“I was told staying home was a waste of my education”.
I was told that as well. I was actually told, “I thought you were smarter than that?” Personally, I never had a job or a class that was harder than trying to be a good Mom. That is the hardest (and most rewarding) job that I have ever held or will ever hold. IMHO.
I’ve learned more from being a stay at home, homeschooling mom than I ever have anywhere else.
