I am a SAHM to my 2.5 y/o DD, and really love it. Â Right now I nanny for one other child part-time because we need the money while my husband is in grad school. Â We plan on homeschooling, and don't anticipate me needing to work once he finishes up school in a year. Â But, I can't help being a bit worried about not having a job just in case something were to happen and I needed income right away. Â Also, DD will be an only child and I am only in my late 20's, so I will have plenty of time to have a career when she grows up, which I would like to do. Â So I wonder if I should be doing something to have on my resume and to build my skills for when that day comes. Â
Â
It seems wonderful to me to be able to stay home and homeschool my one child, while taking care of the house, gardening, and pursuing some of my many interests. Â I'm just wondering if this would be the smartest route to take, since it wouldn't give us much security for the future. Â Does this seem like a valid concern? Â I think if I do decide to go work, I will find something flexible that would work with homeschooling as well, but in my mind it would be preferable to not have to try to juggle both if I didn't need to.
Â
Sorry I'm kind of rambling here, I hope that all made sense.
