That said, she had VERY different parenting ideas than my family, and let me get away with things that my parents definitely disapproved of.<br /><br />Also, when you hire a (long-term) babysitter, you are inviting their spouse and relatives into your family's life as well. Just something else to keep in mind.Jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12440971852812782688noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-617480612533506385.post-85196706201116581392012-04-30T01:22:28.864-04:002012-04-30T01:22:28.864-04:00Wow, your mom sounds amazing!

The mom who enjoys her work has a different effect on the kids than one who resents having to drag herself to work everyday.<br /><br />Pregnant and trying to beat the baby clock to finish grad school, I'm looking forward to being a SAHM at first. It's reassuring to know that these labels aren't permanent, and women today have more flexibility to scale their work commitments to be in sync with their families' needs.Jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12440971852812782688noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-617480612533506385.post-29140495479269900262012-04-29T21:54:53.990-04:002012-04-29T21:54:53.990-04:00All great thoughts!

As I sit here seven months pregnant with my first child and finishing my last Siegel paper, I don't regret even a little my decision to finish college. Being a mother doesn't just mean nursing and laundry (though it does mean those things). It also means creating a home, which means showing my children--boys and girls--how to be creative with the talents God has blessed them with.<br /><br />I recently heard of a sad conversation a friend had with a prof's wife where she confessed that she was worried about marriage because she thought it would stifle her creativity. The woman told her that rather than stifling her, marriage was traditionally intended to allow women to fill roles that men in their calling to provide can't always fill. Like visiting shut ins, helping at homeless shelters and women's care centers, and yes, furthering your education. The vision of the stay at home mom that so many people have as the woman who sits around eating bon bons while children frolic has lost sight of what it truly means to be a mother who cares creatively and well. Thanks for a good post!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03925325484743424755noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-617480612533506385.post-88333088911783840792012-04-29T18:12:13.360-04:002012-04-29T18:12:13.360-04:00Your mom sounds incredible.

I'm at a time now where I feel that I really need to consider how I'm going to bring up future children.<br /><br />One thing I realized in my own life is that whether or not the mother works or stays at home with the kids can really influence a child's own life. For years my mom was a stay-at-home mom, but when she started working again life was very different for my sister and I. One particular babysitter I thought of as my second mom, and once I actually called her "mommy" in the presence of my real mom, I think it hurt her. <br /><br />The most important thing though I think is that working moms be very, very careful about who they decide to let babysit their kids. I think it's best that it stay within the family, with a grandparent, preferably. I realize looking back that babysitters, especially those in the 14-19 age range, taught me and showed me a lot of things I shouldn't have seen at such a young age, just by the music, movies, and tv that they were accustomed to. <br /><br />Just something to consider as well.
