Stay At Home Moms
Quote From: jettavI love my job/privelge of being a stay at home mom and I and my husband work together to meet the needs and even desires of our children through love, respect and honor towards one another as well as them. I believe our children will grow up to know that their parents love and care for them and strived to do the very best to help them to grow and mature into good productive and caring adults. Children are smart and they will learn to give credit where credit is due, they know who is there for them and they learn the attitudes and desires, as well as the effort from both parents. No parent can fool their children, they may be able to manipulate and play their sorry games for a while but as the child grows older and wiser, they will know the truth and they will cling to the parent who cared for them. I see this over and over again, some paretns definetly need to wise up and step up to the plate for their families or they will certainly have regrets later in life. My 4 1/2 year old will be starting preschool on the 8th of Sept, which actually starts ont he 6th but she is going to miss because we will be traveling home from vacation. I think this vacation is more imporant to us a family as we very rarely take one and hubby is in great need of one. I don't worry about my daughter going to preschool as she will be around familiar faces and is a socialable little thing, though I will miss her those two in a half hours, 3 days a week, I am looking forward to spending a little more quality time with my youngest, 2 1/2 year old. Some one suggested that I put her in a center to give me a break, I say no way, school will come quickly enough! I chose to stay home with my children and she deserves all the attention that my oldest has received. I am thankful that God put this desire and will to be a stay at home mom in my heart. to be perfectly honest, I am putting my daughter in preschool becasue she wants to go to school and play with her friends. LOL You would think she didn't have playmates, she is ALWAYS playing with friends two days a week which doesn't count play dates , neighbor kids, and kids of friends who we see often. She entertains her self well also and has plenty of "pretend" friends too, she will definetly make every ones day, even at preschool. She is such a delightful child (though she does have her moments of course) and I am happy that I(and of course with her daddy's help) was the one to get her to where she is to day and not the system. I personally could never imagine putting my little ones in a daycare center at such a young age, I wouldn't have the heart to do it, starting them in school when they are older is bad enough, I miss my daughter just thinking about it. Homeschooling is definetly still an option for us but we will cross that line when we get there and in the meantime, I will be happy for my daughter going to preschool and at the same time I will continue to teach and enjoy my little one at home, she aint going no where LOL.
