[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For moms who just want a little extra money and something to do, I know quite a few who teach preschool (the 9-12 kind) while older kids are in school or substitute teach. They don't make much (probably comparable or less to the yoga post) but I think they find it satisfying to be working in some manner.

I have a decidedly not mom-job, with inflexible and unpredictable hours. Luckily I love my job and my husband has some flexibility![/quote]

This is my opinion of this phrase also. Like, getting a "job", as opposed to a "career". Something that helps with some money on which your family is not dependent, but may be helpful, that has little to no known upward mobility, and that is easy to get out of. So, I used to work part-time, but it was at a career. There was always a path forward. And we depended on the income that I made. Now I work full-time in the same field, based on the experience I still had working part-time. So, I considered it a "mommy track" of a career, and not a "mom job". The job would be something that is only doable totally around the schedule of the primary income and the schedules of the children. Whether or not it is intellectually stimulating is not part of the equation to me, but of course that would be a great opportunity.

My contract position is flexible which is why I thought of it as a good mom job.  It is my own business and I am actually making more money than I did working in a big company.  Flexiblity is key for me.[/quote]
