Are You Still a Stay at Home Mom if You Work Outside the Home at Night?

Sometimes money issues get in the way of being a strict stay at home mom. You have to find ways to bring in more money. Sometimes that means taking on a job outside the home while your husband is home with the kids in the evenings.

Does that make you any less of a stay at home mom?

It can make you feel that way, even if you’re there for all the time the kids are up. After all, you have less energy for them during the day, not to mention less time for your marriage. It’s a rough way to live.

To me, a lot of being a stay at home mom is in your intent, as well as what you do. If you’re there when your kids are at home and awake, you’re enough of a stay at home mom for what your family needs.

You do, of course, have to think through the consequences of what you’re doing. Even part time work at the times your kids don’t need you can add to the strain of your day, even if it also gives you a needed break outside the home or the money you need to keep your family going.
