I do know that my mom wanted to be home in time for us to get home from school, but we always got home before her. I don't understand how women can put down another woman for anything. We should be sticking together, although I have not heard any of my friends ever put down someone for staying home with kids.<br /><br />HeatherHeatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18184342717608985185noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8975543655113692584.post-1330163960184037962012-06-01T13:51:49.214-06:002012-06-01T13:51:49.214-06:00Great post!

It has only benefited my other kids, and their friends who have a place to come after school if they need one. It is not fun being broke but I love my life otherwise.:)<br /><br />Your pinned images are beautiful!Shabby chic Sandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07823848210658888319noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8975543655113692584.post-15121547203848278702012-05-31T16:34:42.446-06:002012-05-31T16:34:42.446-06:00Stay at home moms are more important to our societ...Stay at home moms are more important to our society today than ever before- they help prevent the breakdown of the family. I support them 110 percent!<br /><br />I have always been a working mom but I modeled myself after my mom who always worked to supplement the family income but found jobs that would allow her to work around her family obligations- not easy but so worth it!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8975543655113692584.post-65950420577009489722012-05-31T16:03:17.453-06:002012-05-31T16:03:17.453-06:00My Mom went to work when I was around 7 or 8 years...My Mom went to work when I was around 7 or 8 years old (I was the youngeest of three kids) back in the middle 1950s. There were times I wished she was a stay at home Mom but we all knew the extra money helped. There were no considerations from employers in the 50s for women with children. You do want you have to do to get by. My first job paid $1.25 an hour!!! We didn't have children so I worked our whole married life and now I'm enjoying retirement.

I raised 3 boys and I can say they raised me too BECAUSE they taught me about Creepy Crawly things. It was GODS plan that THEY cure me of my phobias for BUGS so I could be the Master Gardener I am today! OKAY working at home raising my boys I also spent LOTS and LOTS of time sewing for the Christmas bazaars. I would make enough goodies to sell at the holidays throughout the year. I loved it and my boys helped in ways that kept them busy yet had fun. We also raised chicken,hehe. That was a story of it's own, BUT FUN to look back at...<br />I LOVE your pictures as always. My Favorite it that kids bedroom that looks like a treehouse bed. LOVE IT!!!<br />Oh my first job had a salary of $1.75hr...BUT Hubby and I could go out for a STEAK DINNER for under $5...<br />Thank you for your ALWAYS GREAT Post...<br />Have a wonderful week,<br />Big Hugs,<br />DonnaDonna@Conghaile Cottagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10981329702564659603noreply@blogger.com
