In this day and age there are many options open to moms but not all of them will fit into their lives. Some mom’s may have partners where others do not. Some may be financially stable and others may be poor. Either way they seem to get a lot of criticism no matter what they choose to do.

For example, take the mom who has to go back to her job out of the home as soon as she possibly can after having a baby. She may be a single mom who is getting no support from the absent father, she has no other option, she will have no money if she doesn’t work. Yet she can be seen as cruel for putting the baby into childcare from a young age.

On the flip side you may have a mom who sits at home all day watching day time television whilst the kids are at school, wanders around in her jogging pants and lets the nanny pick up the kids and the cleaner clean the dishes. People may think she is lazy but in reality her husband is one of the best at making stock trading strategies. She doesn’t technically even need to go to work!

Then you have the moms who create a home income opportunity, they sort of have the best of both worlds. They don’t have to go out to work and often won’t have set hours or shifts. Yet they still work but they work from the family home. However this mom can be criticised for overworking and ignoring the kids even when they’re at home.

So what’s the answer? Which is the right path? Stay in the home, work out of home or work from home? The answer is simple, it doesn’t matter if you can stay at home comfortably, it doesn’t matter if you sit at home and make money online and it doesn’t matter if you go out and provide for your children.

What matters is that you and your child are safe, happy, loved and cared for. Moms get too much criticism these days and only they know how it feels to take these words usually from men or people who have never had children.

Moms need to stand up, don’t let people dictate what is wrong or right for your child. Put down the parenting book and listen to your heart and your head, after all, it’s your baby, you created a life and you’re automatically programmed to know how to look after him or her correctly!
