I gave up my career to be a homeschooling mom.

Nonsense! You gave up nothing. You changed careers ... for the better, IMO.

The idea that changing careers from some paying office job to wife/mother constitutes "giving up" something, or "settling" for something less is part of the feminist twaddle that has infested our society and degraded it.

You are right, I didn’t even realize that I let that creep into my mind.

Thanks:)
