Re: Why do you Wah?
Ana I started Tupperware a couple of months ago too, and can see it funding my fabric purchases too
 I'm starting as a hobby really. I make all Maddi's fitted, and just love it. I see all these cute fabrics I could use. So to satisfy that itch, just buy it all and make them for everyone else. I mean a girl can only have so many nappies can't she, can't she lol. But its nice to have something for me. Dh works nights, so by 7.30 everyone else is in bed. So its my time to sit and have some me time doing something I enjoy.

Re: Why do you Wah?
I (like most) am really just playing at being a WAHM. It is a glorifed hobby, but to me the W means a income that makes a difference.
I Partially did it coz I was a) Stupid enough to think it would reduce the cost of Emilys nappies (buy in bulk) b) Stupid enough to think I would make money c) Didnt want to return to work yet as Em has a medical condition. This was an excuse that kept DF and my parents quiet for a while.

Re: Why do you Wah?
I've worked from home from time to time.
The first time was before kids and I made a deal with work that I work from home. Didn't work out at all. I ended up working more hours 'cause I didn't have any boundaries about starting and finishing. So the minute I got up, I was working right up until I went to bed (really late). My reason to WAH, was so I could oversee some renovations at my house (which I didn't end up doing 'cause I was even more busy with working). The times I've WAH after kids was more 'cause I was bored and needed to have a challenge. So its not so much a hobby but more to challenge myself every now and then.

Re: Why do you Wah?
I WAH for a few reasons really
- I love making nappies/covers etc, I love the feeling of accomplishment when you put that final snap on and say...aaahhh, all done. That's not something I find I can do with everyday things around the house, I clean up and 5 minutes later the kids have made more mess. - It funds my nappy buying and I use any profits on the kids, be it clothes or their activites like swimming, hey-dee-ho or sing and sign - It lets me be at home with my girls, I don't plan to work outside the home til the kids are a lot older. - It gives me some time to myself, where my mind can switch off from the everyday things around me
