you are still spending quality time with them and seeing them grow into a mini you and your husband combined.

Liz - sorry to say but enjoy your sleeps in the arvo now as that will all change soon, mbear i am with you on that one.LOL!

My Dh works long hours and hard so my roll is to keep the business running and maintain the household etc. But my DH helps still and we work as a team and i am very very fortunate to have such a great dh who still helps with the kids.
