My First Career As A Stay At Home Mom
01/20/2016

My first career was a Stay at Home Mom. My husband and I chose wisely and still treat each other kindly, everyday, 27 years and still going.

We chose to build a family with me as the Stay at Home Mom and never looked at that choice as a sacrifice. I never thought of it as a sacrifice. When people say they SACRIFICE to stay at home with their children I wonder what is the matter with them! Of course their are sacrifices. I would have loved to go out for lunch or gone shopping the few days when all three kids and the dog were throwing up. But, I didn't.

When you have kids, you sign up for a job that demands a lot of tireless effort, patience and devotion to the family. This is including being your husband's girlfriend! How could this be news to anyone? I Loved the job.

Reaping the benefits as my adult children call often and enjoy visiting! Looking forward to grandchildren someday.
