Reasons To Be a WAHM

The days when women are relegated to just staying home are long gone. Nowadays, women can choose whether they want to work in an office fulltime, work at home, or stay at home. Although a growing number of mothers are choosing to stay home with their children, these mothers are putting a twist to the more conventional arrangements of years past by choosing to work as well while they are staying home. From the coined term SAHM or stay-at-home-mom, now comes the term WAHM or work-at-home-mom. WAHM refers to mothers who stay at home and keep a job even while staying home. Most of these WAHMs have either stayed on with their employers who allowed them to work from their homes or they found out how to earn money online. No matter how you plan to earn money at home, there are many reasons to be a work-at-home-mom. Below are just some of them. You get to have more time with the kids. images?q=tbn:ANd9GcSiRtfoJLODc8I2xaKlaVa [imonomy - free enrichment tools for your site.] This is often the main reason why most women choose to stay and work at home. Not only will you get to be with your kids while they are at home, you also get to participate in your child's daily activities. This will help you get to know your child well and you become your child's friend, confidante, and authority figure. Working from home allows you to be available for your children anytime they need you. Continue to have a two-income household. No matter how big or small you can earn from working at home, you can still consider your household a two-income household. This simply means that you still get to contribute to the family's financial welfare. Flexible time. When you work at home, you basically have very flexible work hours. Unlike those who go to the office and work from 8 to 5, you get to decide what your work hours are. You can choose to work in two hour shifts or while the older children are in school or just during the night. Save on commuting costs. Commuting to and from the office costs both money and time which you can save by working at home. Save on childcare. Leaving home to go to work means that someone else has to look after your child. If you work at home, you do not have to get someone to look after your child or send your child to daycare. With the high costs of childcare, you will be saving a lot.
