I am 68 and I look forward to your posts and almost always learn something in my heart when I read what you have written. I was and still am a great admirer of Jacqueline Kennedy and here is something she said that I never forgot: “If you bungle raising your children, I don't think whatever else you do matters very much.” ― Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis <br />Thanks, again for sharing your time and your thoughts with the rest of us!

I feel staying home with my little one what I need to do. Things are very tight for us right now, so so tight, and I would appreciate any good thoughts and prayers. But still, despite this, I know my place is looking after my little guy at home. <br />Thank your for all your lovely posts that solidify the meaning of motherhood to me :) R a c h e l https://www.blogger.com/profile/03675313499761506812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19629645.post-65996926958003620412014-04-01T17:28:50.677-07:002014-04-01T17:28:50.677-07:00I am going to quit my job.

I just have to trust (and have faith!) that my family will be okay and those student loans will get paid off and that I'm not crazy for giving up a career because it just feels empty anyway while I'm missing out on being just a mom.

I remember times that were so tight-I was thankful that my husband had collected all his change in a glass jar during high school and college-I remember counting that up and thinking "We're rich!" Or..enough to get through the next month.<br />I love your story Stephanie-you already know that though. Your passion for motherhood and your essay on being a supermom is one of the things that got my mind churning to collect these stories. So inspirational and encouraging.

I...you were so right about not going back to work. I couldn't have imagined going to work and leaving my babies and letting someone else raise them. Grampy was still in school and had 2 mor years. We lived on 90 dollars a month until Bob was born and then it was 125. We did not have help but lived in campus housing on campus and that helped a lot. Of course times were hard but wouldn't trade for anything because I loved being a wife and mom. I feel so sorry for girls that don't. You are the perfect mom .and wife.
