Here's my take...it's a huge coupe on Satan's part that in our ultra-modern society women are made to feel guilty for actually having the oppurtunity to stay with their children all day....gotta give it up (read: sarcasm!)to those hardcore women libbers who have left professional women and stay at home women with this huge guilt complex for the respective roles in life...sure the women's lib movement was good in many ways too, but its obvious effects on family life are so clear...<BR/><BR/>you and every mother that reads this are in my prayers because being a mom is a gift that should be treated with the upmost respect however their work/not work journey is playing out....<BR/><BR/>sorry to ramble so long but what a hot button issue!!

Think of it this way - you have the PRIVILEGE of staying at home with Princess - and the responsibility of training her 'in the way that she should go'!! Enjoy your time with her and don't get overbusy - no matter how much guilt you have. Because (and I can attest to this!) - her years will pass very quickly! She'll be walking out the door before you know it! Treasure these days and enjoy them! Be a keeper of the home - and if there's time for more, great!! Missed ya!<BR/>DawnADasahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06964809093643110074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19136595.post-1159536803063520892006-09-29T09:33:00.000-04:002006-09-29T09:33:00.000-04:00I'm so sorry you have a guilt problem. :) I don't...I'm so sorry you have a guilt problem. :) I don't have that big of a problem saying no when I know I'll be over-commiting myself. Hoping and praying you can back off of some things and get more done at home! :)<BR/><BR/>Love ya!Sarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13263959875678510621noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19136595.post-1159505882562909082006-09-29T00:58:00.000-04:002006-09-29T00:58:00.000-04:00WOW! Guilt is powerful because just this week my ...WOW! Guilt is powerful because just this week my hubby and I were talking about that. I feel the same way. I just keep telling myself that God has given us the sufficient resources for me to be able to stay home. I did the same thing...over commit. And it was awful. I will pray for you about this because I know....and still have those guilty things come up. BUT....remember, you get to teach Princess, you get to teach her the way that she can learn, you love her and want the best for her and you're giving her mommy and me time....and that is priceless!<BR/><BR/>Lots of Love!Kelleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13595128658517792161noreply@blogger.com
