Every mother is a working mother, whether it be in and out of the home or just in the home. I wonder if it’s easier to have a set routine if you are a stay-at -home mom, or since life can get so hectic working out of the home is it essential to have that routine down. Either way having a set routine is difficult to figure out. I am trying to get on a regular schedule so my son can begin to learn what to expect as the day goes on. For now I am a stay-at-home mom but I will be having to work part-time soon so I am trying to get him on a schedule that works for him now. But once I return to work somewhere I don’t want his routine messed up. I know children adjust better than we think they do, so I really don’t know what I am worried about. I think it’s more of the fact that I have been fortunate enough to spend all six months of his life with him and I am a little uncomfortable leaving him for long periods of time. My frets are probably just apart of what I call “first time mom syndrome”.

I do, however, what to give a “shout out” to all the out of the home working momma’s because you are giving up time with your children to provide for them and that gets overlooked a lot of times. You some how figure out how to get your son to baseball practice and your daughter to dance in the middle of meeting a deadline for work, and nine times out of ten your children get a home cooked meal and you sit down together to eat. Let’s not forget about the household duties either, clothes are clean and dishes are washed. Just being a mom is a 24/7 job, and it’s the best job a woman could ever have. So whether you have a set routine/schedule or not as long as at the end of the day your children are happy and loved what difference does it make.
