I know it hasn't even been that long since I started working full-time (6 weeks to be exact), but today, for some reason, got me "home sick" to be a stay at home mom again. I know it's a hard job and sometimes moms may feel like they aren't always doing enough with their kiddos or feel bored with it after awhile and feel like you want a break (the mom I'm referring to is me) but I so cherish the times I've had at home with my kids! I miss it all!! So other SAHMs out there- treasure every single day with your kids! There's nothing like being with your kids and seeing them grow every day!
I've also been around a lot of "daycare kids" (who have been in daycare for years), and I can tell some of them struggle with lack of attention or not the right kind of attention at home and it shows at school. Parents need to be there child's first teacher, not the other way around! I'm glad I can help support my family's needs but I would never want to be a full-time working momma for long (by choice). And don't get me wrong about working mothers; many, many women do it and if that's what their situation requires at the time, because of whatever circumstances, (like me for instance) then so be it. There's absolutely nothing wrong with that! I just personally would rather be at home to raise my kids if at all possible.
I found a quote from an article in the Ensign magazine (June 2013) that I found especially relevant to my life right now. It said, "Trials come to each of us. Living righteously does not mean that our lives will be free of problems or sorrow, but no matter what hardships we face, we can always rely on Heavenly Father and His Son. They will not forsake us, and They will give each of us strength to face whatever may come..."
One trial I am facing right now is having to work full-time. But I know that it is for a short time (relatively speaking) and that I really Can do "hard things through Christ which strengtheneth me".
