The Rewards of Staying Home With Your Kids

Categories:  as a SAHP

Working while Barney or Hi-5 is on is a normal daily event for me.  My little Ea watches kids’ shows on a monitor extended from my laptop which is just about an inch away from my work station.  Sometimes the noise around the house takes my focus away.   It’s difficult to tinker on the keyboards using a single hand most especially when one or both of my little ones are on board.  Sometimes I would want to take a few minutes break and just do nothing, think about nothing and hear nothing.   But what I have really realized is that the benefits of staying home with the kids far outweigh the inconvenience of having to hear all their whinging.  Being there when my children needs me is the best gift I could ever give especially now when they are still on their formative years.  Here’s why:

  • Learning is fun when kids have their parents as their teacher, playmate, dance partner and best friend.
  • Having their mama’s arms around them when they’re sick speeds up recovery.   Even if there are medical professionals for almost every body concerns, nothing beats the warmth of a mother’s touch.

I could list more until the sun sets but let me just stick to the best ones right now.  Although things could get tough at home when you can’t seem to get things done, I’m still loving every moment of it.

    I am sure you are going to be an excellent parent with that attitude. Sadly, there are parents out there who don’t appreciate the value of being with there children, and enjoying there company.

    @Asim: Thanks, I really hope I will. I know raising up a child is tougher than raising a company :D But it would be all worth it, am sure of that. I know of parents who are just not as affectionate and expressive. Some won’t even take time to play with their kids. And I bet they would wonder why their kids stay away from when during teenage years…
