RE: I Am SO Grateful To Be A Stay-At-Home Mom. Sure We May Be "Poor" Yet We Are Rich In So Many Other Ways...

No, you don't have a real job. You do have the most important job in the world though and that is being a mother to your children. So often children are raised by the preschool and then the K12 school followed up by after school care and finally the parents see them for a couple hours in the evening. Repeat. It's hard to have a true impact on your children if you rarely see them.

Being a police officer and now a school teacher I have a pulse on society and it's not good. Most of the issues can be traced back to the home. I'm so concerned with this that over this next school year it is my mission to replace as much of my income as possible so that I can stay home and homeschool my children. I want my influence on them and I don't want them subjected to a public school system.

You may be poor and not a land owner but you are doing the right thing! It looks like your children are being fed healthy meals and being raised in a healthy environment with loving parents. I wish all kids could be so lucky!

What a wonderful thing you will be doing @dwhntx! A huge leap of faith, yet I know you will succeed!! Thank you for being so awake and aware, and like you said, having a pulse on society. You don't have your head in the sand, you see with clear, open eyes, what is happening to our kids, and where the roots lay.
