I apologize if I offended SAHM's. That was not my intentions at all! I was simply implying it wasn't something I could do again, even though it is something I long for. If that makes any since. I went into great depression and felt as though I lost me. I lost my independence and well just who I was.
I write this blog so I can look back and remember some of the greatest things in my life as well as some of the hardships that I faced and got through. It is somewhere I can collect my thoughts and freely speak my mind. It is not intended to be directed toward any individual to hurt or belittle them in any way. If that happened, I again apologize. It bothers me that people take offense to what I was saying as being aimed at them. Every one has there own desires and goals. Some mothers goal is to be a SAHM and watch their children grow. My goals are different. YES I want to watch my kids grow and I want to spend as much time as possible with my babies, but not at the extent that I would fall into depression and be no good to them.
I look at the way things are today as to what they were 6 months ago and am bothered by this. If makes me wonder if this is where I am suppose to be. I pray that God will give me guidance and answers.

I wasn't offended at all. Like I said there are pros and cons to being a SAHM just like there are pros and cons to being a working mom. It has to be a personal choice. I know a lot of people who couldn't handle staying home like I do, but for me it is perfect because I am not a people person as in if I had to deal with people outside my home on a daily basis someone might get hurt, haha. I am half joking about that last part. ;)
I was not offended either. I know that being a SAHM is not for everyone and that is ok.
Diana, I know it is important to you that you be at home with your kids, and have a first hand in raising them, I also know that because of your childhood it is important for you that your child doesn't want for anything and that you can make sure that they have more than you had. I know that you have a drive to be a successful business woman no matter what field you are working in and that is ok too. God instilled all of those wants into your heart and it would be disobedient of you not to follow your heart!
Thank you for understanding and taking the words right out of my mouth and knowing exactly what I meant. I love you so much. You know me better than I know myself and that is scarry!!!
Hey, while I was recovering from my accident I was a SAHD. Loved being around my kids but I was going nuts.... so I wasn't offended either. Keep smiling... I have learned that no matter what you say somebody will always be offended.
I think it would be cool to have a SAHD. A co-worker of mine (she's a design engineer) is married with two kids that she and her husband adopted. He was a SAHD until the kids were settled in school. Now, he works part-time for the same company but has hours that correspond with school. How cool is that?
