My first job out of high school was working at a daycare while I was attending college. I am wonderful with children, however, I quickly realized I could not give the children the love, attention, and care that they needed and could only receive from their mothers. I made up my mind then and there that my children would have me as their caretaker. When my husband and I were courting, I informed him I would be a stay at home mom to raise our children. It was a deal breaker for me if he wasn't in agreement on the subject. He agreed it would be for the best.
We had 2 beautiful children and my husband has provided for us from day one. My children are now 16 and 13 and I've loved every minute of caring for them. I've always found little odd jobs to do at home that has brought extra income to add to our budget. I've managed to take care of these things when the children were asleep or at school. I love being a mom! And, I know my kids have received the care, love, and attention they needed because I provided it.
