The greatest & Noblest of all professions is that of a Mother! We hold the future in our hands. We build people. It takes an extraordinary Mother to guide their child/children into being whole contributing members of society.

Well my mom worked while I was in school and at home when I was, she didn't believe in baby sitters unless it was a family member watching us. There is nothing wrong with being a working mom as long as the kids get what they need, and being a stay at home mom is fine as well... Depends on the household and what works for them.

I wish I could be a stay at home mom. My kids need more attention than I can give them, but in this day and age you have to have a two income family in order to survive. It really sux but if we wanna eat, then we all have to participate in taking care of our home and family.

To stay home for your children must be the biggest and most noble thing that a mother can ever do. Its good for the children but I don't necessarily agree that it is the best thing for the mother. The mothers brain don't get the same stimulation as it will get by associating with the mothers in the workforce. Don't get me wrong I don't say that they are any less intelligent then the mothers that work but I think that you do need the association of people outside the family circle. Its not a good thing to only communicate with you children, husband and other staying at home mothers. The ideal situation would be if mothers with children can work in the morning and be home in the afternoons when the children are home. Unfortunately that is not always possible.
I don't have anything against working moms either but you will see that sometimes their children will play on their mothers emotion because normally the mother will feel guilty for not being able to do things with the children and will almost always try to fix the problem with money. The children's behavior is also different to the onces that have a staying at home mother.

Alright don't take this the wrong way... But some work at home moms are already trying to please two masters and don't need another one say a boss at work who doesn't understand or care to understand your family obligations. As for interaction with other working moms, stay at home moms that work from home do interact with each other the same way as moms that work together in any work place do just because you don't have the obligation of having to see them face to face every day doesn't mean that it makes it any less fulfilling.
No, I'm not taking it up the wrong way at all. I didn't even think of the mothers that run businesses from home and only when you said this then I remembered about my aunt. She use to run a business from home and she did very well for herself and was there for her children. So you are in the perfect spot. You are working and you are at home with the children. The think I was getting at is the mothers that don't do anything but looking after the children and that to me is very bad. Ive seen suds a lot of divorces because of this. To give an example. "The husband and wife goes to a work function. The wife wants to go home urly because she can't communicate with the other people at the function. Why because they are talking about all kinds of things. Things that happens in the world etc. but she can't talk with and half of the time don't know what they are talking about because there is only one thing she can talk about and that is the children and what the neighbors did."
Being a work at home mom myself I have to say my kids are well taken care of and get plenty of attention, but as others were saying it really isn't good for my mental state to be the only one who ever wants to get the housework done or chase after the kids all day, it sends you into a whole other world of craziness... Hold on my eye is starting to twitch again... Lol no but seriously it is rewarding for both you and your children if you can work and balance your family obligations w/o someone barking orders down your back, because you really are on your own. Just remember BALANCE... And breathe... Hee hee whooooo.... Lol
