Is It Bad That I Plan On Being A Working Mother?

I live in the Northeast. The cost of living here is crazy. My Fi and I have started looking at houses. The cheapest we could find in a “decent” middle class town was $350,000 for a 3 bedroom. That’s for 1300 sq ft too. So, no mini mansion for us. Our mortgage will be well over $ 1,300 by the time we add taxes

We are discussing having children. I plan on being a teacher and I do plan on working when I have children.

However, I’m just amazed at the negativity that surronds working mothers.

In my case, my Fi will not make enough to pay a $1,300 mortgage-plus groceries, utilities, our student loan payments and his car payment and car insurance. Plus, basic needs like household repairs (the house we are buying is in need of a new bathroom/kitchen ASAP-it’s very old)

I can’t see how anyone would call my decision to work wrong, based on our financial situation. We are already moving to a town almost an hour away from where I grew up, b/c it’s a cheaper area.

No, it is not bad. I am a working mother. I think it’s great that you are willing to put the needs of your family before your own. Good luck to you. Being a stay at home mom doesn’t make you a better parent. there are good working parents & there are bad. there are good SAHM’s & there are bad. it’s the quality of the time you spend with your child. The morals & values you instill in them. if your child comes from a good, loving home, you’re giving him or her the proper foundation.
