This is NOT a Sacrifice


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 there 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 including being your husband's girlfriend. How could this be news to anyone? I loved the job and am reaping the benefits as my adult children call often and enjoy visiting! Looking forward to grandchildren someday.
