a house wife is definitely full time. Even overtime for that matter. i truly admire house wifes because their work is never ending. they work more than 8 hrs a day and dont get paid like they should. i saw a tv show once that said if a house wife was paid by her professions i.e ironing, cook, cleaning, laundry,dish washing, bed making, etc etc. it was said that they would be making over 100,000 dollars a year.
yes it can be full time job
ANYTHING with children is a full time job!!:)
Jesus Christ yes....
Full time job ... even if you had a part time job taking care of your children is definitely a full time job.
yes it is my family take care of foster children
and trust me it is a FULL time job
being a parent is a full time job. 24/7... you're not a parent sometimes only.
I sooo wish I could! And screw what people think - enjoy the fact that you can be there as long as you want he he
i think up to an age yes. but i know some women just don't like to work because they are too lazy, so even when their kids are getting to like 5 when are starting school they won't pick up a job and just find another excuse. but i totally understand when children are younger, it's not as if they can stay at home alone
Stay at home parent is actually worse than a full time job! You don't have 40 hour work weeks or overtime pay! Nor do you get regular "days off". I had to get a full time job just to relax! I have 4 kids a pain in the neck husband and a great dane with separation anxiety!! My form of relaxation? I'm a 9-1-1 dispatcher!!!
It is more than a full time job, it is an all time job, you're constantly on call, it doesn't end. Whoever disagrees has probably never done it before and needs to try it.
ub in the most important job there is. what else does life give. mom is the toughest job there is.
I consider it a highly valued profession...not just a job...
Which would you prefer....raising your kids with your own sense of ideas, values etc. or having someone else instill their thoughts into your kids minds....would you prefer your teaching right/wrong or letting a day care worker or babysitter be the one to decide those things...etc. etc.
I think that to many people don't recognize the value of a mom who stays home to raise her kids....it's not all just about "housekeeping".....
My hats are off to you for doing so....and hope once school starts you'll be able to enjoy your part time work....
Good luck, be happy, and remember those kids appreciate your being around and need you....you're their mom and no one can replace you!
I think you should be able to do whatever the hell you want! if your hubby makes enough money to support you and your family then by all means stay home and take care of your kids! There's too many kids out there getting into trouble because their parents are too busy working to spend time with them.
Of course it's a full time job! Don't feel guilty because I admire women who choose to be with their children rather than working or getting a nanny.
Two kids sounds like cake to those who have no kids. Or those who "work" and feel unnapreciated. Or, myself, for example with one kid and two jobs. You are so lucky to be in a situation where you can be home. You have the choice to take online courses and I envy you this. I tried to return to school last year and almost lost my mind. I do understand. You do plenty as a mom. Don't punish yourself.
Yes I consider it a full time job!!
I am a hosewife and mother and I love my job.. sure i dont get a pay check for it...
but, i reap rewards in other ways
If I went out and got a job in the public ( which I could at anytime, My background is finance) I would have to pay a daycare to watch my daughter all day. monday thru friday. till about 5 or 6pm.. then only have her till about 9 pm awake with me... NO, that is not enough time. to spend with her. so the paycheck i would be making does not outway the time I have with her, nor the daycare cost.. plus my husband works offshore for 14 days gone and then home for 14 days, if I had a job out of the house, I would only be able to see him for 14 days but only at night.. till i had to go to sleep so i could get up and go to work.. NO again, i enjoy having him home for 14 days, night and day..... I dont feel guilty at all, I am doing a very important job, by raising my daughter and not having a day care do it.. I am proud of what I do, and I am molding a little person that will someday contribute to society....
And my husband makes enough money by himself that we dont have to worry about that... I finally had my daughter when I was 34, I was not a young mother, and I am enjoying every single moment I can with her.. and when she starts preschool in the fall, i still will be a housewife and mother, because she will go from 8 - 11A (private school) so it wont be all day.. dont feel guilty, you have the most important job in the world.

Don't feel guilty....you are doing a job. Bringing up children is a full time job and full respect to you! Only people without children will make stupid comments and have irrelevant views.
It seems to take up my wife's time. I don't think I would want to do it.
I stay at home at look after two children, I don't feel guilty as it's a full-time job plus my youngest has cerebral palsy and epilepsy.
my work is my break
It is ABSOLUTELY a Full Time Job.......By all means.....
A a self employed person i can only think that if we had kids at home then my wife would be with them all the time, as far as I am concerned that would be a full time job..
Getting them up for school, dressed, fed and off to school can be a nightmare.. so Yes it is...
