Great story! As a SAHD myself I can relate. I don't think any goal could be better than the one you mention at the end of your story.

Love it. I was raised in daycare because my mom was single. It was tough on me, but I understood the necessity of it, even at a young age. But I could never figure out why people with two parents were there in daycare with me. I still haven't figured it out.

What a terrific story, shows what life is really about. When I was an Evangelical, we were taught what our priorities should be: God first, family second, job third, not for its own sake, but to support your family and home, make it possible to have a good family and home and community.

Since I entered the Catholic Church and started teaching Catholic groups, I teach that to my adult students. It challenges them, each and every one, but once it starts to sink in, they love it!

Thanks for telling your story. I found it through Jennifer's Et Tu blog.

There are many ways in which this is our story as well (differences too, but my husband is the stay at home dad who freelances writing on the side. And happy.). Thank you.

Amen. I need to work from home.

Matthew - conversion is never easy but always worth it! Thanks for this story, it is great writing and encouraging.

I have a similar story of how I had to choose love over my own desires for money and success. I haven't regretted my decision for one. I am guessing that you don't either.

Peace.

As a single woman with several single friends, I'm wondering if we could talk the pope into re-thinking this ban on cloning? Cuz we need a few more fellas like you to go around. Blessings.

I love this, "....looked around the room to see if someone had said or done something or thrown something at her." You guys are just like that - but happily the love always comes through in the end. Great work. Thank you!

This post should be required reading for all new fathers. "Mr. Dad, here's how to give a bottle, change a diaper, rock to sleep . . . oh, and read this about truly being a parent to one of God's children." Good stuff.

I am so sending this to my husband... it puts into words what we both know (Me, because I'm a ranch kid; him, because he's a Navy Brat).
