I...Great guest post!! I love Elizabeth's blog!<br /><br />I am not a mom yet, but I have no doubt that being a SAHM is one of the most difficult jobs that one can have! Personally, I'm going to have to work when I'm a mother because leaving my job would cut our income in half, so it will be interesting to see how I can juggle the two.Salthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03040383509137140216noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-702507648287068273.post-10331876319195576152010-04-12T07:38:55.908-04:002010-04-12T07:38:55.908-04:00I hate when people say that they don't have an...I hate when people say that they don't have any time.

If you haven'...Definitely an interesting debate. If you haven't read it, I recommend the book Mommy Wars: Stay-at-Home and Career Moms Face Off. There are some really great essays in there on the topic. <br /><br />As for me, I just quit my job yesterday. I've been working from home for the past 5 months (my daughter is 8 months), which like B said, feels like you're playing both roles at the same time and is really not as great as it sounds once Hannah slowed up on the nursing and didn't need me as much. I was going to go back into the office 2 1/2 days a week and thought that sounded great, but since I've always hated my job anyway, I just quit. WHEW! What a relief!!! I'm going to try the SAHM thing for a bit and then try to pick up some freelancing work when I get bored. <br /><br />Great guest post!terrihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12751280167534440357noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-702507648287068273.post-72386409347652210332010-04-09T11:11:56.900-04:002010-04-09T11:11:56.900-04:00what a great guest post.

Daycare is so expensive, it's a lose-lose situation. I was so desperate to figure out a way for us to afford having a child while we both worked that I thought about adoption. In NJ, if you adopt a baby or small child, they provide daycare until the child is six at a Dyfus-approved daycare center. My husband said no :(Allyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06076912971009055017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-702507648287068273.post-51501508102517602742010-04-09T08:44:17.671-04:002010-04-09T08:44:17.671-04:00D'OH am already following.

That was 28 years ago, and I really do hope that times have changed and we are beyond that!!!<br /><br />I never knew you worked at an adoption agency-- that's one of my dream jobs, as advocating for adoption is one of my passions!<br /><br />~ElizabethConfessions From A Work-At-Home Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17537552947779004296noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-702507648287068273.post-84370231456710488162010-04-09T07:35:48.151-04:002010-04-09T07:35:48.151-04:00I always find this debate interesting as well!

Being a working mom that takes her baby to work sounds like a dream (and 95% of the time, it is!), but sometimes I feel like I'm playing both roles at the same time!<br /><br />On a sidenote, I used to work at an adoption agency, and while I can only speak for Texas, it is not commonplace to require a parent to be home to adopt!Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18367847227787762246noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-702507648287068273.post-37445608034071089322010-04-09T07:06:15.545-04:002010-04-09T07:06:15.545-04:00Nice "guest" post...
