Are you the stay-at-home type?

Found this information here.

Attributes of relatively happy stay-at-home moms

  • A temperament suited to small children
  • Financial means and a support network that works
  • Faith- or value-driven desire to be at home
  • Desire for major life change
  • Easier hormonal/emotional adjustment
Attributes of relatively happy moms working outside the home
  • Economic need
  • High energy and good at handling stress
  • Long-held desire to be a working mom
  • Family-friendly job
  • Need to restore herself, away from child
Attributes of relatively happy split-time moms:
  • Adaptable personality
  • More flexible budget
  • Husband who's willing to help or meet his wife halfway
  • Independent-minded and comfortable with lack of firm identity

Self-diagnosis: I think I am the happy-mom-working-outside-the-home type, but I am also the happy-stay-at-home-and-homesteading type.
