    I am a SAHM with a 15yr old Daughter and twin 12 yr old boys. I also have 3 dogs, a cat and a Hubby. Down right farm here. It is so hard for me to get any type of workouts in during the summer time. I am up so late with the kids and can't get up before them to workout. It seems I am alway on the go. I do part time cleaning 2 to 5 times a month. I need some me time. LOL. But being on here making new friends is really starting to help me. I seem to be on MFP more and more reading things and having friends to motivate me.

    I am a SAHM of 4. My daughter is 17 and 3 boys 15, 13, and 10. I've been home for about 4yrs now. I am also doing the homeschool thing starting next month for my youngest. He has some challenges academically and has a really really hard time in school. Thought it would be in his best interest to just bring him home and work with him one on one and take all the pressure off :)

    I am a SAHM to 4. I became a SAHM when my 2nd daughter was born in 2003. So I have been home for almost 10 years in August. Wow! Time Flies! :) My children are 17, 14, 8 (9 in August) and 7 (2 days ago). :)

    Official SAHM since Nov 2010, daughter is 4 and son just turned 3. It does get a little lonely and boring at times but I love spending the time with my kids, wouldn't dream about going back to work until they are in school full time. However, we are trying for a 3rd =)

    Any other SAHM moms and/or those trying to concieve...add me if you like =) Could always use more friends in similar situations for support, motivation, etc.

    I am a stay at home mom. I have 2 wonderful kids. My daughter just turned 15 last month and my baby boy is 17 months. I started staying home in July 2010. I do some side stuff to make money from home on the internet. Other than that I love being home with my kids. They are my world.

    WAHM of four: 6, 4, 3, 1. I run two businesses from my living room/chaos room. lol Decided I would stay home when I was pregnant with our first. I think SAHM's are awesome and WAHM's are still a little misunderstood. I get asked to babysit a lot. Not going to happen! lol

    As an at home mom I have a tougher time with food. Anyone else?

    Yep, me! I have 2 boys ages 8 & 12. I have been at home since summer of 2008. I think we should get paid for the work involved!

    I've been a SAHM since my 6 month old son was born. I probably will stay one until all my future kids are school age. I do a little furniture flipping on the side for some extra money, when I feel like it. :)

    Staying a home has been the absolute BEST thing for me as far as eating healthier, does anyone else feel the same way? When I worked, I could NOT stay away from those delicious (AWFUL!) lunches the drug reps brought in, and I always had seconds. Now that I SAH, I find it so easy to stick to my calorie limit, plan my meals, and drink all the water I want, without having to excuse myself from my work to go pee.

    I'm a sahm & auntie. My daughter is 12 yo. My great-nephew is 13 mos & also take care of a 17 yo niece. I was let go of my job of 3 yrs in Feb, which was really hard on me. But I'm really enjoying taking care of my nephew fulltime right now so I'm not in s hurry to get back to work. Which I need to do soon so I can pay off college loans.
