Moms in the workforce # 2

I’m Miriam  Neff-with STARTING OVER FINANCIALLY, and I’m Valerie Neff Hogan, and we’re here to talk about money

 

M  Most moms are in the work place now.  Some take time away for children, usually not as long as when I was Mom of small children.  We can’t do it all.

 

V Get over the guilt that,  ‘my children will suffer loss of what I can’t do.’  How about,’look at the value of learning to do your own laundry.’  Grade school children can organize their own clothes.  Junior Highers can be introduced  to the clothes washer. Its an important time to revisit the family spending plan.  Mom’s new paycheck is not without additional expenses.

 

M  Some tasks simply won’t happen. Some expenses will grow.  Transportation and wardrobe.  Child care for youngsters. Remember, its God’s to steward.
