I knew there was something about you I always liked, we are birds of a feather! ;)
My husband's mom worked and he used to tell her he was going to marry a woman who would stay home with his family and do "traditional" stuff. She would loudly say "You just want a slave, you'll never find it!" Funny, I don't feel like a slave, I always wanted to stay home and raise my family and financially we can afford it. My children are the biggest argument as to if they are better off. We are complimented on them regularly! They are sweeties!
Congratulations!
(You've chosen the harder job: I wish being a full-time mother (and wife) were as easy as that most have as "corporate employee")
Ditto! Birds of a feather, not birds in hand! ;) You always hear stories about mothers-in-laws asking "Can she cook?" At least I know what the answer is: YES!
