Finding My Match

I've always loved your program and your conviction for standing for what is right and not following the crowd.  My mom stayed at home to raise my brother and me while our dad worked as a police officer.  I knew from a young age that I wanted to be a mom and would not settle for any man who didn't agree that I would stay at home with our future children.

I dated a man who was talking marriage, and I told him I'd work until we had children, and then I'd stay at home to raise them.  He laughed at me, telling me I would never find a man who was okay with his wife "sitting around all day while he was hard at work!"  I said I'd take that chance even if it meant I wouldn't get married at all.  I broke up with him then and there.  

Well, guess what?  I DID find a man who had the same values I do, and we've been married for 15 years.  I've been a stay-at-home mom since my first bout of morning sickness twelve years ago.  It's the best job in the world.  My generation seems to have it all mixed up.  I can't even imagine sending my six-week-old baby into the arms of a nanny or a daycare facility for them to do MY job.  Your influence, along with my mom's influence, is the reason I feel like one of the very few moms nowadays who has everything put together "just right."  I have a happy husband, happy kiddos, and the life I always dreamed of.  Thank you for your encouragement of us stay-at-home moms!
