Why Stay-at-Home Mom Should be A Priority

Just because we stay-at-home mom doesn’t mean we have no skills. We just love our baby more than a job. We want to work but need to stay close from our love one.

I will not talk about women in equality. All women need to be praised as special humans in any circumstances, more than a man. We faced a lot of conditions where we should choose wisely about anything in life. Including choosing between a carrier or giving birth.

What I’ve learned in our society

I saw a lot of children near my house who were cared for by someone else not their parents. Both of his/her mom and dad are great workers with a good position in their field. They have a car and financially afforded. But, I feel ashamed as I saw their child abandoned.

That is the heavy responsibility to take on anyone’s shoulder. You must choose priority between working and your child. Just if all this monetary system doesn’t exist, I believe that every parent could give their most time for their child. That’s why I quit my official carrier to work remotely from home and spend more time with my son.

Why a stay-at-home mom decided to work from home

At first, it sounds fantastic to work from home while taking care of your family and watch every path of your kids milestones. But hold on, the story is not always great as it sounds. In fact it’s more challenging than I ever thought.

As a mom who only takes care of the household and child, I do have plenty of unproductive time. Sometimes I do procrastinate because there is nothing to challenge myself anymore. I even ever let my household work mountains for a day and live with a mess.

It brings me into an unstable mood. I don’t like to see clutter but I lack motivation to do so. A messy house really brings all of the inhabitants to a bad emotion. It then brought us to a fight between husband and wife, easily angry with the child and nothing seems to go well. Moreover financially we only have one hole for the fresh green.

I then headed up to the internet and landed on two platforms for freelancers. I have graduated from university so I have a base to start offering my service. I struggled for a month to set up the profile, learn to write a good proposal and to be familiar with the platform. After that I got my first client, a quick project but it helps to start my journey with a good review.

That’s how as a stay-at-home mom, I decided to work from home. I get more challenges, not just to make money but also to stay productive. The less time I have to do my household work the bigger willing I have to do it quickly without standing still in procrastination.

A stay-at-home mom more cares about their kids growth

Can you flashback your childhood? What Does it look like? I believe all of us have different memories about childhood with their mom. If you spend more time with your mom then congratulations because your mom cares about you. If not, then no worries because your mom still cares about you in different ways.

All moms should care for their kids but a loud clap should be given to them who sacrifice their time to stay-at-home and spend more time with their family. Why should it go to stay-at-home mom? Because through mom who stay-at-home you got better character and personality than they are who did not get it.

They educate you better in a warm way. You are a lucky person if you succeed in a good way. You can’t pay back what mom has done to you but you can help other moms by giving them a priority so their life could be easier. If you are able to do that it means that you are also respecting your mom.

We also can done the remote jobs excellently

It’s much better if we can finish the job while still in pajamas and not rush to make up for a proper appeal to go to the office. It’s just such a time saver for both parties, I mean company and the moms itself. This way is more effective than the traditional one. Unless the job should be done in person appearance, then there are a lot of single women who can fill this role.

Every mom has a different background of different skills. Since the internet existed in this era, I believe there are lots of jobs that can be done from home. The challenge given to stay-at-home mom will not only help a mom to stay productive but also stabilize their financial, mental and roles as mom for their kiddos. That’s why stay-at-home mom should be a priority.
