Answer :

My mom was a housewife until I started the first grade. I was they youngest of 4. She then found a part time job that allowed her to work until we came home from school. I don’t think I can help you because I grew up in a different time period that most mothers stayed home. I did like that my mom was home when I got home until I was about in the 5th grade and then I didn’t really notice or care. It was all about going out to play with the kids in the neighborhood. I don’t know if she was happy being home or wished she had a full time job. What do you want to do?
