When Homemaking looks different than you expected | our positions are changing . . .

[@Ago2904]

Single, no children, never married, Swiss, former project manager for social projects in Africa, now recovering from long covid the past 15 months. My world is very small as I’m housebound at the moment. Your podcast entertains me and makes me feel like I got to „travel“ and discover new „worlds“ from the comfort of my bed. TY ❤ for the laughter, encouragement, inspiration despite our very different walks of life.

[@jodymartin588]

Homemaker, girl-mom, photographer. On a side note, Jayna, my girls cheer when Miss Jayna is their substitute!😊

[@wendygaonach3908]

Married with one son, Canadian but living in France. My son returned to Canada to study last September, so I'm truly an empty-nester. I've become a homemaker, after a long career in Canada as a law librarian - huge difference. Moved from city to countryside. Still figuring it all out 9 years later. I love your podcast, as you show me a whole other lifestyle, and you remind me of the Mennonites in Kitchener-Waterloo, and those I have worked with in the past. You've also reminded me, in my secular country, that God is still here.

[@pinkglasses52]

I love how God creates us all so differently... I've been a mom for almost 14 years, and never have I ever had the luxury of being in a position where I was worried about wasting time! The job literally never stops, and I'm SO tired. I WISH I had as much energy as the two of you have! 😂 God bless you ladies ❤

[@neliajohnson9023]

Married 24 years in May, I’m a homemaker/homeschool teacher, & have three children, ages 21, 18, & 13. I’m very involved with the women’s prayer group at my church & I help in the preschool class one Sunday & Wednesday every month.

[@marseillestephenson1984]

I love the idea redefining who you are/what you do with your time. In a year & a half my youngest will be in kindergarten and I’ve been thinking a lot about how I want to spend my time. When my twins were little, my neighbors were grandmas that served me so much and I want to be just like them. What Jana said about the being the one they can call when they need anything really resonates with me. I’m the mom of 8 and I’ve spent the last 19yrs devotion it my time to my kids and love it. Yes, there are so many hard things with kids, and a lot of behavior issues right now, but this is the life my husband and i dreamed of!

[@carolwhite1466]

Christian, Wife of 46 years, Mother of three adult girls, Gnomie (grandma) to four grandchildren. Retired nurse. More than three words~not always a rule follower! Today we bought our next home, hopefully our last home, a Villa. 💛 Megan, you are WAY too hard on yourself! Give yourself time to recover from your pregnancy and birth and your rebirth as a mom of four. You do not need to be superwoman. Lean on the Lord, sweet mama. 💛 Love your new ministry, Jayna! Can’t wait to hear updates. 💛 It’s the same in our area of Missouri~married at Bride’s home church and then go wherever the man takes you or you jointly decide to go together, of course! Usually the man’s place. 💛 My dad always called my mom a “scrubby Dutch” because she was always being ‘productive’. I inherited that from her, too. I’m telling you…learn to NOT be that way. It is important to NOT get your worth from what you do and that you’re able to rest, even though there are still things that “need doin’”. For Megan, Jayna and all over-achievers! p.s. meant no offense by my term for Dutch, it was said by my father. p.p.s. Can’t wait until next week!

[@AlineLiveSimplyLiveHappy]

I am French, my husband is Italian, we live in England and I am a Spanish teacher. Have been for 30 years and love it. Not a believer and not a mum but love your videos. ❤

[@cjt8915]

Wife, mama of 5, homemaker, and homeschooler. I love your conversations! Megan, just as an encouragement… I had several stressful pregnancies, miscarriage with my first, 2nd was a twin pregnancy and we lost one at 21 weeks then bed rest till a month from my due date. The next was drama free and then another twin pregnancy when our oldest was 4. Thankfully it went very well other than the constant monitoring and our boy was on oxygen at first. All that to say the emotions you are going through are very understandable! I had so much anxiety after my twins were born. I had a lot of help but so much depends on the Mom and 4 little ones is a lot to juggle! You will eventually get back to normal! Focusing on the truths of God’s promises are so helpful! It was difficult to focus on reading longer passages of scripture but having a verse or two to cling to helped so much. I was single until I was 28 so feeling like my life kind of stopped and I wasn’t doing much to change the world was also a struggle, even though I loved my babies so much! Now that my youngest is 5 I’m surprised at how quickly that baby stage went by!

[@TheMennomilist]

I think even non-Mennonite families, traditionally have where the women move from where they live to where their husbands are. My brother's wife moved across the country for my brother nineteen years ago. I am involved in a mom group where several of the woman have moved from other states to live with their husbands (and one is moving across the world for a couple years because of her husband's job). I feel it is rare a man will move to his wife, but it happens sometimes (though I can't think of examples hahaha). I enjoyed the conversation. What I do: Married almost 20 years, 2 teens and a baby, stay-at-home mom, but I am also ten years a resources adviser for a non-profit fighting human trafficking issues. I have run my own photography business (did for 13 years), was a youth leader and Sunday school teacher for ten years, and am a certified life coach (mainly health/wellness and carbon footprint reduction/decluttering). I have a lot of passions and hobbies haha. I homeschooled my two teens until a couple years ago (and worked in retail during that time) and will homeschool again.

[@bethrobinson6361]

I hope my kids remember our Christmas traditions. Christmas is my favorite holiday and I go all out with decorations and other family time traditions

[@Carolina_Cheesehead]

Jayna, I’m a substitute teacher and I LOVE it!! I work three days a week and the other two is for my home and family. It’s a flexible job, you’re not tied to a daily schedule as a teacher is, and you can have time to keep your home and family life as much of a priority as you need to. Being a substitute is such a blessing!

[@HoneyImHomemaker]

We need good substitutes!

[@celia5854]

Your personalities and the way you express yourselves is different, but the different perspectives go so well together in this podcast!

Full-time in Children's Ministry, part-time baker, and Bible school student. Also, a single homemaker for myself and my sister with whom I live. It isn't traditional, but I find a lot of joy and fulfillment in my style of simple homemaking for the two of us. Love your videos. They are so fun to watch and I always come away with something to think about.

[@Nicole_Forrest]

Be assured - having goals and wanting a challenge is not just a Mennonite trait ❤

[@dorothyvdh]

Christian,Happily married for six years and counting, homemaker, full time university student in medical physics. We live in the Netherlands and we met when we were both working in the same fish factory. Bought our house when I was 18, saved more money to remodel, got married when I was 20, got back to school to study 2 months after we got married. had to start somewhere near the bottom, but I'll recieve my bachelors degree in 3 months from now, so we're getting there. The reason I went back to school is that I really felt in my heart that that was where i should go to use my talents. so although not a traditional route, to us, it is the route that God has planned for us, and so we are taking it, even if it means that some christians wont understand why we didnt take the ''get married-have kids-route.'' (as if recieving children is a guarantee)

[@lauramater4098]

Teacher, daughter, dreamer! I moved to central Illinois to teach at a rural Mennonite school this year and have been learning a lot about myself and growing so much in my faith. So fun to listen in on your conversation again!

I've been a homemaker for 10 years. My son is 10 & my daughter is 8. Recently, since I have more extra time I've been working about 10 hours a week. It's the perfect balance. I'm a mom first, but I do love the balance of both. I'm a speech therapist working with the pediatric population. I love being able to help other families while my little ones are at school. ❤

I raised 2 sons along with my husband and now have 6 soon to be 7 grandchildren. I was blessed with a wonderful job because my boss was very family oriented and working outside the home worked for me. My suggestion for you girls is to do what you love. My family always came first!! (save your money for retirement as it flies up on you)

Also wanted to add, I’m a traditional Catholic, we go to the old Latin Mass, and it is also common for us to have our weddings in the girl’s home parish and settle wherever the man lives. There are so many things that you ask if they are a Mennonite thing that we commonly do as well.

What kind of training or skills does one need to do a job like you do, and do you know what the job market is like?

My life is best summed up as “a blessed farmwife/farmgirl”! Married for almost 8 years now. We both grew up Mennonite, I definately take good values out of it but it is far from the only way to live a Christian life!! So far we have decided not to try for kids…& contrary to traditional Mennonite ways, it is not selfish to not have kids or to wait. There is SO many different ways God uses His children! I love kids, don’t get me wrong. But it’s not always Gods plan for everyone! I love your podcasts & how together you portray 2 different ways of thinking but they flow together!

[@stephaniecampbell6811]

Never married. No kids. But spent 40 yrs as a pediatric nurse. So I had plenty of time with children. Then retired and swung pendulum completely the other way.

Married 27 years, mom of two. Homemaking, homeschooling are my primary focus but I do sew headcoverings and make woodworking things on the side for a bit of side cash via Etsy and my website. I do KZbin too but it isn’t monetized or anything. Mostly that is small change as hubby is by FAR the breadwinner here.

[@abbeyyoder4591]

[@victoriapascoe8359]

I personally think the moving to the bread winner’s location is typically outside of your community. Even as we are 7 years married we move base on the job with the higher income. My sister and her husband are the same way they moved across the country bc of my sisters job. Definitely all decisions are made seeking God’s will. ❤

[@melaniesnyder9165]

Such a coincidence the "homemaker helper" I was putting my children to bed before watching this episode and (like I do every night) I was remaking their beds. Even though they make their own bed every day... by the time I come in to tuck them in they have it all pulled apart and twisted. (Yes, it can get annoying haha) but every single night I remake their beds over them while they are in it and tuck them in. They always seem to snuggle into their pillows in anticipation of the warm covers being straightened and tucked in around them. And I suddenly found myself wondering if this was something they would remember when they are all grown. And I suddenly hoped so much that it was something they would remember very clearly and how cozy and safe they felt every night as I tucked them in. Then I went to do my regular house reset before going to bed and turned on this episode I'd been waiting to watch. 😊

I think that first question is totally homemaker related! It's a good reminder for zooming out and thinking about what's actually important in our homes. Is it if everything is perfect? Probably not. More likely it's the little things that happen often or the moments of time together. I think it's a good vision question before answering more action oriented questions 😊

Soldier (veterinary tech to the military working dogs, the horses for the morale, welfare and recreation area on the military installations, research), I worked at a zoo before I joined the military, then got a bachelors degree (was going to be a science teacher), but ended up liking social work instead, then I got burned out from that and I am a licensed insurance agent now. With all of my jobs, I have worked or volunteered in other jobs as well. I am single and I fill every day except for Sunday (except when I was a vet tech and social worker and even my current job- I have put in lots of weekends). I am single - no kids, was married for a year and I left that because it was abusive. I then turned my focus on what God would want me to do vs finding a provider and that was NOT what I wanted at all. I wanted to be a teacher and have 3 kids. So I am very mixed about what I am doing in life. I have a huge student loan (I was in the military before they started making free tuition / books AND paying for housing while veterans were going to school. So even though I was in the military overseas and everywhere (Central Amercia and Asia) I had to pay for school. I did get 14,900 but that went by very fast. I went to a private university. So most of my money goes to rent and the rest to that student loan which ballooned. So I just work and work. I also volunteer a lot. I work with a pro life agency. I live in a tiny apartment and used to struggle with the hampster wheel until I found this channel which helped me make my work to death life pretty and intentional so thank you ladies for being good role models, even if we have very different circumstances.
