Does any SAHM worry that should you need to be back to workforce few years later, companies might not want to consider you due to being away from the working society and they will have doubts if you can adapt to the working life? I encountered comments from my ex-colleagues and hiring mangers previously when they are such candidates applied for the roles. I am currently a SAHM but one to two weekdays, my girl will be taken care by myself and on the rest of the day except weekends she will go to my MIL house as I will need to do mopping, cleaning/vacuum of bed, wash bedsheets and spending time on my online shop(she will scream or cried when I am away to do these housework and dangerous for her to walk ard while I mop). Being a SAHM allows me to better concentrate on playing and teaching my girl but I am starting to worry that I might have difficulty finding a job which I starts to see it happening now. Previously when I got to work, I only had 15 to 30 mins to spend with my girl and sometimes I was to tired to even talk to her. Even when I worked, money earned was not enough for me to hire a helper and we will end up with no savings. Much worst of than I am a SAHM. Any regrets on being a SAHM??

I have never regretted being a SAHM. At times i do share the same concerns as you as well. Then again, i try to look for something adhoc or even parttime or voluntary work in order to keep myself updated with society and also for my resume if i do decide to go back to work. Afterall, i cant predict the future. Thats my stance. So honestly, yes money is important and a need. However is it worth it to be throwing all your time, energy etc for a job. I shall not say career. If you have such a mindset, if i understand you right you are concerned about the kids more then the job. Being a SAHM is a job too, a paidless and yet rewarding job. You can have both at the same time, look for part time, adhoc, freelance or contract basis jobs. Even giving tuition. There must be some sacrifices made, slowly blend the side income/kids together. Even if it is full time, what about food, transport, after deduction of bills is there anything left to comfort you and your kid? I would ask myself is it worth it? To each its own, for me its not worth it. A job can always be found, my child once they grow the years pass, i cant change or turn back time. If you have anything else which is bothering you, ill be here to give you some support! Best wishes and blessings, my thoughts are with you.
