RE: Going Where Priorities Take You.
Love your take on raising your children, and not dumping them off on someone else to raise. When it was time for @farm-mom and I to start our family, we didn't hesitate when making the decision that she would give up her job and stay home to raise our children. This decision would have her taking on even more responsibilities that would require hours and hours of overtime, motherhood.
With little feet pattering all over the place and 4 additional mouths to feed, she worked harder than myself, as she was always on call.
Money was tight, but as we look back we realized all of those sacrifices were well worth the efforts.
They grow up so quick and before you know it they are moving out. to have spent so much time with them during their formative years has paid off in spades.
You guys did it RIGHT, at least in my opinion @minismallholding
I think the moving out bit which is looming behind us is the scariest part yet! Financially this is also looking like the hardest time too, with so much uncertainty in the job market.
Having the children leave the nest was sad and just a little scary. The scariest thing was when our children first got their license to drive, now that was scary.
Oh yes, my eldest has her license! Youngest is currently learning. My eldest is the scariest; over confident.
Mothers work really really hard! Nice to recognize that @thebigsweed. Not many men out there see that. It's a tough job!
Not only do most men not realize just how hard the other half work, men in general could not do the job that women do.............
