That is the question...
So every couple of months I sit in my office and go back and forth as to what I truly want to do when i grow up. Do I want to strive to be that successful corporate mom that can balance the great office life with her great family life? OR Do I want to just stop work and be a SAHM with my boy. I do realize that in order for me to realistically do this I would need to come up with an idea to generate some kind of income. OR Are both of these ideas really just that, ideas....
I enjoy feeling accomplished and having something like work to go to to get away and really identify myself in the "outside" world. I need to be able to set goals and accomplish them. I need to have projects in my life as well. This is just me. Many times though my job doesn't really allow for me that sense of accomplishment nor does it give me the involvement needed. It becomes a feeling of resentment instead of accomplishment. I cannot be at home because i have to come in here and sit and do nothing all day, away from my son. *breathe*
Ok, or the alternative, to quit my job so i can stay at home with my son. Now in today's economy and the financial situations of couples these days makes it impossible for that to happen for many of us. I would need to find an alternative source of income. I am not all about pyramid schemes, or get rich quick schemes, or anything like that. I mean a legitimate business idea that will provide me with something to connect to and something that pays me. I am beginning to research ideas like this to see what is out there. Many of the sites recommend day care in your home, crafting, or real estate (renting and selling).
I have to keep digging and really think about this alternative because as much as the grass seems greener on the other side... what you don't know you don't know. Its better to do the research.
Are there alternatives to a 9 - 5, in office job that you have seen success with?? Anyone? My quest continues.
