I Respect Mothers That Stay Home And Raise Their Kids

“For decades, devoting one’s life to being a stay-at-home mom was considered socially backward. Now, however, more and more women with lucrative careers and ample opportunities are leaving it all to stay at home with their children. …..There has been a cost, however, to all the decades of denigrating motherhood to second-class status.....

[b]Preparation[/b] -- Women today generally aren’t well prepared for motherhood. For most of us growing up in the ’80s and ’90s, our educations didn’t center around the skills needed for motherhood....

[b]Isolation[/b] --Motherhood today involves a lot of loneliness and isolation. Gone are the neighborhoods filled with growing families, where every other house had a mom at home with her kids......

[image][b]Society Doesn’t Value Kids[/b] - We live in a culture that simply does not value children...Our culture tolerates children out of necessity, but it certainly doesn’t embrace them as a valuable good. It is hard as a mother to always feel that your family’s mere presence is a nuisance, whether at the grocery store, a restaurant, airports or trains and, yes, sadly, even at church....

[b]Generational Support[/b] - Perhaps the most overlooked element of motherhood today is that lack of generational support. Many of us don’t live near family, or if we do, that family may not always be so supportive of our pro-life choices. I know of several women who cringe at the thought of telling their parents that they are having another child.....

[I might add that when we find time to escape for a few minutes on social media we are often misunderstood, and sometimes in the most disturbing of ways. For example, when I share how I ( in a rediscovery of some ancient maternal wisdom which goes against the grain of the postmodern world) frequently give stinging reality checks to the bare bottoms 💥of my precious babies -- inorder to help instill the virtues of discipline, responsibility, respect and moral sense -- and maintain a semblance of order in the herd -- I am often treated like an ignoramus or monster --- or worse, there are people who (shudder) seem to be titillated.]

[center][image][/center]And yet, despite all of these issues, women are embracing stay-at-home motherhood. While from the outside it may just look like a slog (and on the inside, there are days and seasons when it might feel like that), few moms won’t tell you that raising their children is the most rewarding thing they have ever done.” [b]~ Carrie Gress[/b] [c=#BF0000]http://bit.ly/2kssGVo[/c]
I think it is so selfish of a woman to prioritise her career above her children
@AGirlNamedKim: I very much agree --and it is really a revolt against nature. The miraculous thing about women that sets us apart is the ability to bring human life into the world. To sacrifice that, and the care and formation of that life, is a revolt against womanhood and nature -- indeed against love.

[i]“The marriage union has always seemed to me to be an earthly shadow of the Blessed Trinity. As the love of the Father and Son is the Holy Spirit, the union of man and woman produces a child; the family is a little trinity of love.”[/i] [b]~ Servant of God Dorothy Day[/b] [c=#BF0000]http://bit.ly/1KVrnnt[/c]

I stay at home and really enjoy lookng after the children and my husband. He is very hard working and deserves t have me he when he comes home.
I agree with most of this. Good posting.

There was a lesbian critiquer of modern "feminism" at Harvard, Camille Paglia, I think, who said years ago that, if feminism actually MEANT what it claimed to mean--that women should be able to make their own choices--then the choice to be a stay-at-home mom should ALSO be embraced, if freely made by a woman, as well as being someone working outside the home in a career beyond mom/home-maker.

It is interesting that the feminism which only embraces non-"stay-at-home-mom" choices meshes well with underpaying everyone enough that many households REQUIRE 2 incomes.

I just read the heading and I agree....im old school that way....the man provides security and funds while the woman bring the kids up and makes the house a home
Unfortunately that is not possible for most couples anymore. The number of "breadwinners" (can support an entire family) has been steadily dwindling since 1973. It is not coincidental that the "liberation" of women and the birth of the "superwoman" began about the same time as this economic phenomena began --and it has only gotten worse -- many mothers now have to work two or three jobs along with their job at home. Then further exacerbating the situation are the social changes -- with the undermining of the family, sexual revolution -- there are more and more single mothers. I am very blessed and fortunate!!!

I hear you ....but if a man is in that scenario and the woman don't mind staying at home then the man needs to get a second or third income to do what he is meant and supposed to be doing

I am fortunate that my husband earns enough that I can be a full time housewife. We are trying for a family

Many of the old ways and values are making it back into main stream society .. .. ..
