Thank you! It is depressing to hear all of the things that people say against being a homemaker these days. I am one of the few of my friends who actually wants to be a homemaker, the rest all want to "fulfill" their lives by having a career outside the home. But for me, I feel that it is the woman's God given talent and job to be in the home. Thank you again for defending our position!

I am a homemaker to!! With a 10 week old daughter. I am honored to be blessed to be home with my daughter and to focus on serving her and my husband. I believe when a women is doing God's will in the home, everything else falls into place. Ministry, career, whatever God has for you will just happen when you are place God first, then your husband, then you children. Everything outside of that will just fall into place.

I'm with you 100%. I am a nineteen year old women who dreams of being a homemaker.

Thank you!! I get tired of feeling like less of a person for staying home with my husband and children. I have always felt that is why God gave me a family...so that I could make the choice to stay home and take care of them. I feel so blessed to have family support in this choice. My mom thinks it's great that I can stay home, and my mother-in-love thinks that it is wonderful that I want to take care of her son and grandchildren. Home-schooling was also a choice my husband and I made, so that my girls actually learn something besides "social skills" (I don't think my girls lack those)

My mom worked full time when I was a kid, and I wanted to stay home when my own children were born. I was lucky enough to marry a man who agreed with this and was willing to do what it took to keep me home. Still, I encountered some real hostility from working moms who were dismissive about my choice. I started to treat them as though I pitied them. "Oh, you work in a law office as a secretary? That's too bad. It must be hard to leave the little ones with someone else all day. I'm so sorry. I guess life isn't always fair." No one ever had a come back for that.

What an awesome article. This is so helpful, and true. I too have been struggling with the idea of homeschooling. Not sure what to do still.
