I know that I have spoken with many women that wish they could do what I do, but being a stay at home mother is something that I love doing and I am blessed that I am able to have the opportunity to do so considering the world we live in now. Most mothers I know have to juggle work in an office setting alongside mothering duties and it can really be difficult to juggle such large duties. What I love about being a stay at home mother is that I get to see my kids grow up and learn in every way, without having to hear about their growth second-hand from teachers and babysitters.
Being able to stay at home for many people simply is not in the cards for most families, and for many people it is considered a luxury. In other perspectives that I have also heard, being a stay at home mother gets negative connotations from some people that think it is not a real job, so therefore no real stress. This is an absolute lie and that is why I am making it known to as many people as I can the downsides to being a mother at home as well as the benefits. My goal is to dispel any rumors and give more insight into this life as a stay at home mother that many people have failed to see.
Always at Home
Since stay at home moms are usually always at home, this is the first real benefit as you can check up on your kids and don’t have to worry about them in school stuck in a class or environment they may not agree with. What most stay at home mothers love about being there for their kids all the time is that they are always aware of their child’s well-being, but one of the negatives that some offer up is that it can be a bit like feeling entrapped in that you have to sometimes fight just to have a few moments to yourself. It is important to have time alone to yourself as a mother, and that means getting adequate sleep, maintaining a healthy eating regimen, and just learning how to relax and reduce stress.
No Alone Time
You will always have your kids around and they won’t suffer from separation anxiety that affects many kids that go off to school each day. When you are there for everything, you get to hear their first words, witness their first steps, and kiss their first burned knee. On the flip side, you may find it hard to even get to the bathroom alone as the kids are going to constantly be a presence. In order to balance this time, you will have to learn how to set boundaries and establish limits. For many parents, being able to raise their own kids from the beginning until they reach adulthood is worth the sacrifices they may have to make over the years in order to know that their children are raised with love and a sense of security around them.
