Not trying to continue the chaos, but just want to say...I admire ALL women who have the ability to stay home and make a living, I do believe that is the intent God had in mind when he made man and woman. Not saying I don't agree with a Mother having to work outside of the home or choosing for that matter, to each his or (her) own, it's not up to me to judge the choices of another, however...I did work away from home for the first few years of my kids lives and I carried a lot of guilt, I don't think anyone made me feel guilty and it was definitely not society (society pushes in the direction of two career minded parents pulling in equal money) I felt guilt because what I was doing (leaving my babies in the hands of another) was against how I felt I should have been raising them. I know, seems I am a hipocrit ? I am....the very thing I rely on to make money and keep my business going is also the one thing I find hardest to come to terms with, Mother's going off to work and leaving the Baby with another. This is a job a hard one, and it earns a paycheck, but it is also second nature to most women, because we were made to nurture and love children. When I do my job, it really does feel like a blessing, because although it at times is quite difficult and stressful, it is also like second nature.(how easy do you think life was for farm wives years ago with 8+ kids and responsibilities around the farm to boot, and they didn't get paid) I was meant to be a mom, and a wife, all I do is open my doors to others children and do the same thing I do with my own family and earn a paycheck on the top. A blessing is what it is for me plain and simple. Wouldn't trade any outside job for this, ever!
