Amen! You know the demonic is at play when the most beautiful and unique gift women have, carry and deliver new life, is being shamed and devalued to oblivion!

I’m so grateful for your voice of influence in this direction. Raising our children in the 90’s-early 2000’s it was a challenging time. People often asked if I worked or stayed at home. Well meaning people over emphasized the boldness of my choice “not to work” as if they could never do that. Now in hindsight, our strategic choice to have a primary parent at home is validated. We have three remarkable adult children and their stories are full of moments when I just happened to be available for something unspoken when it really made a difference for their future. I could have missed precious, fleeting moments of opportunity otherwise and there were a lot of things to navigate through and around. No family is perfect but it was worth all the exhaustion and every sacrifice we made. There’s so much to be had, too!

God bless our mothers and fathers out there. People need traditional families now more than ever!

I see too many parents not enjoying their children. It’s such a shame. I felt those were the best years of my life raising my boys as a stay at home Mom, who did work part time only when my husband could be home with them.

It's definitely most rewarding to be where your heart is. I started working nights after 10 years of being a SAHM. I'm still home with my kids during the day and homeschooling my older kids. We need the extra money to get ahead, but I'm not working for passion or enjoyment, it's for the benefit of my family, like just about everything else I do. It's much easier to plug into work and get in the zone of one task at a time than to be constantly available to multiple kids while still trying to make progress happen. Throw in social things, school stuff, extra curriculars, and the constantly dirty dishes and laundry and lost shoes and the always coming next meal to plan and prep. To me, working IS easier than managing my home, but there's no place I'd rather be and I miss them when I'm gone.

So true! My mom stayed at home, and she knew how to keep busy!

I remember being called lazy by my partner for working as a kindergarten teacher (2-6 y/o) while he was working in customer service at home “you just have to play with kids all day”. Made my blood boil, raising kids should never be looked down upon.

That would have been my mum. She was a very loving and very hard-working Catholic woman. I lost her to Cancer in 2008. May God grant her eternal rest 🙏

For those who say it isn’t the hardest job must simply not understand the role. Every day I must surrender that part of me that thinks discipline is done a certain way because I grew up in an abusive household so my mind wants to imitate what it saw as a young girl. Every day I must surrender those unhealthy habits that I picked up as a young girl that kept me safe. Every day I must pray and rely on God to work in me to be the mother I need to be to my children. Every day I must learn , every day I must allow God to correct me and renew my mind. It’s HARD. But motherhood is the most beautiful, fulfilling ministry I will ever get to do.

Being a stay at home Mom is one of the hardest, yet rewarding jobs in the world, it's 24/7 !

Not every mom, there are many who abandon/discard their child after being born.

Some moms are so humble that they don't even consider being a mom a job. This makes me think, and men never say this, but dads and also moms work multiple "jobs." Moms can be counselors, nurses, teachers, chefs, etc. Dads can be guards, cooks, guides, play different sports, spiritual leaders, etc.

If we don't have good mothers at home raising there children, it doesn't much matter what the rest of us do. That job is one of the most important of all.
