I can definitely see how those thoughts would creep in. ((Hugs))<br /><br />I have an MBA and I will be leaving my 13-year career to be a SAHM in a few months. I wonder if I will deal with some of the same feelings you are dealing with right now. It has crossed my mind. I wonder if I will be able to handle giving up 60% of our income (my paycheck) without feeling like a burden on our budget, and if I'll be able to fully recognize (in my heart) the intangible value of staying home with our baby.<br /><br />I'm really looking forward to being a SAHM. I just wonder what psychological issues, if any, will hit me once I do.Bethanyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13827630799330687593noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23467272.post-86712659541718117262010-01-25T13:51:41.786-05:002010-01-25T13:51:41.786-05:00Thanks for being honest. I care too!
The fact th...Thanks for being honest. I care too!<br /><br />The fact that society doesn't recognize the value of a woman pouring into her children, doesn't make it so. I know you know this. But it can't be said too often.<br /><br />What you are doing is priceless!<br /><br />What you are doing changes lives!<br /><br /><b>What you are doing impacts eternity! </b>Tammyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12045517118866436340noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23467272.post-36405806771362558502010-01-24T22:34:56.081-05:002010-01-24T22:34:56.081-05:00I care too!

I struggle in some ways, too. I...I care, Kathryn!!! I struggle in some ways, too. I've got a Bachelor's degree in Nursing that *I* paid for and from which I graduated summa cum laude ... although, I gotta say - a degree in nursing? Helpful in being a mom :)<br /><br />I think SAHMs are so terribly undervalued and under appreciated and I think, sadly, that it's going to be something with which we'll struggle a lot and for a long time. I love being a mom. I love staying at home. I love raising my daughter. Do I wish I got a paycheck? Oh yeah! Do I wish I got to leave the house and enjoy adult conversation in the workplace? Sometimes, yes! But mostly, I feel at peace being at home and doing what needs doing there. I certainly can't imagine both Brad and I working full-time ... when would *anything* get done?Kimhttp://kblog.theschellingerhoudts.canoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23467272.post-85540186180710324272010-01-23T23:07:03.727-05:002010-01-23T23:07:03.727-05:00I care!

Except maybe in high school :)Maishahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09350226229153941211noreply@blogger.com
