[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, change the way you speak about yourself!  You are valuable.  You are important.  What you do everyday matters.  There is nothing more important than being available for your children.  They need you more as teens than they did as young children.  And, they’ll need you as adults.  I just returned from helping my oldest and my DIL. I spent two weeks with them after she had a complicated delivery.  I’m so grateful I was able to care for their three year old and help with the newborn while she recovered.

Being a SAHM/SAHW is rewarding and important work.  Managing a home takes time.  I’ve worked outside the home and I still work part time.  I have no issues with women who choose to work.  But, you should NEVER feel less than for staying at home.  [/quote]

How many hours a week do you work and what do you do?[/quote]

I cut back from 30 to 15 about a year ago.  I’m a personal trainer and yoga teacher.  I have a masters in exercise science.  I worked full time for many years.  I SAH for many years.  There are definitely trade offs to both.  But, my self-worth has never been tied to employment.  I have so much respect for people  who work outside the home and for those who stay at home.  I strongly believe that work is love made visible regardless of where you do your work. [/quote]
