Thanks!

Thanks for this forum, I think we will all learn a lot from each other. I totally agree with the idea experssed in the sticky 'a word about working moms' - I don't think we need to change any name, just agree that this is what this forum is about...

I think what we have in common is the responsabilities besides mothering, wheather we are paid or study or have our own buisness... I realize there are different challenges, but as I said, I am sure we can all learn a lot from each other while having a place where some specific issues of the multiple responsabilities are discussed.

So, for all of us!

(with NO detriment to SAHMs!!! Of course! )

I love this forum just the way it is. I don't post terribly much these days, but I feel at home here. I am a WOHM and value the insights from both other WOHMs and WAHMs. Of course, I value SAHMs too! But it is somehow so comforting to know that there are others out there who are working hard to AP and bring home the bacon and struggling to seek balance between the two.

I have a name suggestion, if it's not too late:

Second Job

although that might be misleading, it's short and does infer that momma'ing is a primary job. it would also include mom's who have other work that may not be monitarily compensated. for instance, i'm thinking of starting a non-profit and it won't be making any sort of money for a while, but it'd definately be a 2nd job. Or someone who volunteers their time and it seems like a 2nd job. I think anything that takes you away from your kids or that you need to do that doesn't involve your regular mama duties could be likewise supported by working mamas. and by need i mean either the need for money or the need for another outlet, including continuing education.
