Introduction from a Stay-at-Home-Mom

Mother | SAHM | work at home

I confess, I am a 47 year old woman, mother of 4, who has been a stay at home mom for 30 years. To say I do not work is ridiculous. Some people are under the impression that I sit on the couch, watching television and eating chocolates all day long. I wish!

Actually, I do have some job experience. Hands on so to speak. I am a cook, baker, housekeeper, accountant, taxi driver, seamstress, nurse, dog walker, babysitter, painter, plumber, interior decorator, gardener, mechanic, problem solver, tutor, and I clean windows too.

Sure the work is hard at times, the money lousy, but the satisfaction of a job well done, is worth its weight in gold. My job as a stay at home mom is now winding down. I am hoping to share my experiences with you through my blogs. Some will make you laugh and some will make you cry. In return, I only ask that you share some of your experiences with me.

Great story

I worked in helping so many women who were returning to the paid workforce after hears as a stay at home mum - their work experience like yours is impressive. There should be more of it - but somehow we need to ensure that stay at home mums actually receive some pay for their efforts.
