What is the best job for a woman?
Can we really have it all...a career, a great life, and parenthood? Can parents afford to raise a child on a single income? How new parents can decide whether to work or stay at home with their children.
Kristi Tamsivicius, author of The Love My Life: A Mom's Guide to Work from Home, says the answer has never been clearer. Since September 11, 2001, people have gone back to basics. Frustrated with today's work environments, people are eager to spend more time at home with their families. This desire has led millions of parents to say "goodbye" to corporate America and "hello" to working from home.
One of the hardest decisions to make is staying home with the kids or going back to work. Financially speaking, it can be difficult to transition to living on a single income. Additionally, women often wonder if they are sacrificing their jobs by choosing to stay home.
New parents are overwhelmed with baby-related expenses, including baby gear, clothes, diapers, and medical bills. In fact, according to the USDA, the cost of raising a child from birth to two years is $13,400 per year. So how can families reduce their expenses, live on less income, and bear these additional costs?
There is a common myth that if both parents work, there will be more income!.
But this is not always the case. If you add up the numbers, you're often not getting ahead financially by working and paying for daycare.
When you subtract childcare costs, car costs, dry cleaning, and other work-related expenses, many find that they don't earn much from working outside the home.
The truth is that we fall into the trap of thinking that we need two incomes to survive. Whether it's keeping up with neighbors or buying high-tech games, it seems that when you earn more, you spend more. When our income increases, we raise our standard of living instead of caring for it.
The double pressure of working parents can put a strain on the family. Working mothers sometimes feel guilty for wanting to work away from home. Then there is the issue of balance. It can be difficult to balance the pressures of work and home. Trying to make sure meals are prepared, clean the house, and pay bills between the kids' tour and football.
We need to ask ourselves what we are teaching our children through our busy lifestyles.
Do we teach our children that this rhythm of life is natural and desirable?
Will the nursery provide education like you?
No one will love and teach your children like you do. The nursery will take care of your child's physical needs, but is it teaching your children the values and lessons you want? In situations like a nursery bully or a fight overplay, does the child care provider shape your child's personality the same way you do?
Babies get great benefits when mothers stay at home. Mothers can provide loving care. They are there to discipline and teach good behavior. While having fun, mothers can develop a lasting relationships with their children. This bond creates a stronger sense of security and well-being in the child.
Children also have other benefits. Mothers can provide a more varied diet and better nutrition. Babies receive more mental stimulation when someone shares time with their mother.
How can mothers learn to live with less and stay at home with children?
Working from home can help parents have the best of both worlds:
Precious family time and extra income.
Statistics show that workers today are eager to say “goodbye” to company life and say “hello” to the fun of working from home. Working from home offers a variety of benefits including being your own boss, flexibility, the ultimate office space, freedom from travel, increased control, family time, and the joy of designing your work and life.
Entrepreneurship provides excitement, motivation, challenge, and a powerful new reality driven by choice. It gives an option for single parents and families with family and work problems. Parents are allowed to skip the 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. routine and stay home with the kids.
It provides a new opportunity for people who have been dismissed or dismissed from the corporate system. It provides a new income opportunity for people who cannot live on retirement money alone.
Jobs from home provide income for people with disabilities who find it challenging to find work in the traditional workplace.
So realize that as a parent, you no longer have to decide whether to work or stay at home, you can have both: a career and time with your kids.
