Are most Frisco moms SAHM?

I work from home, so I'm kinda a SAHM, but my kids are out of the house...Now, if you need a drinking buddy, I'm totally there for you

My ex was a SAHM until our kids were both well into elementary school. When I asked her to get a job to help with expenses, she said she "needed a few years off". She spent the first year off going to the gym every day to meet her new boyfriend while I worked my arse off. So, I gave her as many years off as she wants, we're divorced now. She can find someone else to fund her gravy train.

Yeah, there is such a thing as having too much time on your hands! Unfortunately, there's quite a bit of that type stuff going on.

My kids are older. I would feel bad sitting at home and spending all my dh's $$$. I also have a Master's degree so it's worthwhile to work for me, plus it gives me my "own" money which is important to me. I can totally understand when you have toddlers....it's hard to juggle everything and being a Mom is a full-time job in itself.

I stayed at home for a while and now that they are in school I work part time. DH travel schedule is unpredictable so I have to be the one to get the kids from school and take them to activities. I don't think my kids could do any after school activities if I had to work until 5 or 6 every night.

I don't know how full- time working moms do it. I only work a little and I barely have time to breathe with all of the laundry, errands, cooking, cleaning the entire house (no maid here), and taking the kids to their activities. I definitely do not have time or energy to get a boyfriend on the side. I would never do that to my wonderful hubby anyway.

Was a SAHM that did work a few days a month after the birth of my first child until I got divorced 8yrs. later. Now I kinda have a full time/SAHM. I work all my hours in the 7 days the kids are with their father and then I am off the 7 days they are with me. I do occasionally work extra during the school year when they are with me.

Now granted when I'm off those 7 days, I am playing massive catch up as I pretty much live at work the other 7 days, so absolutely nothing gets done at home. And I have full responsibility for my home since I'm a single mom.

Busy life, so I actually rarely get with other mom's. Did more of that when I was married, but because I have a very abnormal schedule now, things have pretty much changed.

I do miss going out with fellow moms/ladies....
