Deciding to be a SAHM or stay-at-home-mother is not that easy. Specially if you have a very rewarding career before you get pregnant. Since you will leave all the perks of having a career like promotion, salary increase, bonus etc. But it does not mean that being a SAHM does not as rewarding as your previous or current career. It might be the most rewarding experience to any woman. Since being a SAHM is not that easy. Imagine all the works and duties you are about to do inside your home plus a baby that you need to take care and mold as a good citizen. Though being a SAHM will not give you any amount as your salary I think the best reward it can give you is seeing you home and family in good condition. Having child and seeing him from his birth to his growing years wihtout missing any single moment of his existence here on earth.
