Stay At Home Mom

  So many parents don’t have the opportunity to be home for their kids because they have to work. Some kids have to wake themselves up, get their own breakfast, make their own lunch and come home to an empty house and do their homework without being able to ask for help. A lot of parents have to work to keep up with bills, gas money etc. I interviewed a stay at home mother Jeanine Bandecchi (my mother) from Norton MA to see what it was like o be a stay at home mother.

    What’s it like being a stay at home mom? “I love being a stay at home mom. It gives me the opportunity to really be involved in my kid’s lives.” What do you do all day? “I clean, cook, do laundry etc...” Do you ever get out of the house? “I always get out of the house to do errands and have the occasional lunch time with friends.” Have you ever been a working mom before? If so did you ever feel like you didn’t spend a lot of time with your kids? “I have been a working mom before and I was torn because I felt I wasn't giving enough time to my kids. It is tough to balance family life and work. I am happy I am able to put all my time and energy into my family and their needs. “If you can would you try and get a job?
 “My family always comes first, so if I did get a job it would have to be part time and not interfere with my time that I need to be home.”

    As you can see being a stay home mom has its benefits. Moms can clean around the house, start dinner, and help their kids in any way possible. They can be stay at home mothers because they don’t have to worry about money and bills as much as other families do.
