7 Signs You Should Be Stay-At-Home, Working Mom

For some women, getting married would mean a career shift. Whether she follows her husband moving to another city or wanting a baby.

But what if building a career in the corporate world is no longer the answer for you because kids need your presence? How will you decide between kids and careers?

Well, here are seven clues that you should work from home:

1. You love your kids

You feel how hard it is to carry a baby for 9 months.

When your baby is born, you see a miraculous moment. You saw a mini you.

You start thinking about giving all the best for your little one. You want to give the best love you can ever give. You want to provide all the best things in the world.

You want them to become better than you.

You feel responsible for their new world.

You want to protect them. You want to provide them with the best food, the best clothes, and the best house.

You are unwilling to lose them from your sight. You are unable to go far from them. You always want to be on their side.

2. You refuse to stop being productive

Choosing between kids and a career is a difficult decision. I was there, too.

I was used to being busy before I had children. And when it comes to starting parenting, life goes slower.

I have more breaks while maintaining housework and raising kids. And I spend that time watching videos on social media, playing video games, and reading articles. I am a total consumer of the internet.

I felt like a loser.

Now, I understand why many people underestimate the stay-at-home mom title. It is because we consume more than we can produce.

I want to prove to people that they are wrong.

Stay-at-home moms are a source of abundance for content.

We raise our kids = content

We teach our kids = content

We do laundry = content

We wash dishes = content

We cook food = content

We take care of husband = content

Mostly, everything we do daily at home is content.

It may seem boring to us. But for new moms, it can be something overwhelming. We can help them to ease their burden. It can be a new lesson for them.

Stop being a loyal content consumer and start producing your content for newcomer moms. Let them know how you organize your life. You can write, make a podcast, or create videos.

3. You are desperate to build your own business

Another sign you might consider is wanting to own a business.

You keep saying like this:

“I want to create my own business but never start one.

My office work keeps pressing me to work overtime. I fail to add more activities to my life.

I go outside and envy those married women who have their products and services. I wonder why I am unable to make one.”

Sounds like you?

Maybe this is the right time for you to make it real. But before that, it is a good idea to prepare for it first.

4. You have a great support system

Having the best support system in your life is the real key to success in your stay-at-home career.

The first supporter of working from home is your partner or husband.

Having a supportive husband who encourages you to build your career at home is invaluable.

If you want to start your career from home, tell him first. Give him evidence that you can handle both your job and your kids.

A true gentleman will set you free.

5. You desire to earn your income

Your husband gives you money. But you feel responsible for using it for your family.

You only use money from your husband for groceries and bills.

Deep in your heart, you want to buy a pretty dress, good-quality skincare and make-up, wedges, a salon once a month, a gym membership, etc. Women always want to buy and try stuff.

While you have many things you want, you think it will be satisfying to use your own money. That is why every time you receive money from your husband, it is not as satisfying as when you can earn it yourself.

The money you’ve got from your hard work is more valuable to you.

6. You doubt the Integrity of a Babysitter

News of a babysitter hitting a baby while parents were busy with their work is well-known on the internet. That hurt-feeling story is enough for a mom to think thousands before she decides to hand her baby over to someone else. We never knew what would happen.

And you can’t judge how an outsider will respond to your baby’s active mode while playing. Even those polite, kind-hearted babysitters upfront can act wild.

With your absence in the house, who will help your children?

CCTV?

It can be covered, deleted, and manipulated.

So, you say a big no to hire a nanny and choose to stay-at-home raising kids.

7. You are a well-organized person

There are so many things to do on daily tasks. You can handle all of them one by one.

You never skip what you have to do in a day. You never neglect housework. You tackle small tasks without letting them become overwhelming. Instead, you ask your husband for help.

You know what your schedule looks like. You make time for each to-do list.
