Just A Mom?. Edition No. 1
VDM Publishing House, July 2009, Pages: 80
This study grew out of a personal desire to produce a
work that studied the life satisfaction of
stay-at-home mothers. This
research project is a qualitative study of the
experience of being a stay-at-home mother. The
purpose of this study is to provide a narrative view
of at-home mothering based on the variables of
identity, isolation, social support, well-being and
life satisfaction, in addition to parenting at least
one “pre”-school child. The perceived status of
mothers and the value of their work are some of the
factors included in this study as a historical
foundation of the experience of motherhood. This
study found a connection between a strong and varied
social support system, which appeared to lower
isolation, and increase the well-being and life
satisfaction of the mothers in this study. The data
indicated that overall these mothers were satisfied
with their decision and experienced the role
positively.
