I would say yes I am a stay at home mom, even though my kids are in college...It just works for our family. My husband and I both agree, (after only several years of going back and forth) that me being home is what works for our family the best. My husband is on the road a great deal, and I felt that someone had to "be at home" to make our home a home, or home as we knew it would cease to exist! It was mostly my husband that wanted me to go back to work, and it was myself that wanted to be at home. Financially we pulled it off with strict budgeting so it is all working out just fine. But like so many other "stay at moms" I have my hand in other stuff. I run a small rural library which requires only 4-6 hours a week for pay, and run a small soapmaking, crafting venture which pays for our yearly vaction....But I do just love it at home and so does my family...who doesn't like the smell of homemade bread or fresh sheets off the line? kudos to all SAHM's
