[quote=Anonymous]I have been a working mom. but I've also stayed at home after losing a job -- ok after different layoffs. My kids are now nearly 10 and 13. The times I wasn't working I was definitely depressed and feeling desperate. We don;t make much but thanks to family are in a financially secure position so it was never about the money. I am so grateful I landed my current job at 45 after a year of not working. My happiness is back. My sense of purpose. My self care and looks are back. My kids see me more confident and busy working on a job I care about. THey are great kids and I love spending nearly all my free time with them. When they were young, it was sometimes tough to balance work and family -- I had my mom's help at times and also daycare and a supportive husband. But working in my experience has been much better than staying at home. [/quote]
