    2 kids ages 12 and 15. I've been a SAHM since April 1997 (end of tax season.) I do work from home doing taxes and financial advising though.

    I have a 10 y/o son and 5 y/o daughter. I became a SAHM when I was pregnant with my daughter.
  • I'm technically not a SAHM as I'm a fur mummy! I have a 10 month old kitten to take care of :)

    2 kiddos. My Daughter just turned 10 in June and my son just turned 6 in April. I have been at home since my daughter was born. I left my job about 10 days before she was born and never went back.

    I love it, but it does get lonely some times. I am a also a military wife so I deal with my husband being gone a lot. He is currently in Korea for one year.

    I stay home with my 3 boys (ages 7, 5 and 2). I left my job just before my oldest was born so almost 8 years ago. When my youngest starts school, I'll be ready to go back to work. There are days I miss it and the people I worked with.
  • I completely Understand that. It definitely can get lonely.

  • Congratulations to all you SAHMs! You are doing the world's most demanding job! The working ladies are great moms, too, the difference is the world recognizes them and tells us, "Oh, you don't work, you just stay at home!" LOL! I am so proud of all of you moms that made a commitment of hard work and sacrifices for your families! Yes, I'm a SAHM of 5. Ages 18 dd, 15ds, 12(almost 13)ds, 10ds and 7(as of today)ds! I'm a homeschool mom, too and I've always been at home so over 18 yrs and I love it! Yes, there can be lonely moments, but look into those little eyes-it is so worth it! And it does get easier when the children get older and you can have great conversations with them!

    I've been a stay at home mom since August 2011. I worked in a funeral home prior to that. We relocated to a different state and I'm now at home with the kiddos. My oldest son will be 6 in Oct. and my baby just turned two last month.

    I'm a SAHM mom to a 2-year-old, full time since March 2012, part time since she was 4 months old. I do miss going to work sometimes, but I love being home with her. I'm planning to start back to school in a few months, so we may have someone come to our house again to stay with her. Feel free to add me, especially if you're an older mom of a little one like I am.

    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 :)

    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.
