Ok wow super behind on the thread but I did want to defend that if you have an actual work from home job (not YT), then you should NOT have your children at home with you. There is no way you can give your full attention to your job 40+ hours a week at home with toddlers running around and not be neglecting them or neglecting your work.
Most legitimate work from home jobs would be pissed if they found out you did not have childcare during work hours.
I agree - that was my point. Bri has been shown to be SUPER GREEDY trying to do 3 things at once - claim to be a stay at home mom (a full time job), a career woman (a full time job), and a YouTube star (a full time job). You can do 2 if you work 16 hours a day at it, but if you try to do all 3 you are really stealing time from one or both of the other two. Moms like Myka and Tiff are only trying to do 2 (SAHM & YTS).
I am not knocking any other woman and her choices, but when I had our two girls my husband's income allowed us to live modestly so I took off about 8 years to be a SAHM until both of our girls had entered kindergarten. At that point I went back to work to help our family out with upcoming financial obstacles like college tuition. For a single mom who is struggling to make ends meet with no husband to share the burden, I completely understand having to work during the day and arrange some type of care for the kids. But I DO NO UNDERSTAND why when both parents individually make a good income, one of them does not decide to stay home during the crucial years of 0 to 5. Is it more important to have a 5000+ sf house, 2+ high end cars, multiple $$$ vacations a year, ... than to have one of the parents raise the young child full time? What is more important to these parents - more stuff??? Why do they have children in the first place - is it one more "thing" to check off a list? This is what irritates me with people like Bri - Adam appears to make a decent salary where they could live comfortably on his paycheck alone, why can't she just take a few years off and enjoy the kids? She will have the rest of her life to pursue other interests. Your children are only young once for a relatively short amount of time. In the end her GG will have spent more time with the kids than she has (maybe that was her case with her own mother and GG???). Bri and Adam will get what they deserve when L and P become teenagers (and maybe a few other kids if they are stupid enough to have more).
DS, you say you’re not knocking other women for their choices, then proceed to go on line after line, knocking us for our choices. You may have dressed as a Mommy for career day, but I did not. I provide for my family... because of my job, we have health, dental and vision insurance. We take family vacations. My child has shelves of books and can participate in enrichment programs that cost money. Yes, we could have a smaller house and drive cheaper cars if I stayed home with him, but keeping him home with me until kindergarten will only stunt his social and emotional development.
Many women feel it is important for our children to see us work, have a professional identity, and provide for our family. My son does not suffer one ounce by going to preschool, and he benefited from the sitter he had before that. Your way is not the only right way. Save your judgment for your Facebook moms group.
