Let'...Wow, I'm a month behind on your blog! Let's start from the beginning. Yes, Allyson looks cute regardless of how silly she's dressed. Such a cutie. I'll pray for your sister's c-section, been there done that- twice, and it's no fun. A spring baby, wonderful! Now for the working mom bit, just don't let it or anyone bother you. You are an outstanding person who refused to give up. You had a wonderful dream and thanks to your perseverance you grabbed hold of it and didn't let go. Your daughter will respect you for that. Your husband already does. You and Mike raise your child in a loving, warm, stable, safe, educated, and most importantly Christian home. The infamous addage "letting someone else raise your child" is up to individual definition. Define working? I stay at home with my children but I also work as a floral designer, decorator, and writer. Weddings, events, and the desire to be published keep me busy. Would I own my own floral shop? You bet. Would I travel to sell a book? You bet. We all have dreams, just different ways of achieveing them. You have quite a life Miss Dawn!

As long as she is cared for and nurtured, you are fine! The only wrong choice would be if it were for selfish reasons and that is NOT what I see here. You are doing a great job! <br /><br />It is so sad how we are all criticized no matter what choice we make. I was told one time that a Stay-At-Home-Mom was a waste of life. But that is what I have always wanted it be. <br /><br />If it is right for your family, and as long as you are all seeking God, what is the problem with it? <br /><br />Good for you for standing up! You are very driven. Me, I never wanted to go to college, so I didn't, ha!Kristenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01377041367975882464noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-236282952399180082.post-3790509514321126472010-02-19T16:00:58.130-08:002010-02-19T16:00:58.130-08:00love your snow pictures btw... we didn't get i...love your snow pictures btw... we didn't get icicles!!<br /><br />and as far as this post... i know you are doing exactly what you need to do for your family dynamic to work. every family is different, somedays I wish I worked and other times I know I'm doing exactly what our family needs me to do.Staciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01969449988600057713noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-236282952399180082.post-2167824121545854372010-02-19T14:36:21.083-08:002010-02-19T14:36:21.083-08:00I think that you are doing a great job raising All...I think that you are doing a great job raising Allyson. I sometimes feel bad that I am not working but I know that I am doing the right thing for my family situation. I think that everyone should do what's right for themselves and their family. Don't worry about what anyone else thinks. You are a great mommy!Andreahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05738458518072731249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-236282952399180082.post-78186978986207173722010-02-19T14:07:24.942-08:002010-02-19T14:07:24.942-08:00I checked out that link and it's a pretty weak...I checked out that link and it's a pretty weak argument. I'm ceratinly not going to quit my job based on what some ex-feminist thinks. Interesting, though. Like I said, this is MY choice. Stay-At-Home moms make a choice, too. There is no right or wrong.Dawnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01813017308101460186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-236282952399180082.post-45840238038437578662010-02-19T13:23:20.471-08:002010-02-19T13:23:20.471-08:00http://www.heraldscotland.com/feminist-pioneer-s-r...http://www.heraldscotland.com/feminist-pioneer-s-rethink-a-woman-s-place-is-in-the-home-1.826348Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-236282952399180082.post-53241631568301718892010-02-19T06:02:19.322-08:002010-02-19T06:02:19.322-08:00Isn't it awful that we feel we have to justify...Isn't it awful that we feel we have to justify ourselves no matter what choice we make?Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07427524100282734994noreply@blogger.com
