Was your mother a stay-at-home mom, or did she work?

Until after she got divorced.

She stayed home AND worked, she did medical transcribing and jobs for the radio station from home so she could do that while we slept and then teach us in the morning.

My Mom was not stay at home, after I was born she got a job and worked for many years.

She was for about 3 years before my parents broke up.

She's always worked her ass off.

Mine was. She was unable to work, physically.

She definitely was a stay-at-home mom. Never worked outside her home a day in her life.

my mom was in Air force, then worked for govt for 42 yrs... and she put up with a whole lotta shit raising 5 kids due to a dead hubby! what bothers me is that she puts down my sister who is 50yrs old and has always been a stay at home mom--- she'll tell my sis, "just imagine if you had to do ALL that AND work"... but honestly, my mom was the "man" in the family and made the money--- while my sis was the "woman" and raised the kids and house--- until she got married and had her own kids.

Nope. She said she attempted to do the stay at home thing after I was born, but by the time I could walk she went back to work.

My Mom was a teenager when she had me, and ended up working 11-7 in a photo finishing lab (camera film and 8mm video reels--no digital back then!). She would sleep during the day when I was at school and would do her thing as Girl Scout troop leader after school, or whatever needed doing with me.

My mom stayed at home with my two older brothers when they were very young. When my second oldest brother was 4, she went back to work.
