How to Pay yourself as a stay at home mom

 

There is a constant debate as to how much a stay at home mom should be paid for the work they do.

While some feel it’s a personal choice to get off the career ladder and go take care of the home hence the government should not be burdened by whether they get paid or not.

Others feel that the work that they do is a great job so they should be compensated adequately.

Whichever side of the jury you belong to, here is one truth which every one of us must agree to, when a child is well raised, it’s a benefit not only to the parents that raised him but to the whole society.

The society is made up of families because every child comes from a family, so when we put our families first, we ensure that the next generation of children grows up to become responsible adults who are able to contribute to their society.

This is not to say that when you are not staying home to raise your children they will not turn out well.

What we are saying is that if you choose to make that decision to stay home and raise your kids, your career shouldn’t have to suffer because of your choice.

There is one thing I have always believed in, that is the fact that you can make your own way if the circumstances don’t allow you to do what you need to do.

Having a career fulfills a part of you that nothing else could possibly do because it helps you take control of your own destiny.

When you are a stay at home mom, there are so many things you have got to battle with, from finances to self-confidence and sometimes a feeling that perhaps you did not even make the right choice by giving up your career.

What you need to realize is that even though you have made that sacrifice to stay home, you don’t have to throw away your earning ability.

Technology has made it easy to be able to earn an income from home.

This is the reason I am writing this piece today to encourage stay at home moms to stand up and launch a business that can sustain you from home.

The business will support your lifestyle and give you the ability to live the life you want without feeling like you have lost a lot by leaving your Job to stay home.

Your children will be much more thankful if you can prove that you could stay home to take care of their needs and still provide for them.

You are not scrimping and saving just to make it through every month.

I believe that this generation is calling for what Mary Kay Ash did when the corporate world would not allow her rise because she is a woman, she went out and found her own company.

Today we see the results of what she did, she inspired a whole generation of women to do something about their own situation.
