Starting My Stay-at-Home Life

 

I just wanted to send a quick note to express my gratitude for the MAN in my life. Yesterday was a pretty big day for us. I'm a few weeks from having our first child and so it was my very last day of work! My boss got emotional about seeing me go and told me he'd miss me. I replied, "I'll miss it here too, but I think I'm gonna really love my next job."

When my husband and I got home, he wrapped me in a tight hug, thanked me for working so hard at my job all this time, and then said, "Now I have my housewife again!" He kept it up for the rest of the evening, looking at me with a huge smile and telling me how wonderful it will be to have me home. I've been so excited about quitting my job and being able to stay home with our new baby that I guess I didn't realize how much my husband has looked forward to it as well. I know some women might not appreciate hearing their husbands say things like, "My wonderful homemaker" and "Now I don't have to share you", but I couldn't be happier. I've always known I would grow up, get married and be a stay-at-home mom and I was so fortunate to find a man whose dream complimented mine. I joke that it's the reason I got a second date with him: he'd have a hard time finding a woman with that ambition so when I said it on our first date he knew he had to hang on to me. I know I chose wisely and now I'm looking forward to putting even more effort into treating kindly because that is what my provider and protector, my knight in shining armor, deserves.

Thanks for standing up for those of us who still want this life and continuing to convert those who don't realize they want it.
