If you are a working mom, why?

[Anonymous]

Why did you decide to keep working after having your baby(ies)? What made you decide to continue to work? Was it a financial decision?

Why not?

Because I hate my children.

I think my mom hated being a mom. It was best for all of us she worked.

I like working and honestly to me being at home with my kid all day isn’t appealing. And I believe that the socialization at daycare is important.

It's really awesome knowing my kids can eat and have insurance.

Honestly? My kid likes going to meetings with me and going to work with me. I say I'm a working mom and he says he's a working kid. He's 5 yo and I own the business

I wouldn’t be a good mom full time, I love my company and job, I provide the health insurance for us.

I know this is a tongue in cheek response, but honestly I know I’m not a great mom. I am happier at work than at home. Trust me, I know it makes me sound like a monster. Weekends are miserable for me because I get anxious/ stressed/ mad so easily at my kids. I had no idea this is how it would be. So I work so I have less time around them to screw them up. My DH is a SAHD.

Sure you do.

My husband doesn’t make enough for me not to work. Otherwise, I would love staying home and raising my kids.

For the same reason my husband is a working dad: roof over our heads, food on the table, clothes on our back. This is true for 99% of people who have jobs, men or women.

The term working mom is archaic and needs to go. No one calls fathers w/ jobs working dads. My husband is a stay at home parent so one of us needs to work. I had better earning potential when we had children and he wanted to step back. It has worked well for us but is very hard for some strangers to handle - particularly at school events when the other mom's constantly mention that they see my husband all the time but don't see me as often - shocker how often are their husbands there?
