Working mom
I have to go back to work next week. Although I’m extremely sad about this time coming to an end and I do have the option to be a sahm, I know that I want to give my baby a fun life filled with more vacations and experiences than I had growing up. I keep seeing posts from moms wishing they could be a sahm or making massive sacrifices in order to live off one income and be a sahm.
Please share your stories of why you choose to work rather than be a sahm. I feel in my heart that this is right and this is the selfless thing to do but I just need some encouragement.
*edit - her grandmas will be babysitting so she will still have full attention 24/7 and sooo much love.

You had me at grandmas. ❤️
I like being able to continue developing myself professionally while still being a kick ass mom!
My husband and I both work but I am the primary breadwinner for our family so we wouldn’t be able to really afford it if I stopped working. I also work from home with some travel here and there, which is why I am going to continue to work given it’s a pretty flexible schedule. My boss is the best as well and has already expressed that he wants to work with me and what’s best for my family because he really wants me to come back. If I didn’t have that support from him, I would consider being a SAHM. For now, I go back next week too and will see how it goes!
I'm stopping for 3 years to be a SAHM. My husband and I both have demanding jobs and I had a SAHM who spent my whole childhood telling me it was the greatest sacrifice. We are fortunate enough to not be sacraficing much monetarily as me being home allows my hubby to take a different role. These first years what's important is the bonds, the love, and the shaping of baby, he'll have insane travels but won't remember them until he is 6. But this time will shape him forever.
