Hi Mommy2GG,
I think my family would qualify.
Even though I do some work outside of my home (helps pay the bills), I have happily been a "WAH" (that's the first time I've heard that one) since 1999.
My wonderful wife, Camille, and my two teenage sons (Devin and Dustin) are my co-equal partners in our online business. We've been creating and selling our own brand of motivational posters since 1999.
Working anywhere can be tough (it IS work afterall)... working for yourself can be even tougher. And, working from home also is a whole new dimension in family cooperation.
I love it and am so glad for the opportunity to be able to develop a business that I can operate from home.

Hi all!
I'm a WAHM and proud of it. My husband was just able to become a WAHD to help me work my businesses. :)
I look forward to learning from everyone.

We're also WAHPs. We've got three kids and chose to work from home so that we could both be here for them.

Well, I am a Mom, but my kid is 22. And I do work at home sometimes, but I lease an office outside the house and work there as much as at home. So, we could call me a WAHM in a pinch, but it wouldn't do the real WAHM/Ds justice since I don't have all those added challenges of working in the midst of a demanding family.

Another WAHM here !. Well I am at home but don't know if you would call what I do work, seeing as I haven't earned any money from it lol ! (the web end that is !) but I do also do a bit of access development and software testing for a couple of people.
For any wahms in europe (or wahds or wahgp's (grand parents !!) we are open to all !)

It's realy very nice to see so much of you WAH parents here. That's what makes this forum different, no lamers, no kids trying to earn easy money. Keep up the good work guys!

I've been working from home for over 8 years, but its only in the last couple of years, with the arrival of broadband locally that I've really been able to get into the internet in any serious way.
Working from home is the way to go, really handy for getting kids to and from school etc. Although I do make the occasional foray out into the big wide world to do interviews and take pics, about 70% of my time is spent here, writing articles for various magazines and exploring the potential of the even bigger www world....
Success to all....
