Stay-At-Home Moms In Charge Of Their Future

By Elizabeth Clark

It's time for stay-at-home moms to think outside the bun. You see, middle income mothers at least have something to start with. But low income moms have a disadvantage far greater.

It's not always the low income mothers fault for needing government assistance. And trying to overcome the daily struggles of a situation that is most depressing.

Many low income moms have come from dysfunctional and abusive family situations. These circumstances have led to unplanned pregnancies.

Out of every 2 or more pregnancies, there is 1 unplanned pregnancy. The more severe the dysfunctional family, the greater the chance of a unplanned pregnancy.

Moms are under tremendous pressure to care for their children. Lacking education or technical skills and running out of support from family and friends. Can mom change this equation?

With unpaid bills, and rising childcare costs, mom is forced to work many hours for very little pay. And to add to this, mom now needs reliable transportation. This is added stress that also affects how mom raises her child.

Unable to give her child the quality attention necessary; mom becomes emotionally draining and depressed. This can greatly affect her children's behavior and confidence in school.

Her children greatly want and need her attention and affection. Because of moms excessive work schedule depriving her children of her quality time and attention. The result is negative behavior from her children.

Mom wants to focus her energy and time on her child. But is usually wore out by night time do too long work hours.

This can cause poor eating habits which lead to poor health for mom and her child. The worst part is that moms who work a regular job earn 15 to 20% less then a woman without a child.

And even worse, the mother whose income is above the earned income level, receives NO assistance. Meaning taxes for the middle income mother can take a big portion of her earnings.

This forces the middle income mom to work even harder increasing her stress level. Working harder with no assistance is harmful to mom's health. So how can mom enjoy her work?

After working all day, sore feet, taking abuse from her boss all day. Listening to gossip from coworkers, then dealing with rush hour traffic.

Now after picking up her child from daycare who is hyperactive; totally in need of her undivided attention. Mom's cell phone is ringing with additional demands from family and friends. While mom is exhausted, yet trying to hide her pain from her child.
