Stay At Home Mom
Being a stay at home Mom is a luxury that few women experience these days. Due to the rising costs of everything, especially diapers, it is rare to find stay at home Moms these days. However they do exist because I was one of them! Staying home has its disadvantages and advantages. However the real winners are your children and you will gain the rewards of your hard labor as they grow and look after you.
Being a stay at home Mom is the toughest job you will ever love. Most women will agree that it is harder than most outside jobs, because you are literally at it from the time you get up to the time you go to bed, and even beyond that. If your children are preschool age your job of being a mother is at its toughest as you are literally on the job around the clock. The only time you really get rest is when they are sleeping, playing or perhaps watching TV and playing video games.
It is wonderful to have a little relaxation but very important not to let your children spend too many hours playing video games and watching TV. All children need some exercise during the day, to maintain good health. If necessary take some time out of your busy schedule to go with them outside and do some activities with them. Small children can get quite a bit of exercise at the local park. This also gives you a break from the house as well.
When you are at home, surrounded by kids all day and everyday, it is most important that you look after yourself as well. You should maintain your physical health, as being a homemaker is very strenuous and takes quite a bit out of you. Try to eat a healthy nutritious diet. Remember if you have good eating habits your kids will pick up those same habits from you.
You should also keep up your mental abilities. It is very easy to let yourself go, when you are with your children day in and day out. Try to grab some time to read or if you have no time you can get an Ipod and listen to books of your choice as you do your errands. This will keep your mind active and will allow you to think of things other than just the kids and home. If you keep mentally alert you will be able to work more efficiently and be more interesting to talk to.
There are many more advantages than disadvantages to staying home with your kids. Your kids will feel more secure and know there is always somebody there for them. It is easier to stay close to your kids and when they grow up they will be more inclined to look after you in your time of need. So do not let anybody tell you that staying home with your kids is "just being a housewife" because you can prove them wrong and have great kids to show for it.
