Dear Dr. Laura:
My first career was as a stay-at-home mom. My husband and I chose wisely and still treat each other kindly every day, 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.
When people say they SACRIFICE to stay at home with their children, I wonder what's 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 I'm reaping the benefits as my adult children call often and enjoy visiting.
Looking forward to grandchildren some day,
Sheri
