Home with the Kids offers a tremendous range of resources for stay at home moms and dads.

Being responsible for your family all day, and possibly adding in a work from home job or home business can be harder than a lot of people think. Most at home parents quickly learn about the challenges and delights.

But stay at home moms and dads have some big advantages these days too. The Internet has opened up many possibilities, from meeting new friends online to bringing in an income while being there for your kids.

Stay at home moms don't have to find a work from home job or start a home business, but if that's what you wnat to do, one of the most important things you can do is get some solid advice. There are tons of work at home scams out there, and falling for one can be all too easy.

Helping My Son Cope with Change
It’s been a busy couple of weeks for me. My husband has gone back to work. School has started for my daughter. This whole pregnancy thing. No wonder my poor son is barely on speaking terms with any of us. He’s just overwhelmed by it all! His speech therapy started back up today, which I hope will [...]

No, Kids, I’m Not Always Fair!
As my children enter that delightful stage where they fight over all sorts of random little things, the time also comes when I have to ponder issues of what’s fair. Kids are great at pointing out when things are unfair. On the other hand, I don’t want to overdo it. I can still remember as a [...]

Getting Your Child’s Wardrobe Ready for Back to School
Back to school means it’s time to go over your child’s wardrobe. What fits, what doesn’t, what’s stained, what’s plain worn out? Even if there’s still a good selection of clothes you’ll probably still do some back to school shopping. What child doesn’t like having a new outfit for the first day of school? This can also [...]

Want to know how I got my start?

I've been asked many times how I learned about working at home. I was one of the lucky ones. I learned about medical transcription from my older sister, who helped me to get training and land my first job. I worked as a transcriptionist for about three years. The number of times I had other moms ask me how to get into that field eventually inspired this website.

No, this site was not an overnight success. It took over two years to build this site to where I could quit transcribing and work solely on this and my other websites. Over time, I found that more of my visitors were interested in stay at home parenting topics and work at home jobs, so I spun off the home business section to a new website. I still go over some of the basics of home business here, but the other site goes into more detail on a wider range of home businesses.

Want to keep up with things on this site and get fresh articles on being a stay at home or work at home parent? Subscribe to the newsletter! It includes what's new on the site, letter from the editor, articles on working at home, saving money, work at home business and more. Get information on products and services that may interest you as a stay or work at home parent, as well as advice on coping with issues you may face.

How has staying home with the kids changed?

Women used to assume they would stay home with their families. Now most have had a career first.
It is common for mothers to decide to return to work at least part time as their children get older.
Women are waiting longer to start their families. They are finishing their education first.
Staying home is more of an option rather than an expectation of today's mothers.
Working from home, starting a home business and telecommuting have grown tremendously in popularity.
Some fathers now stay or work from home while mothers are the primary breadwinnners.

For all you Mommies out there...
