Womankind doesn't need to be saved or fixed or changed. We don't need to prove ourselves by juggling a career, motherhood, and a slew of other accomplishments. We don't have to wear power suits to be powerful. Our power is found in our femininity, in the wombs that give women the ability to be sacred chambers for new life. Everything that makes women women is what makes them valuable to society. We don't have to contribute to the GDP to be productive. Mothers produce souls -- souls that have eternal value. And women who never have children of their own are still spiritual mothers, helping and nurturing society's underlings.

This is all true. While raising a family we kept our expenses down by not spending outrages amounts of money on vacations, clothing, cars, high priced electronics, etc.....AND it costs money when mothers go out of the home to work. However the cost of everything has skyrocketed over the past 20 years plus our country has moved from a mfg. economy to service oriented which means lower salaries, thus requiring two incomes. Granted, people spend money on 'things' they do not need and for that they are paying the 'price'. Families must look into how they can scale down expenses so mothers can stay home and nurture.
Amen.
This is super! Thank you. :)
Thank you for sharing this. I am a stay-at-home mother an am a member of a fabulous non-profit support group for at-home mothers called MOMS Club www.momsclub.org which has been a big help.
Oh, I wish I could remember that. I often find myself apologizing when asked why I don't work out of the house. Thank you for sharing this!
My dear friends, I am glad we all feel the same way.
When I was a young mother I felt my work was constantly being interrupted until I realized that the interruptions were my work.
Oh how I wish I had heard this when I was a young woman. Thankfully I did wake up but not soon enough..
I feel the same relief and regret as you, Sanctus. I spent so many years in college, which is a hard job in and of itself. Finally came the day when I decided I was doing to be a wife and mother, period. I quickly realized it was the one of the best decisions I ever made, but like you, I wish I could have understood the truth of the matter long before.
Sadly, sometimes wisdom comes late.
