Heh, it gets me all fired up when I hear that being a mom or just a mom isn't a full time job.

It's a very demanding job and not being paid in monies, hugs and kisses off course, which is more rewarding!

Being and Wife and Mom IS a job in itself. :)

I'm a housewife to my husband (been married 10 1/2 years) and furbabies (one dog & 3 cats). Kids are grown (25 & 20) I used to work at a tax preparation office. I was a tax preparer & office manager.

So very true, but I think you are actually a domestic engineer, not counting of course being chief cook, bottle washer, nurse, etc. etc. etc...

I am a retired Postmaster, plus a domestic engineer...lol

Absolutely, beyond a doubt AGREED! :lol: :-o :!:

I spent most of the last 20 years as a stay home mom. The last 2 years I've been a part time library clerk.

Being a mom is a job, but if you do it right you end up nearly obsolete. :shock:

I've raised our two daughters while also working outside the home over the past 40 years as a medical secretary, switchboard operator, accounting clerk, office manager, private secretary to a kayak designer/manufacturer, mini school bus matron, and finally a stay-at-home quilter. Life is good, retirement is near.

Domestic Goddess

Retired. Was in the USAF for almost 27 years, retired as a Chief Master Sergeant (E-9)--loved it, but am too active to miss it :)

I am a wife for 25+ yrs, a youngest daughter, a step-mother to a wonderful boy and girl (both married with children)so now I am a grandma and My hubby and I are owned by our 3 french bulldogs.
Earlier in life, short order cook, in-home care, bookkeeper, after BS Degree - became an accountant, finally a real estate investor - that really allowed me to retire young and commit my life to my hubby, dogs and quilting.

Wife almost 28 yrs, mom 2 kids, fur mom 1st time, friend, disabled RN, chronic pain coordinator, cleaner, cook , laundress, Gardner, shopper, Occas bank for my 2 kids(lol), tv watcher, book reader is that enough? Ha ha!!

Worked at public library (technical side), secretary for public utility, computer specialist for same, retired then worked as medical transcriptionist for 10 years from home. Disabled (knee replacement infection) since 2006. Pretty much worthless these days. Sew/quilt to keep sane!

Please don't call yourself "worthless". I'll bet you mean the world to that little one in your avatar. If you do nothing but share thoughts with everyone on the quilting board, you're filling one of life's greatest roles: friendship. Besides that, you're quilting - need I say more?

I was a social worker for a few years before having my 3 kids, who are now in their 30's. I've been a "retired" stay-at-home mom since they grew up. Full-time wife of 39 1/2 years, too. I stayed busy and was never bored. Lots of crafts, reading, a little volunteering. I feel very lucky that I was able to stay home with my kids.

I'm a respiratory therapist too :) And I agree with quilting being a sanity keeper! I am also a wife (16 years in July!) and Mom to two daughters (ages 10 and 14) This all keeps me busy!

I've been one of these in my happy homemaker home at one point or another. Therapist to my boys. They still are trying to understand the girls. Architect for basement construction, landscaper/head gardener/laborer ( just recently added 15 yards of soil to the yard after new concrete drive installed. Dishwasher, chef, prep cook, and anything else in the kitchen. Laundry, maid, dog groomer, refuse control manager, office manager( I keep everyones schedules and make their appointments. I'm also a very reliable taxi service. Before children I as an accountant and a waitress. I think all of us domestic goddesses really do way more than we are credited. Have a beautiful day.

I'm a wife & mother. Worked full time in Retail sales for 17 years, Postal worker full time for 3 years & now part time as a Night Auditor at a Hampton Inn. Also mom to 4 doggies & 3 kitties, well technically they belong to both my DD's. :)

Wife fro 23 years, stepmom for 23 years, mom for 21 years,bank teller for 1 years, private school teacher for 4 years, homeschool mom for 17 years, church administrator for 10 years, grandma for 5.5 months! (the best job!), and now chief cook, bottle washer, taxi driver, manager, baker, sewist, quilter, shopper... you get the picture - for the past two years!

Radiologic Technologis and (Bartender off and on)

Highliner for 28 years (high voltage electric power lines), but now an independent fabric shop co-owner (Mom & Pop Shop) going on 6 years. My wife and I have shared all of those years together, plus a couple.

CD in Oklahoma

I'm 63 this year, and recently retired from working in Medical Administration in a large teaching hospital. I now work part-time, as well as looking after one grumpy old man, four dogs, and a very messy house. Incidentally, I always blamed everyone else for the mess. However, since retiring from fulltime work, I'm sorry to tell you that most of the mess is MINE!

I retired about 8 years ago as a Postal worker after 23 years of beating the street in the hot summers and cold winters and selling stamps and etc at the window.
Now,since my retirement check barely covers my car payment, I cook and sell Cinnamon Rolls and bierocks for spending money to support my quilting habit.
I'm also a Mother of 4 grown (not necessarily Grown Up) kids and I am a stepmother to my Avatar, Killer and a wife to my husband.
