Being a mother is a round-the-clock job. It is the fullest of full-time jobs. It never ends. It is a wonder how supermoms are able to juggle work, chores, being a wife, and being a mom. It is definitely a miracle if a woman excels in all of the above. Usually, one or more of the other roles suffer.
Nowadays, a lot of people choose to work at home over having office jobs. This is actually advantageous for both employers and employees. Mostly, this is great for SAHMs or stay-at-home moms.
It means less time preparing and traveling to and from the workplace and more time for chores, for the husband, and for the kids.
It also means making her own hours, and being able to better manage time for work, kids and other responsibilities because there is no set schedule to follow.
The Perfect Schedule
Stay at home moms who work online can have the perfect working schedule according to Online Parent Advisor. With a specific number of working hours that may be used straight or at different times of the day, it is the perfect arrangement for mothers.
As moms, there are doctor and dentist appointments, kids’ school, kids’ extra-curricular activities, errands, and chores that need to be done in specific times of the day. Working online allows them to schedule these tasks and have their free time for work. As long as she meets the deadline, it does not matter at what time of the day she works.
Convenience
One of the best things about working from home is that a mom can continue contributing significant amount to the family income sans the stress caused by the daily commute including enduring heavy traffic to go to and from the workplace.
There is also no need for time and effort to adjust to co-workers and the working environment. This is great because by working online, moms earn money without being exposed to stressful circumstances.
Family First
Any mother would definitely choose to be there for her family whenever she is needed, especially by the kids. When a mom needs to travel to the workplace, it would take time to get home in case one of the kids got sick.
It would also take time to seek permission to go home early. While when a mom works from home, she can attend to her sick kid’s needs without having to ask anyone for permission. It is a luxury that SAHMs have that other working mom doesn’t.
Time normally spent waking up extra early, dressing up, and commuting to and from the workplace can now be spent at home. This allows moms to have more quality time with the family.
Be Your Own Boss
Mothers who work online, as freelancers, are their own bosses. They do not get shouted at, they do not get pressured, and they are rarely criticized. They can choose their own clients, their own assignments, and they can choose deadlines that are more convenient and achievable for them. They work at their own pace and follow instructions and orders only from the clients they choose to work for.
