Most parents realize how much their kids need them however because of the nature of what they do, sometimes there isn’t any time to be with them. What really goes in the mind of parents, especially Moms? For one thing, the bills always come first in the list of things parents think about. Nobody can blame them, because if they don’t pay the school fees, electricity bills, water bills and other important stuff, everything will just fall apart. It doesn’t end there; Moms are usually more sensitive about the needs of their kids than Fathers are. When they see their child every day, they try to imagine what kind of person they will grow up into.

 7  Things  Stay  at  Home  Moms  should  be  doing    The  world  of  any  Mom  on  this  planet  is  usually  the  most  challenging  yet  rewarding  and  exciting  experience  that  can’t  be  exchanged  for  anything.  Having  children  and  being  responsible  for  their  upbringing  does  require  a  lot  of  time  and  attention.  Most  parents  realize  how  much  their  kids  need  them  however  because  of  the  nature  of  what  they  do,  sometimes  there  isn’t  any  time  to  be  with  them.  What  really  goes  in  the  mind  of  parents,  especially  Moms?      For  one  thing,  the  bills  always  come  first  in  the  list  of  things  parents  think  about.  Nobody  can  blame  them,  because  if  they  don’t  pay  the  school  fees,  electricity  bills,  water  bills  and  other  important  stuff,  everything  will  just  fall  apart.  It  doesn’t  end  there;  Moms  are  usually  more  sensitive  about  the  needs  of  their  kids  than  Fathers  are.  When  they  see  their  child  every  day,  they  try  to  imagine  what  kind  of  person  they  will  grow  up  into.  Of  course  every  parent  wants  their  children  to  have  a  good  life  but  in  the  minds  of  Moms,  they  take  it  further.  They  are  so  drawn  to  their  kids  having  carried  them  for  9  months  that  the  only  thing  they  want  for  them  is  the  best.      There  are  two  types  of  stay  at  home  moms  that  will  be  discussed  in  this  article.  Firstly,  you  have  those  Mothers  who  are  married  while  secondly;  you  have  those  Mothers  who  are  single.  This  article  will  briefly  discuss  both  and  then  give  7  things  they  should  be  doing  which  would  make  them  a  better  person  in  dealing  with  challenges  related  to  personal  life  and  work.  These  are  just  suggestions  and  they  are  not  meant  to  take  anything  away  from  you.  But  lets  first  analyze  the  world  of  both  a  single  and  married  stay  at  home  mom.      

Married  stay  at  Home  Mom    When  a  woman  decides  to  walk  down  the  aisle  with  the  man  of  her  dreams,  she  certainly  took  a  lot  of  time  deciding  whom  she  wanted  to  be  with  for  the  rest  of  her  life  right?  But  after  the  wedding,  and  after  having  a  few  children  it  is  common  for  newly  weds  to  have  a  series  of  discussions.  In  those  discussions,  it  becomes  obvious  for  the  Mother  to  stay  at  home  looking  after  the  kids.  Sometimes  she  may  want  to  work  or  she  may  even  have  the  right  qualifications  to  do  any  Job,  but  after  the  married  couple  seats  down  they  decide  that  the  woman  should  remain  home  looking  after  the  kids.  Good  or  Bad  decision?  Well  a  lot  of  things  do  change  drastically  for  this  kind  of  Mom.    For  example,  if  this  Mom  was  once  upon  a  time  a  ‘party  girl’  or  a  ‘career  lady’  and  then  the  kids  appeared  all  of  a  sudden,  it  becomes  obvious  that  working  and  changing  dippers  all  at  the  same  time  just  cant  work.  Most  Moms  find  it  easy  to  adjust  but  others  are  just  not  prepared  for  that  sudden  shift  in  life  style  and  because  of  that,  some  people  just  don’t  fit  into  parenting.  Here  is  another  thing,  Married  stay  at  home  moms  are  locked  in  their  homes  looking  after  the  kids.  If  they  have  to  go  out,  they  have  to  take  the  kids  along.  Well  it  isn’t  always  that  bad  but  for  those  not  used  to  it,  it  can  be  annoying.    But  there  is  of  course  a  lot  of  happy  moments  as  well  such  as  playing  with  your  kids  and  knowing  that  her  husband  will  soon  join  the  family  to  share  in  the  occasion  which  really  does  steer  up  joy.  However,  sometimes  a  Mother  becomes  bored  and  certainly  misses  the  good  old  times  she  shared  with  her  friends  and  other  workmates.  If  you  are  a  Mother  reading  this,  do  you  somehow  identify  yourself  here?  Lets  see  how  single  stay  at  home  moms  fare.    Single  Stay  at  Home  Moms    They  certainly  have  a  lot  of  similarities  with  the  Married  ones  except  they  have  to  single  handedly  take  care  of  parenting  their  kids.  This  is  not  an  easy  thing  because  they  are  now  doing  what  they  should  have  done  together  with  their  husband.  If  a  single  stay  at  home  Mom  is  not  working,  it  is  certainly  going  to  be  the  number  one  thing  always  on  their  mind.  Whatever  situation  it  was  that  turned  them  into  becoming  single  stay  at  home  moms,  it  really  does  add  to  their  burdens  each  and  every  day.      7  Things  Stay  at  Home  Moms  should  be  doing    

(1) Learn  New  things;  You  might  be  asking,  “I  don’t  have  time  to  learn  anything,  Remember  the  KIDS?”  Well  of  course,  I  forgot  about  the  kids  forgive  me.  However,  with  or  without  kids  you  have  the  opportunity  to  still  learn  new  things.  The  point  here  is  not  to  be  bored.  Being  bored  during  those  

boring  moments  at  home  can  subject  you  to  a  lot  of  stress  and  anxiety.  So  try  new  things  that  are  interesting  and  I  am  not  talking  about  watching  TV  here.  There  are  a  few  nice  and  exciting  hobbies  you  could  do  such  as  exercising  around  the  house,  watering  some  flowers,  baking  some  biscuits  and  cakes  for  the  family  or  even  cooking  your  husbands  favorite  meal.  Exciting  right?  Well  incase  what  I  suggested  was  even  more  boring  for  you,  why  not  come  up  with  an  exciting  list  of  10  things  you  should  be  doing  while  you  are  a  stay  at  home  Mom.  After  you  have  come  up  with  that  exciting  list,  share  it  with  your  husband  and  if  you  don’t  have  a  husband,  share  it  with  someone  close  to  you.      The  point  is  to  add  a  bit  of  sparkle  to  your  life  and  start  looking  at  your  new  circumstance  as  an  opportunity  to  be  a  better  person    

(2) Invite  friends  home;  Remember  those  girlfriends  you  used  to  go  out  a  lot  with?  Well  you  don’t  have  to  invite  all  of  them  but  you  could  have  a  few  over  your  place.  There  is  totally  nothing  wrong  having  them  over  and  its  even  better  when  they  also  have  kids  too.  You  can  seat  together  on  a  round  table  and  play  monopoly  or  something  similar.  Or  you  can  have  a  few  cokes  while  you  all  watch  your  favorite  movie.  But  do  you  see  the  point?  It  is  time  to  stop  feeling  sorry  for  yourself  and  brighten  your  day  with  colleagues  who  are  positive  thinkers  and  who  have  a  positive  influence  on  you  and  your  family.  If  you  are  married,  always  remember  you  are  married  and  if  you  are  Single,  always  remember  you  are  Single.  Two  different  circumstances  especially  when  it  comes  to  making  decisions.  As  a  married  person  you  may  need  to  consult  if  you  have  to  do  something  with  friends  but  as  a  single  person  its  totally  different.    

(3) Confide  in  Someone;  “When  the  going  gets  tough,  the  tough  get  going”  as  the  saying  goes.  Well  not  everyone  is  made  of  steel  especially  in  a  woman’s  world.  Sometimes  the  pressure  of  parenting  and  raising  kids  can  be  so  overwhelming  and  the  mere  fact  that  Moms  have  to  do  it  themselves  most  of  the  times  can  add  to  the  burden.  Confiding  in  someone  about  your  problems  can  really  go  a  long  way.  Remember  not  just  anybody  could  hear  you  out  but  it  should  be  someone  you  trust  and  who  sees  your  best  interest  at  heart  and  who  especially  wants  to  see  you  and  your  family  succeed.  I  personally  think  that  a  spouse  qualifies  if  married,  but  if  not,  a  close  friend  or  parent  can  be  a  good  listener  to  whatever  problem  you  have.  A  problem  shared  is  a  problem  solved,  as  another  saying  goes,  but  you  will  soon  discover  when  this  is  actually  put  into  practice  the  results  can  actually  be  worthwhile.        

 (4) Get  really  close  with  the  Kids;  If  you  have  kids  it  would  be  

the  perfect  opportunity  to  really  get  to  know  your  children.  Ofcourse,  many  

Mothers  actually  do.  Well  in  getting  to  know  them,  you  don’t  want  to  be  seen  by  your  children  as  somebody  who  just  commands  them  what  to  do,  but  you  want  to  be  a  parent  that  listens.  Have  a  Mother  to  Child  conversation  with  your  children  and  get  to  know  what  is  at  the  back  of  their  minds  too.  With  the  time  spent  with  your  children,  you  also  have  the  opportunity  to  instill  good  values  into  them  too.  There  may  be  things  our  kids  say  which  we  tend  to  ignore  because  we  assume  they  are  only  kids,  don’t  always  overlook  everything  they  have  to  say.    

 (5) Check  your  Stress  Levels;  Sometimes  we  choose  to  ignore  

what  is  happening  in  our  personal  lives.  You  may  be  a  single  parent  who’s  looking  after  kids,  but  also  having  some  responsibilities  over  younger  siblings  or  ageing  parents.  Even  married  stay  at  home  moms  may  be  going  through  stressful  times  with  their  spouses  which  can  add  up  to  more  anxiety.  If  your  stress  levels  are  high  you  have  to  take  action  immediately.  There’s  a  lot  of  advice  from  medical  experts  that  explain  how  you  can  control  your  stress  levels  and  lead  a  life  that  is  calm  and  moderate.  There  are  also  certain  foods  that  are  highly  recommended  to  keep  your  body  healthy  and  lively.    

 (6) Take  plenty  of  Sleep;  Many  people  assume  that  by  being  a  stay  

at  home  mom,  you  automatically  have  plenty  of  sleep  to  yourselves.  True  or  False?  Well  the  answer  is  False,  actually  you  will  be  amazed  at  how  much  little  sleep  some  parents  get  per  day  including  stay  at  home  moms.  I  would  like  to  assume  that  the  major  reason  for  not  sleeping  enough  is  because  of  the  kids.  Yes,  there  is  just  so  much  to  do  but  also  ontop  of  that,  Moms  have  to  give  attention  to  their  spouses.  For  those  who  are  single,  they  probably  are  thinking  where  to  find  the  extra  bucks.  But  sleep  deprivation  is  not  the  answer  and  in  fact  those  who  don’t  have  enough  sleep  are  usually  very  moody  and  are  not  high  performers.  Science  has  this  to  prove  it  

 (7) Work  from  Home;  As  was  mentioned  earlier  in  this  article  the  

majority  of  time  we  worry  about  how  our  children  will  grow  up  and  the  bills.  Worries  are  a  part  of  life  but  they  shouldn't  overwhelm  us  to  the  point  you  completely  fail  to  function.  If  u  are  worried  about  what  your  children  will  grow  up  to  become,  you  need  to  take  action  by  instilling  into  them  good  morals.  Every  child  needs  to  be  taught  both  the  good  and  bad  side  of  life.  What  if  it's  the  bills  you  are  worried  about?  Well  you  probably  know  this  already,  finding  a  job  is  essential.  

 There  are  a  lot  of  Jobs  out  there  some  of  them  easy  to  find  while  others  presenting  a  constant  struggle.  There  are  a  couple  of  things  you  need  to  realize  when  on  the  search.  Establishing  the  right  networks  can  give  you  a  head  start  when  it  comes  to  assessing  market  opportunities.  It  is  usually  recommended  that  you  let  everybody  know  that  you  are  in  need  of  work  by  

informing  former  workmates,  friends,  relatives  and  even  parents.  You  will  never  know  when  opportunity  will  come  knocking  on  your  doorstep.  But  it's  also  essential  that  you  keep  those  applications  spreading  far  and  wide.    When  a  job  finally  comes  your  way  and  it  meets  your  standards,  then  you  should  work  at  it  whole  souled.  Do  not  force  yourself  to  get  involved  in  something  that  is  against  your  Moral  principles  or  ethics  because  it  will  just  make  things  worse.  Accept  a  job  offer  that  you  are  sure  about  and  that  you  know  is  not  bad.    But  speaking  of  Job  Offers,  you  don't  always  have  to  work  for  somebody  else  in  order  to  earn  that  extra  buck.  Actually,  did  you  know  that  more  and  more  people  are  leaving  their  full  time  jobs  to  become  entrepreneurs?  Statistics  actually  can  prove  it.  According  to  the  bureau  of  Labor  statistics,  every  month  people  are  leaving  their  full  time  jobs  to  become  entrepreneurs.      What  this  shows  is  that  people  actually  see  the  huge  potential  that  entrepreneurship  has  to  offer.  Now  what  do  entrepreneurs  do?  Most  offer  valuable  services  to  clients  at  a  reasonable  fee  in  order  to  help  them  solve  a  problem.  Believe  it  or  not,  people  are  willing  to  pay  a  lot  of  money  in  order  to  have  their  problems  solved.  In  case  you  may  be  wondering  where  I  am  driving  to,  have  you  ever  heard  of  making  money  online?  Many  people  are  making  money  online  and  so  can  you.  I  won't  do  much  writing  on  this  one  but  for  starters  I  would  like  you  to  download  our  free  ebook  "how  to  earn  money  online  for  the  first  time"  http://www.toptier4you.com/7-things-stay-at-home-moms/  .  After  this  you  can  follow  this  https://goo.gl/sttiSm  again  to  watch  a  free  video  of  an  ordinary  man  who  started  earning  Money  online  and  Look  at  where  he  is  today.  If  you  would  like  that  to  happen  to  you,  enrol  in  the  system.
