I became a stay-at-home wife/mom after covid. My husband said if I didn't want to go back to work, he would be totally fine with it, and we have never been happier. Our daughter is now 10 and I feel so relieved that my schedule is now centered around my family instead of my employment. Relief is the feeling. God is good, I feel so lucky blessed and calm.
Good for you. My wife had been home with our son and now our new daughter for 4 years now. It's great to see families putting the kids first
I have 3 kids - ages 12, 10, and 5. I’ve been a stay at home parent/ homemaker for 12 years. I went back to teaching briefly, for a year and a half, and it was extremely difficult. I chose to come back to being at home full time, and I’m sooooo much happier. My husband is completely supportive of anything I want to do, but I realized how truly happy being at home and being able to give my full time and attention to my family really made me. Going back to work completely drained me, didn’t make a huge difference financially (teachers don’t get paid nearly enough), and I was spending so much time lesson planning and prepping for my students that my own children weren’t getting the best version of me. I believe it’s all about choice, and I CHOOSE to put my family first, always, and enjoy the slower paced lifestyle. I support women, and men, doing what works for them and what makes them happy. I just wish people today didn’t still think that stay at home parents don’t contribute to society, or have a “real” job. It’s as real as it gets. ❤
I love that you tried to go back to teaching and realized it wasn’t a good fit anymore. Sometimes I think women struggle with the thought of regret. “Will I regret not returning to work? Will I regret not staying home?” You tried it and quickly realized what you really wanted and that’s beautiful. Thank you for sharing your experience. 🤎
These are all the reasons I quit my work from home job and this year I’m pulling my kids out of school. We do not like hustle and bustle. We will live a calm and slowed down life.
I cried watching this 🥹 I made the decision in 2021 to be become a stay at home wife and can relate to sitting in front of a computer and letting life pass you. My family (mainly women) judged my decision but I’ve had to ignore their opinions and trust my inner voice which was God leading me. I now am 4 months pregnant and getting ready to become a stay at home mom which is truly God answering a prayer. Thank you for touching on as African women not having examples of women who have become stay at home wives, moms, or even homeschooled their children. I’m learning that we are the new and few African women, wives, and mothers who are setting a new tone and pace to live the life God has truly intended for us. Thank you again for this inspirational video!
congratulations sis🥰 Trusting the Holy Spirit is key and you are so right. God is doing a new thing and I for one am so thankful to be apart of it. 🤎
I want to be a stay at home mom and I love seeing black women like you who are deciding to stay home ❤
Thank you for watching ☺️🤎
I have been at home for 2 years now. Quit my 9 to 5 to work 24/7 😩😂😂😂 I love it so much. I'm more involved with the children's academics, growth and development and just their lives as a whole. And we welcomed our 3rd baby, and I am able to stay home and be her everything. It's a blessing.
Being in the home and running it with my full attention is a blessing. And good for you too!
Allah bless you sister ....thank you for being a good mother to your family
This was definitely my confirmation 😭🙏🏾❤️ I put in my resignation letter last week giving a month notice. Everything you said in this video is what God has put on my heart and him allowing this video to pop up on my feed to see that I’m not the only one 🙏🏾❤️
4 minutes in and I had to pause b/c WOW! You have literally just said EVERYTHING I'm feeling. I'm here very anxious about submitting my notice that I decided to TH-cam what other women went through. Your video was the first one I clicked on and I'm so glad I did! Thank you for sharing!
🤎 loved this! I just quit my job as well for all the same reasons 🙌🏼
I honestly feel God is moving. I myself became a stay at home mom the moment my son was born.and during the pandemic I am now a homeschool mom too. Not knowing what to do or if I’m doing it right but trusting in the lord.
Allah bless you for being a good mother to your kids
I also work from home (97% of the time) and you're right- it's STILL hard. I squeeze in homemaking to my mornings before work, lunchtimes, evenings and weekends- it's no easy feat. I'm so looking forward to the day I'll be able to quit. You're beautiful by the way x
😊 Thank you! It’s definitely a challenge. There has been an update to this video though. I’ve since returned to working remotely. It’s now part time. At first I was disappointed but it’s honestly been a good balance for my family. Im able to contribute financially and still have time for my all of homemaking responsibilities. I pray you soon find your own perfect balance and peace. 🤎
@@KaylaElizabeth firstly, praise God that he gave you a job in your time of need! Secondly, we have seasons in our marriages and that's OK. Part-time sounds like a great arrangement. Thank you xxx
Currently struggling with this as well... ive already put in my 2 weeks because i just had a baby and i was being told that my home environment (even tho i work remotely) needs to mirror the office, meaning my child would need to be at day care during my shift. Im simply not comfortable with that plus she's a preemie so that's definitely a no-go for me. After much consideration and discussions with my husband, i decided it was best for my family.
Even before i came to this decision, i felt the pull or the "calling" to be a homemaker. Mind you, i was very career oriented and took pride in earning a degree prior to starting our family. Now that my baby's here, i feel such a strong pull to just be present for her and my husband.
However, im struggling to shake this odd feeling of guilt associating with quitting a job and not having another one lined up.
This is my dilemma currently too.
This video is so encouraging! Thank you for sharing!! Congratulations!❤️
I am that mom that worked in corporate for 15 years and now my kids are teens and I desire a soft, slow, and more balanced life. I am transitioning into being a stay at home mom now and I am so excited for this journey!☺️
I’m so happy this video could encourage you. 🤎
Do you think you'll ever share your journey online? I'm interested to hear your perspective x
Seeing this video come up on my feed two years after you created it, wow! 😂❤ Anyway, I loved it! I have been a stay at home mom for about five years, now. Home schooled my son in 2nd and 3rd grade, and then both he and my daughter had “online” school with a local elementary school, for a year to year and a half, during covid. Now that they are in 5th and 7th grade, do I miss the military, or billing? (I was in medical billing after the Army.) No, I do not. Even though my kids are no longer home schooled, being here at home is great, as I can take them to and from school. And when the kids have conflicting activities (sports, band, etc.) my husband and I are able to make sure each of us goes to one. That way, neither of our kids miss out on a practice or a game. Even better, both the communication between my husband and I, as well as with the kids, is so much better than before. Thanks again for the awesome video! And sorry for the long comment!🤣❤️👍
I can’t afford being a stay at home mom but here I am being a stay at home mom ❤
i felt this so much
I’ve been working from home since the pandemic..I have a 1 year old and a 10 year old. Planning to quit as well to be able to be more engaged with them. I am also struggling with my mental health because im at home, but I can’t always be present with my family.
Happy I found your channel. You're inspiring me. I'm preparing my mind to quit my job to be a stay at home wife. Praying once I release the stress of corporate I will focus on my health. If it's meant for us, we may be trying to conceive once I get my health in order. I would homeschool as well. Thanks for sharing ✨️
I’m so happy to hear this video inspired you 😊 I wish you much success on your health journey and in expanding your family.
My physical - and mental- health have been affected by my career also. It sucks. I pray God helps us achieve our dream of being at home full-time xx
This video really resonates with me!! Thank you for sharing your perspective and experience! 🥰 I am a working mom with two little boys as well, but I desperately want to be at home. I want my family to get the best of me. Right now I feel like my best hours are given to my job. Believing God that I will be able to transition to being a stay-at-home-mom soon🤎 Wishing you all the best in your new role!!
I definitely understand feeling like your best hours are going to your job! I ended up going back to work though. It’s still from home but now it’s part time. I’m able to wake up (very early) and get a majority of my work done while my family is still asleep. I can do homeschool with my boys and all of the other things I mentioned in this video. I hope you are able to find a good balance for you and your family soon. Thank you so much for watching. 🤎
🤎 SO happy for you sis! I absolutely enjoy being a home maker and SAHM too. I miss you so much and enjoy your channel.
Ahh you’re a mom?! 😭 congratulations, I know you are thriving in that calling. So happy for you and your family 🤎
I'm so glad I found this video. I don't have kids only step kids but I am preparing to be a stay at home wife in a month or so. I'm so blessed to be in a position to rest a while then explore other options in life, like writing :) and just having a peaceful simple life.
I’ve always homeschooled… they have never been to public school. They are now 13 and 10! It’s been awesome! I’ve always been a stay at home mom as well. I use to have a TH-cam channel but started feeling weird about it. I say all that to say that we are in the same stage of life and I’m totally open to chat about all the the things if you need anyone to talk to 💁🏽♀️
I love your video. It’s my first week off since I quit and I am still really nervous. I quit for pretty much the same reasons. Most jobs are time suckers and are horrible. I worked all of my kids younger years and now with 4 of my 5 kids out of the house I decided to see what God has for me and what I’m called to do. So glad you decided early. Love love love this video. God bless you!
Thank you for watching! I hope your journey has been a smooth one. 🤎
Hi Kayla! I am a year late to your video because I just became a black SAHM to a 2 year old. I felt the same way you did. Thank you so much for creating this video and I hope you are doing fantastic.
Thank you for watching! and congratulations on your transition. 🤎
I wish I could do so. I did switch to a work from home job to have a more flexible schedule with my boys as I'm a single mom. Praying to start my own business and be able to have all the flexibility in the world.
Congratulations Kayla!!! This is such a blessing and I’m so excited for you🤎🤎🤎
It's crazy this video came up when I just decided to go back to work in person andnit has been a rollercoaster of emotions. From co workers with bipolar attitudes who carry their personal to work to getting ordered around like a slave because I am the only African American girl there😢. Crazy thing is i actually enjoy the job because I connect with senior citizens and we do all types of crafts/games etc like getting paid to play (a dream job) but now the center is closing and us as the workers are left to explain to these ladies and gentlemen that had a safe entertaining place to come to will no longer have that available 😢 it sucks and its actually some women who treated us as we were a second family because they are widowers, have lost children etc. This is really tough for me to leave them😢😢
Thank you sister for this video
❤thank you, my heart has been heavy lately with trying to decide if being a stay at home mom was right for me. I had a very hard cry/prayer and needed to see some encouragement. 😅😊
I’m new here ! Congratulations for making a choice for you and your family. Before becoming a mom, I didn’t understand a lot. Motherhood, and growing older has allowed me understand and relate to all you said. ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you for watching ☺️And motherhood definitely had a way of changing your perspective on so many things!
🤎 Totally loved this video Kayla! I have been a working mom on and off on TH-cam and I have had a hard time on feeling comfortable being a full time stay at home mom. Even woth all the gifts God gave me to maintain it. Ive been struggling with the idea, be it purpose, or understanding on worth and I am so inspired by your video. Thank you so much for sharing. I cant wait to see more from you
Debating whether to quit my job to stay home. Currently working from home with my 2 yr old. Only 2 minutes into the video and I feel so seen 😭
Lovely video sis.❤
Thank you for making this video because I desire to be a stay home mom and really want to minister and be there for my family.
It's hard during COVID did the homeschool uuf had to check all three they were online make them get dressed breakfast snack s lunches dinners homeworks and housework I forgot to take baths sometimes brush my teeth and other things .plus think of menues do outside activities with my kiddos yikes but now it seems I enjoy it because being with them is better than any rewards .
Im looking forward to watching your story unfold! 💙 congratulations on joining the tribe of homemaking women 💗
Thank you for watching! There has definitely been some updates to my journey but it’s worked out for my good. 🤎
i am so grateful to have come across your video. i have been pondering this idea for quite some time and needed a push. your reasons for quitting matches all of my checkboxes and more. i look forward to reading this new chapter of your life. keep it coming!♥♥♥
Thank you for watching!! 🤎
Thank you for this video , watched a few months ago !
This video is beautiful. Thank you for sharing. 🤎
Congratulations!! That’s so exciting. You are an amazing mother so I know this is one of your many purposes here on Earth. Can’t wait for more content! ❤️💁🏽♀️
Thank you Adrian! And I appreciate your support 🥰🤎
Hi sis, new friend here. Congratulations!!! I love your reasoning and I feel like so many moms’ eyes were opened during the pandemic whether it was having that bonus time at home with the family, juggling work in front of them, or dreading leaving them as we headed back to work. Wishing you all the best on this journey 💞
Thank you so much for your kind words and for stopping by! 🤎
I am excited for you! I know it’s a hard balance for us mothers. I am glad you were able to make that decision! We do give a company so much time and can’t focus on us!
Thank you so much 😊 and Absolutely!! They were definitely getting the majority of my time and energy. The balancing act was running me ragged.
Good luck on your journey!!
Thank you so much 🤎🤗
I just did it today because my kids are sick in these daycare,I never have time to deep clean like I want to , I’m too tired to cook dinner sometimes, I’m always on the go, it’s no time to work on my health (gym) I just can’t , I thought that if I made more money things would be different but nothing changed,so I’m thankful to the Lord I’m in this position that I can sit home and be ok💵
🤎 great video !
God put the family together before anything else. First the husband and wife, then followed by the children. There will be chalkenges...other distractions will try to come along to keep you away from your family, but keep at doing what is right for your family. Proverbs 14:1 says that a wise woman builds her house, but a foolish woman tears it down with her own hands. Homeschooling allows you to instill what's important to you and your husband, into the lives of your kids.
Here Watching I'm really interested in your story I know so many women feel differently about having to stay home or making excited to hear yours
🤎
great video!
I Can totally relate♥️
❤❤❤❤
Beautiful 😊😊😊
Thank you
Congrats! How has it been in your first year at home?
😊❤
❤
Working from home for yourself is easier with children than working at home for a company.
🤎 Just came across your videos. Chrissy from a little glam a lot of mom would be a great channel to check out. Also Bindi Marc
