Growing up I never saw myself being a stay at home mom. I always thought I would never even have a child. But now after having Madi I am so blessed to call that my "job title". And I know soon enough I will be back to work and she will be in school, this precious time will pass. It will be something I look back on feeling thankful that I was able to stay at home with her.
All of this got me to thinking about what we hope our kids will grow up to be. Doctors, lawyers some high paying job. NEVER the job STAY AT HOME MOM. I thought to myself why? This has been the most important job of my life so far. I have done everything from assisting doctors with surgery to making pizza and this has by far been the hardest yet most rewarding. And I want Madi to be happy and at peace with her life. Education will run second place to her being a happy, spiritual, kind to others young lady. Life is short. I don't want her to be a slave to some occupation or spend her life trying to be perfect and feel the pressure of always bringing home an A. YES, I will encourage her to...but will find out why she got something other than an A before I punish her.
Just random thoughts of mine...happens often as a parent.

Amen! A's are far from important. Sure they look nice and have advantages but, the pressure of achieving them is extreme. My oldest son has always brought home A's. The bad thing is everyone of his peers knows him as being "super smart" They dont know him as anything else and it has caused major social issues for him. Thankfully we have a therapist that has helped him with that part of his life.
As far as your SAHM job performance review, my gauge is the smile I see in every picture of Madi. You have have far surpassed what you could have hoped for and I would consider you an expert in the field. I will put in a word with the king to get you a raise. lol
AMEN! Well said, Amy! I agree with you 100%!
BEAUTIFULLY SAID Amy!
You are a PERFECT Mama, INSIDE and OUT!
