Being a mom is what I always wanted to be. I had no career aspirations; I wanted my children, my family, to be my “job.”
I started out getting my wish and was a stay-at-home mom for 10 years. I had no idea how hard that was going to be. The isolation, the constant need for my attention. I also had no idea it would take its toll on the relationship with my husband.
Of course, the economy crashing, didn’t help things and the stress from it all was overwhelming. At the time, even though I was choosing to stay home with my kids I still wanted to contribute financially and taught piano lessons, found ways to earn money online and started a travel agency business.
Juggling work and home WHEN you work from home is a WHOLE other ballgame...
