Challenges for working mamas

Yesterday we looked at the pros and cons of being a stay-at-home mama. This is something we've discussed often here, because it's a huge decision and whether you go to work or stay home the right support is key to the success of your final decision. In my opinion ALL mamas are working mamas, but it's also true that work-at-home moms, stay-at-home moms, and mamas who go to work each day all face different challenges. Here are some resources to help with each decision... Resources for work-at-home moms:

• Should stay at home parents have in care help?
• Pros of being a work-at-home mama
• Cons of being a work-at-home mama
• Fun reading & great work-at-home advice
• Free virtual work-at-home mom seminars
• Work-at-home ideas for stay-at-home-moms

Resources for stay-at-home moms:

• Connect with other mamas
• Can you afford to stay home with your baby?
• Financial tips for stay-at-home moms

Resources for moms who work outside of the home:

• Keep breastfeeding when you return to work
• When to keep your baby home from daycare
• How to afford maternity leave
• Find safe childcare for your baby
• Using your sick days for a sick baby

Which mama are you? Right now I'm a work-at-home mama, but I also used to be an in-college-mama, a stay-at-home-mama, a work-out-of-the home-mama, and even a homeschooling-work-at-home-mama - whew! All these choices are challenging.
