A Message To The Frugal Stay Home Mom

Thursday, February 3, 2011
So many of us have become used to the ever so busy corporate lifestyle where every second is worth money that we just dont know what to do with ourselves when we have some free time.

As you transition from that lifestyle to the stay home mother who is approaching delivery or has recently delivered and is taking care of her new born you may find your self slowly going crazy being home with really not all that much to do.

Some may get involved with home renovations and preparations for the new baby and some take up some hobbies.Some women find that taking care of their children is enough work as is, and it all depends really.

To those of you who make the decision to retire from the job lifestyle for a while or forever as you raise your children and take care of your family, you may find that living on one income difficult. Many women are committed to staying home and refuse to return to the hell of a regular J.O.B. which I personally think is a smart decision but still may cost you money.

So on one income you try to downsize your home, car, spending habits, and perhaps even deny yourselves the little things that used to make you happy and try to find ways to save money.

I will not talk about the endless controversy of the stay home parent and the delusion that has sadly become an epidemic that sees the stay home parent as poor bum who is not a functional part of society and ultimately an unfortunate individual.

This topic always has, and always will spark a fire in me and in many, I am sure. After all I would like to see more than 20% of people who state without a doubt that they love their job including the boss, working hours, and traffic to get back and forth from work and that they would not change a single thing about it.

Sorry, back to mothers as they shift to staying home whether on a temporary or permanent level. Here is some Unique advice you may find trouble accepting intially; Dont Get too overwhelmed, and by that I mean think outside the box.
