I had a mom who stayed at home with myself and my elder brother and then went back to work with my 2 younger sisters. I became "Minni Mommy", and she became "part-time Mommy". My sisters where so drasticly different in both learning abilities, bonding issues and over all behavior problems, that I flat out will not work outside of the home. I have a Toddler's Church ministry at our church where we teach 2-schoolage and a Homemaker's For Christ ministry for stay at home moms. I will be staying at home even after my son goes to school next year. Yeah, the $$$$ is tempteing, but the welfare of my family is more important! Not to mention God gave me a child to raise, not pass off for someone else to raise. We are not wealthy by any means!!!! TRUST ME! We just downsized, do without more and get less! I would rather be happy than rich, and I would rather enjoy my child than have guilt orhave the possibility that one day my child may be talking about me on some shrinks couch! And trust me if you do it right, like God intended, than you will have more than enough to do at home! I praise God for my job as a Homemaker and am darn proud to be one, no matter what society says about it! -Angela M. Cook <>< Name: Email: Subject
