Keeping My Values


I've been listening to you from the time I was around 17 years old. I have always loved your show and your conviction to standing for what is right and not following the crowd. 

My mom stayed at home to raise my brother and me while my dad worked, sometimes three shifts, as a police officer. I knew from a very young age I wanted to be a mom and would not settle for any man who didn't have the same mindset about me staying at home with our future children. I was dating a man who was talking marriage and I explained to him I would work until we had children.  He laughed and told me I'd never find a man who was okay with his wife "sitting around all day while he was hard at work." I told him if I didn't find that type of man, I guess I just wasn't going to get married at all. I broke up with him then and there. 

I'm am very fortunate to have found my husband, of nearly fifteen years, who does have the same values as I do. I have been a stay-at-home mom since my first bout of morning sickness 12 years ago. It is the best job in the world. My generation seems to have it all mixed up. I can't even imagine sending my 6-week-old baby into the arms of a nanny or day care for them to do my job. Your influence, along with my mom's influence are the reasons I feel like one of the very few moms nowadays who has everything put together just right. I am so blessed to have a happy husband, happy kiddos, and the life I always dreamed of. Thank you for all you do and your encouragement for us stay-at-home moms.
