Why Moms Should Stay At Home - Your Key To A Better Life...

[@marykaymorley8551]

Amen. So nice to hear someone supporting stay-at-home moms. It is a critically important "job". Being a homemaker and mom and grandmother was the best thing I've done in my life. It wasn't always easy. But with God first and my family a priority, things have all fallen into place.❤

[@terijohnson4834]

You ladies have hit the nail on the head! If women and men would embrace the gifts given to them at birth the world would be a better place.

[@ckmntaz]

Great show tonite! Missed the live😢

[@sharronpatterson8978]

That also using talents in the work force corporate world. Christians schools have many female teachers have children. What about Christian hospitals having medical staff and doc on staff. They are using their God given talents. Many seek direction from the Lord . They have practices and families. We could go on and on. Even to housekeeping of communities. God has our right place at the right time when we seek him including all work locations.....and yes even with small children.

[@bonnielaarman1878]

I am 77 and my husband is 78. I was a stay at home mom and don't regret it! We have four adult children who are responsible and treat us with respect. We had lean times, better times, etc. They are not perfect..nobody is, but they love the Lord and we stay close as a family. We have six grandkids and three great grandkids ...my husband wasn't always happy that I didn't work because his mom worked, but now he understands what is really important ...

[@deloresfishwick594]

I experienced the same. I was married in 1971. It was so uncomfortable in a group of women and I was treated the same whenever I was asked what I do and said at home mother. It was awful their reaction to that.

[@farmboy6185]

Totally agree with you! I stayed home with my boys and my husband supported me and helped me raise 2 wonderful men. We didn't want someone else to raise or influence our children. That was our job and we took it very seriously. My daughter -in-law now stays home with our 4 grandchildren. It's the most important job in the world!

[@Foxfirevideostudios]

As a mom of 8 children. I totally agree with you! Mom's need to raise their children! I have left my children in daycare and it has been a nightmare. My poor children were abused in daycare. I brought them home and quit my job and raised my own children because I finally realized NO ONE can love my children like I can!

[@janethorton889]

Amen! If more women were raised with this guidance, the world will be a better place.

[@davisholman8149]

Jill - you are right about giving our sons the opportunity to ‘take charge’ & lead to help the female person. I can visualize a little guy standing tall when helping a lady.

[@Momofboys4]

I unfortunately had to work when my boys were younger. What I wouldn't give to have been able to stay home and raise them! I can't stand hearing people judge wives and mothers who are blessed enough to stay home. It's an actual attack on the family home. I really hope and pray this video opens up the spoiled mentality. You ladies are awesome!

[@davisholman8149]

This is one of the BEST vlog they have ever done. Such an important topic. God wants our families to be secure with a mom in the home.

[@ilivebears]

I'm so thankful for my husband. I became a stay at home mom when we really couldn't afford it but we made it work. We have four children, 2 girls and 2 boys in that order. All of them had chores and they learned how to do things at home. We began to homeschool. It was so worth it!!! After all our kids grew up, I went back to work and felt in my heart that home was still my calling. My husband told me that he missed me being home because he knew that he never had to worry about anything at home. I took care of it. He also saw how I was struggling to balance home and work. I came back home. So many people asked why I was going back home. Someone even said " you should go back to college. You're too smart to waste your time at home." I'm still a stay at home wife. So, so thankful for my husband and that I get to be at home.

[@Midwestmomvolunteer365]

Sounds like a similar story to ours. Our life is just better when I am here taking care of things. In fact when we had a new gate put in in the spring, the contractor was hitting a bit of a snag and we were going through options to remedy the situation and he said don't you want to consult with your husband, to which I replied no he counts on me to take care of things like this.

[@christinewallace9251]

What a blessing of a man who knows and values your worth.

[@michelesmart4799]

Even as a divorced single mother, I did everything I could to limit the times that my children had to be in daycare. Now that two are adults and the last is a teenager, I don’t regret for a second the financial sacrifices I had to make in order to be with them. And they tell me they preferred the time over having “stuff”.

[@mubashrawasim3145]

How wonderful Beyond words Listening this in this day and age is a very powerful thing God bless you all🥰

[@maryn3099]

You ladies are so right! Growing up my brother and I were very blessed to have our Mom who stayed home to take care of our family.She took great care of us and my father worked very hard so we could have our mother at home with us. It was a great way to grow up.

[@mariaharrison2862]

I agree with everything. I was a stay at home mom for 5 years but I kept the house and kids clean. I always shop at thrift stores. And got a diploma online. Now my kids are still young but in elementary so I was recently blessed with a half time job right after my kids go to school and I am done by 1:30 come home to cook and clean. Thank God is working out for us. I am truly Blessed.

[@Sobermama927]

My kids are now in elementary and I am finding it impossible to find a job where I can get out at 130

[@familygrows7627]

Ladies, I feel so lucky to have come across both of you and your words of wisdom and support. I just lost my job a week ago and have been nervous asking my husband if I can stay home and finally have time with the kids. You gave me courage to do it!! Thank you! 🙏🏻

[@bu2ful119]

As a homeschooling mother, I appreciate the recognition that YES I do in fact WORK. I teach, cook, clean, manage the home and farm, and sometimes still have time to sleep! Living on one income means that my husband has to work so much that I'm constantly on the clock with my kids.

[@janetsplanet4161]

I am 60 years old. My biggest regret in life is not staying home to watch my children. Coming home from a very stressful job so exhausted I barely had any energy for my children. It is better to have less things and more time with your children it's your biggest investment.

[@mycupoverflows7811]

Thought of yall this week! I emptied a freezer to defrost it, then plugged it back in. Ran to Aldi and saw ~40lbs of beef and chicken on clearance!!! I was so excited! I was prepping for ham and turkey, but took the opportunity to stock up. Got beef for $2.25/lb and chicken for $.45/lb. Still have LOTS of room for ham, turkey, butter and other holiday sales! Edited to add... I'm so happy I've been a SAHM homeschooling my 6 kids since day 1. God has really blessed us financially, it's insane to me.❤ We are fairly wealthy now and it's really hard for me to stop being an extreme tightwad!

[@christinewallace9251]

Don’t feel guilty; God had met your needs and you can bless others in addition to your family 😊

[@sherriepawlikowski4935]

I became Ill, a single mom with 4 children. At first I thought my illness was my curse but later realized it was a blessing I was able to stay home with my children. It was very tuff. I think we made it throught the grace of God.😀🙏❤

[@kathrynl6592]

This is the best show yet I had to watch it twice! I am a sahm to a two year old and a 5 month old and I am thankful everyday that I am home with them. I don’t even let my baby in the church nursery because she just always needs her mom and dad as we are her safety and security, we just take turns playing in the lobby if she gets to be loud during church. Being home is so important. This inspired me to be more bold when talking to my friends and encourage them to stay home if they can and what a blessing and peace it can bring to the family.

[@peaceseeker5121]

Thank you so much for this video. I’m a stay at home mom to two sons, 14 and 16. We made this choice before they were born because WE wanted to raise them and not let them be raised by someone else. It absolutely matters. It can be hard financially, but so worth it. We choose our sons. They take priority when making decisions. No one in my friends and family circle chooses this way of life. I’m looked down upon by them and strangers when asked “what do you do”. But I do not care. My kids are worth it and I know we are making the right choices. Thank you for saying out loud how I feel 🙏

[@debbiegilbert1961]

God bless you for doing what is right for your children❤ I was a stay at home mom in the seventies so I know the feeling of been looked down upon but it is so worth it to put our family first ❤

[@penelopeprimrose90]

Kids don't raise themselves. What the "feminists" fail to see is that they are depending on other women to do the work they don't want to do. Things just run smoother for the entire family when mom is there to have dinner on the table and keep things running smoothly in the household. Most two income families are wasting the second income paying for daycare, sitters, house keepers and meals out, and running around with hair on fire trying to manage a hectic schedule. I've seen it with people I know, and the stress is tangible. Life doesn't have to be so complicated. I've been a stay at home mom for the past 20 years. I "wasted" my college degree, and wouldn't change it for all the money in the world.

[@Jeanie548]

To be cherished and protected and take care of your child is a blessing from GOD

[@suzannortega6671]

1000000% AGREE with this !! My 80 year old father helped us pay rent for a couple months while we made adjustments & found an affordable home so that I could stay at home with my children! I’m forever grateful that we decided to go that route. IMO it is selfish to not rearrange your priorities & not worship money.. also what Mike said is SPOT ON! I know 2 families that this happened to! It’s unnatural & bad design to expect the male to be the mom.

[@HomeLifewithRebecca]

I can’t thank you enough for this video!!! It’s everything I have been thinking but I didn’t know how to vocalize it . I’m a stay at home mom of 6 ages 9-18 and 4 are girls. You have helped me to find my voice. And also my kids great grandmother promised one of my kids help with a car as long as he went to college and he said no. He said he didn’t want to start off being in debt to someone and then being in debt from school because he felt like he HAD to go . He said he’s rather work a minimum wage job to get a car to fix up so that he’s doing it himself and not owing somebody. I thought that was smart and honest. He knows himself already at 17 and he knows college is not for him.

[@naomipatton6976]

The part about dads staying home….. you are right on!!! When our first child was a baby my husband was laid off and was on unemployment while searching for a job. I was working and so he stayed with the baby. It was awful!! He resented staying home and I resented not being able to be home with the baby. Praise the Lord that we were able to get out of this situation quickly. And we realized that he needed to work I needed to stay home

[@pantryonlyrecipes]

You should make a smaller clip of what your mom said about a homemaker doing all those jobs with no respect. That’s totally true.

[@christinewallace9251]

Great idea

[@roxannern9393]

My son tells all of his daughters don't worry about doing anything but being a wife and mom. He's married to his high school sweetheart (whom I just happen to absolutely love since day 1). I did tease my son and ask him if he was sure he wanted to marry a woman who's birthday is the day before his mothers...he smiled and yes he was sure. Of course, I let him know how I felt about her many times. She is wonderful! She is staying home with their 4 children now.

[@christinewallace9251]

You are so blessed!!

[@cocokai9661]

I'd like to add to what you were saying about choosing your husband/wife. Meet the parents/family before you get serious. And when I say meet them, I mean really get to know them. These are the people who raised your man/woman. These are the people who taught him/her right from wrong, good from evil. Really look to see what their values are. Look to see how his father treats his mother. See what the family dynamics are. Believe me, it will matter.

[@dianepereira1860]

So true. The way a father treats the mother is probably the way the son will treat his wife. Plus getting together at holidays...you definitely want a peaceful family situation.

[@nancyelizabeth8364]

Well that depend my husband and I both come from non Christian home my mom drank and left my dad and my husbands dad was a drunk and mean to his wife - my husband and I have been married 37 years and are happy yes we do have to work on things from our past but we have the Lord to help us and my husband actually became a pastor PTL

[@SusanOltmans]

@@nancyelizabeth8364 I was going to say the same. My hubby came from a non Christian home. They lived on the other side of the country from me so there was zero chance of getting to know them before we married. His mother is a narcissist. So there were some times that cause problems. He had to learn that not all women are like her. But before we married I saw how he treated MY parents, with great respect.

[@patriciabrayshaw5017]

Jill, I read “When Queens Ride By”. It was a blessing. It definitely changed my perspective. I feel like Jennie and work harder than my husband. I’m going to take a step back and focus more on my home and being feminine. Thank you.

[@MamaBearPrepper]

I’m so glad y’all are speaking on this.

[@carolinahomestead]

I went to grad school, accumulated student loans, and then had kids. Realized i made a huge mistake, threw every extra dollar at the loans and quit the month I was able to pay off student debt (it took a few years). I am incredibly thankful to be at home with my family. Wish I had known what I would be sacrificing before accumulating debt. I hope others will think twice before becoming a slave to their student loan debt. It traps so many young families.

[@karenm2641]

I had grad school loans, too. Worked really hard to pay off the last one and got a ten year loan done in four years. My dad helped me near the end to avoid the rest of the interest (he paid the last big chunk off and I paid him back). I was on schedule to pay it off the month I was getting married (I likely would have postponed marriage had the loans been a big burden at that point) and my dad gifted me the very last loan payment the month before the wedding. Now I'm a huge advocate for avoiding college unless necessary, and definitely avoiding student loans. I totally agree with you that it's a huge trap. God has been gracious and used my education for good, but I would not suggest to anyone that they get student loans.

[@nikkijubilant]

University is over-rated money pit. Wisdom comes through thinking critically. Learning to properly cook and clean is a blessing. ❤

Haven't missed a,show since 2018....This was one of the best! You are correct to say daycare will NOT love your kids the way a parent would.

Watched this with my twenty three year old daughter. Hearing everything I have taught her from someone else really hit home for her. Keep up the wonderful advice!!

[@bonnielaarman1878]

Once upon a time I filled a page with all the things I did as a wife and mother...the page was full!!😊

[@kathycombs3844]

I was a single mom and had to work but so thankful that my parents took care of them. They enjoyed the kids so much. When my children were grown my son had a accident when he was 19.He received a TBI and couldn't do anything but blink his eyes. I had gotten remarried. So I got to take care of him and keep him home instead of going to a Nursing home. I cared for him for over 12 years until God took him home. So thankful that my husband took care of us. It wasn't easy but it was the what I was meant to do. Take care of your children at any age.

[@christinewallace9251]

So sorry for your loss.

[@dedrascott2681]

I worked until my son was 2, then quit before my daughter was born. I did go back to work at their small, private school when my daughter started school, to help pay tuition, for 3 years just the hours they were there. Then I quit and homeschooled them. If I had it to do over, I would not have worked when my son was a baby and would have homeschooled from the beginning. The kids were 3rd and 5th grade when we started homeschooling. We have the best memories from those years and are so close. They are grown now, and I do miss those days. Not always easy financially, my husband is a minister at a smaller church, but God provided, and we sacrificed. Every sacrifice was worth it.

[@beethechange257]

Tawra and Jill, I loved this! Thank you for talking about this. Im so thankful to have been a stay at home wife and mother. My children are grown now, but it is my greatest joy and accomplishment to have homeschooled and raised our children. It has been a beautiful gift. ❤

[@kathleen6385]

This was the best show ever!!! I was a stay at home mom and I homeschooled. My husband was active duty, and we had little money. It's about priorities.

[@CookinwithMomna]

Awesome show! Its time people start bringing this to light. I stayed at home to raise my 2 boys. We are a military family that moves often so I homeschooled my kids. We moved about every 1 yr to 2yrs for 20 years. I got tired of taking my kids in and out of schools so I did it myself. It was the best decision for us. We became much closer as a family. My boys are best friends. We could take school with us every time we moved. They are in college and high school now. I get compliments all the time from parents at church and teachers at schools about how well behaved my kids are, kind, and helpful. My son stayed behind after class the other day to comfort another kid because kids in the class where making fun of him and he was crying. The teachers were so impressed. To me that is just what should be expected. Why don’t parents teach manners and how to be decent humans anymore?

[@debbiegilbert1961]

Thank you for having the courage to speak the truth. When I stayed home back in the mid seventies there was a lot of disapproval but my husband and I knew we wanted to raise our children with me being home with them. I also homeschooled and it was the best decision we ever made. Again thanks for this truth👏👍❤️

[@lindaripp5902]

My brother was a stay-at-home dad at the whole time his son was growing up, and it worked for them. The mama worked overseas quite a bit and so the dad had a job from home and was able to take care of their son, who has graduated college now and moved on with his life.

[@christyhansen9342]

[@christyking5729]

Just got to watch the first 35 mins or so… and I just want to say good job. I’m sure you’ll get some hate mail out of this, but it’s truth. I remember as a 7th grader standing up and saying what I wanted to be when I grew up, and the “why would you settle for that? You have so much potential and you’re so bright!”. I’m happily a stay at home mama of 6 and I’m so glad I didn’t let them push me out of my home. I’m literally living my dream. We need more ladies to take up the topic of what the “woman’s lib” movement stole from women. I don’t have to be a man or act like one to have value. I am valuable being exactly what I was created to be. I don’t have to leave my home to live up to my “full potential”. Thank for the encouragement! Blessings! And some day I will buy your cookbook! Do you ship international? (Mexico)

[@impishmisfits6960]

100000000% agree with you Tawra! My husband and Kids constantly thank me and show their appreciation for me always being there for them when they get home from work and school. My son talks about his friends being alone and changing for the worst as they get older because of no parental supervision. Good kids breaking under pressure doing bad things just to fit in SOMEWHERE so they're not lonely .... breaks my heart, it truly does :(

[@juliephelps7616]

My mom worked after i was in 4th grade. She had to. She became a widow when i was in 5th grade. Now she always had me in the kitchen with her. Cooking and cleaning was my job, and she would have my older and younger brother outside doing chores in yard with them. Did i grow up with an independent streak yes, first husband expected me to do it all. I am remarried now and my second husband and i do things together, yard work, household chores, and all things. I will not say we are equal at all, but we work together to accomplish the tasks to be done. I can actually rest now with him. I no longer have to try to do it all and the tasks are more enjoyable now too. We can laugh, flirt, and enjoy each others company while doing the chores together. There are no small kids here, they are grown, and we both work full-time. The cooking is done as batch cooking so we eat leftovers through the week as a timesaver. This is an awesome subject and i wished more young women saw it and listened to the actual message. ❤

I will soon be a divorced mom of older teenage girls. But I will never regret my 25 years because without it I would not have them and for 9 years I was able to stay home with them. The best years of my life.

[@Myeverydaywifelife]

I believe that when both individuals work it puts a strain on their marriage and no one is running the household, that’s a job!

[@kathylovejoy2569]

Oh my Mom worked, and I came home to an empty house everyday. The only company I had was my border collie dog. He was not only my company, but my protection. As we lived further out and it was dark around our area. Only 2 neighbours. One my friend, the other older people I didn't really know. My Dad was a fisherman, but he also ran around on her, while he went out on the boat. But I was usually alone until 10;00 p.m. at night. I was doing terrible in school, but had no help from anyone. I was afraid to ask at school, and my parents didn't care, about my grades. I finally had to quit school at 16, because of panic attacks at school. I just couldn't go. So it was a case of go to work, or go back to school. Luckily I found a good job, that I liked, but it was really hard work. So I had no feelings really for either of my parents, when they passed, because they had no feelings for me. Everything was for my sister who was 6 yrs older than me. I was just a second thought. I worked until our Daughter was born, then quit and stayed home with her. I did get some work I could do at home, but I was not going to have my 2 children come home to an empty house, like I did. I got to enjoy our children. They were much happier as well.

[@judithscharf6318]

I went to work when my son was five. I can see both sides. I’m happy I was home during the early years. Not everyone can afford it. I’m a teacher. There is a set amount of child care leave with insurance. If you stay out longer, you don’t get the insurance or salary, but they hold your job for a set amount of time. If you stay out longer than that, you lose your job, and jobs are hard to find.

[@vegetariansrock99]

I didn’t have children to have someone else raise them 🥰. When they’re at school full time then sure I can work but when they’re home, so am I xx

[@Myeverydaywifelife]

I’ll say this since starting KZbin 8 years ago I had no idea that they were so many stay at home moms. In the circles I run in on KZbin most moms stay at home. Every mom I knew before starting ( in real life lol) worked outside the home except my sister which I was always jealous of. While I had to work the first 13 years of our marriage luckily I worked at daycare and could have my son with me etc but I was so so thankful I was able to quit working when my son was 13. And let me tell you it also saved my marriage. Me working put a strain on our marriage. We were both so much better off mentally after I quit working. I did work though so my husband go to college and he worked too but we had no college tuition debt afterwards!!! We have been happily married for 38 yrs.

[@kathryndockrey1477]

It is so nice to hear other voices, who think very similar to mine. The issue now, is most couples no longer even get married (at least in Canada). Going to college and racking up debt for nothing, they would be further ahead if she got a full time job out of school, and was frugal until marriage. Build their 'nest' before having kids. Stop with the endless wasteful spending. Learn to live within your means.

[@85breeze]

I love it when you guys speak the hard truths that so many people need to hear. I am a stay at home mom and my husband make arounds 100k a year and has his own business and we have 4 kids plus an exchange student this year and we live on half of that, it can be done! We even have a paid off house before we are 40. our food budget is 180 every 2 weeks, it's tight but can be done if you make your food and are frugal. Making a budget and a shopping list and living within your means are so important, so many people want all of the luxuries, but the children suffer, which means the future generation suffers, so we need to sacrifice to make a better generation than we had. thanks for all of the great videos over the years.

[@ubwaterman]

Love this video!!! spot on!! we need more of this!!! well said ladies. Sher.

[@Anita-silver]

So grateful for Jill saying that about not taking over for the husband in bringing in income.

[@BellaCinco]

My mom provided us with the life of luxury! And I always told her I wanted her not the stuff. I have forgiven her for choosing money over me. I told her money is helping me be a housewife/ mom and I’m thankful because my husband pays for the bills and my inheritance pays for the extra/investment. Have to make lemonade of what I was given. I know what I was missing so I’m given that to my son. All kids would rather have their mom at home. Don’t lie to yourself and most importantly don’t put your money goals ahead of your babies.

[@dianepereira1860]

I asked my kids if they wanted me to work full-time so we could afford to go on nice vacations and buy the newest technology....without hesitation they both said they rather I be home with them and didn't care about "stuff".

[@crystaljones13]

I’ve been on both sides of the coin and everything you’ve said rings true for me. I am currently a stay at home mom, and I love it. It has never made financial sense when I did work. I also believe that I have lasting emotional neglect “traumas” stemming from my mother being a working mother. My father was a stay at home dad due to his disability. Although I am grateful for what he did for us, there was something missing that has affected me into adulthood.

[@suzie2080]

I had downloaded the book you suggested the last time you had given it to us for free. I never read it. I have read it now. I can't agree with you more on the book or being a stay at home mom. This is coming from a woman who worked all her life and just retired. I have said so many times over the years in the live comments and on the comments at the end of a video, "if I only knew then what I know now". I can't go back but I certainly hope this reaches some women before it's too late. At the age I am I guess the only thing I can do is to serve lovingly and not look like a slob just because I'm home. I hope you don't get a lot of negative comments because I've always said the world would be a better place if moms could stay home. I guess I would say now that the world would be a better place if moms and wives WOULD stay home.

[@mycupoverflows7811]

Oh. My. Goodness. You described my life. I was an honors student, my parents basically said "no choice, you're going to college." They paid for it 100%. But it was a waste of time and money. I was basically biding my time until I met my husband (at 26, which felt ANCIENT to me). I would have done soooo much better in classes on cleaning, home ec, budgeting, cooking, home preserving, creating menus, child rearing, etc. I had to learn all that on my OWN!!!🤦‍♀️

[@ckmntaz]

Great program tonite Ladies and gentlemen!!! 💯percent agree! AMEN ❤

[@hello_Tam_here]

I agree. Moms stay home. Wives stay home. Grandmas stay home. I am thankful my husband has made this possible for me. I told my daughter to make a list of qualities she wanted in a husband when she was in high school. She is now married to a wonderful man who wants her to stay home to raise their children. Choose wisely ladies.

[@conniebennett3378]

You are speaking the truth...thank you.

[@VickiLovell-g5f]

I totally agree. I'm 62 yr old and raised 3 children. I stayed home with them until my youngest was in school. the cost of day care for three kids was not even an option. I felt like my kids needed me and enjoyed that time so much.

[@Thehappyhomemaker]

Stay at home mama here ❤ I love your videos

[@kathrynlongstaff9282]

I have done all ways - homemaker, full-time Principal with kids. Full-time was brutal. I now work part-time as a teacher and get to drop off and pick up my little ones. I feel this for me is the sweet spot. I have all the holidays, evenings and just a little bit of a career as my hobby. We eat very well, we all have time for eachother and the house is in balance. I am extremely privileged

[@christinewallace9251]

Great balance.

[@lisaclark8761]

Thank you so much!!! This is one of my favorite videos from you all. ❤

[@Cybil017]

This gave me a gooooooood kick in the butt. I needed this correction. Thank you for your frankness and wisdom. You two are truly God’s vessels. Keep up the great work. Happy holidays.

I watched this program once I’m not sure if it was 60 minutes it 20/20 but something like that years ago and it follow this one family it showed how it was in there best interest financially ti gave the mom stay at home. They were actually spending more money on food, daycare, eating out forcconvince etc than the mom was bringing in and the followed her after she quit working and they were doing better financially with her at home. And if corse they family was more at peace and it wasn’t as chaotic etc kids were happier too. And parents too were happier!!

[@lifewithjenn1039]

Agreed!!!! They don’t even teach home making skills anymore.

[@tonifloerchinger3462]

On KZbin today, Money Mom talked about how all the wifes and mothers got together years ago for coffee at each others homes...discussed everything and helped each other. I remember this, and woudn't it be wonderful today. I agree having mom at house is a big plus in a chlids life and also a big plus for dad also.

[@holdinon7719]

They also took pride in their ability to manage the household and care for the children.

[@lisagreenleaf5678]

I really love watching y’all.

[@cynthiapaakkonen1142]

I thoroughly enjoyed this video. I agree with you 100 percent! Thank you for addressing this. So many of our society's problems can be traced to this issue. Women cannot do it all. They need to sacrifice for their children.

[@tabbyf367]

Times are changing! I am glad that I see more and more mothers staying home and IT IS a job and becoming more respected! We need to keep pressing on and making it more acceptable, dare I say even longed for! Progress is progress 🙏

[@taylorjbaz]

Thank you from the childless homemakers (not childless by choice personally). We get soooo much flack until people get tired of the subject and of us standing up for ourselves. It’s bad

[@LivingOnADime]

Tell the "mind your own business". That will shut them up!

[@taylorjbaz]

@@LivingOnADime amen-gonna try that one

[@daisytoromanzano8865]

@@LivingOnADimeI used to work until my hubby finished higher degree level while working in research. When he graduated he said I should stay home with our 4 yrs old at that time. Best decision ever. Got then our girl and homeschooled both. I don’t care about big houses or bi vacations, etc. Be fully involved in the formation of our children and teaching them about Abba’s goodness and we all able to help others was more fulfilling.

[@SusanOltmans]

Tell them to shut it. Women’s liberation movement was about women making their best choices. Guess what. You did. It affects them in no way what so ever.

[@capecodder8655]

Love listening to you so much!! You speak truth and have common sense!❤

[@caroleaustin8858]

Love love love this!!

[@janetjohn7618]

I was married in 1971 and after my first child I stopped working but my husband listened to his friends. He told me I should go to work so I did. It was awful, leaving my child with other people. When I had my second child and he expected me to go back to work; I showed him the figures. I would basically be working to pay someone else to bring my child up! So I stayed at home and worked on learning to be frugal and save money.

[@tamidumas8973]

You are so right on every level I lived it, my husband and I decided before having kids that I would be an at home mom but it’s tough toughest job I ever did and mom is right people look down on me for being at home, but those are the best years of my life. I’m now 65 and miss them terribly. I am, however, saddened by the fact that my daughter-in-law is planning on being a working mom plus she looks up to her mother, who was a working mom and said she’s not wasting her degree which makes me very sad. No one will listen to me. I am not respected enough. I guess like her mother so all I can do is pray they have someone come in the house and not go to daycare😞

[@joyfoster4292]

One of my favorite Tawra tips is to cook up hamburger meat, shredded chicken, or even shredded roast, and freeze in one meal portions so I can come home and quickly put a meal together in about 15 to 20 minutes. Also helps me to eat at home instead of grabbing some fast food knowing I can make it quicker.

[@teresamoore4126]

Some of my early memories were sitting on the staircase looking out the window and waiting for my mum to come home from work, I hated it.

[@homeliving58]

love this conversation im a very proud mom to three daughter and a son my oldest daughter is in college and she is driven right now on a career which i fully support my next daughter is a senior and she wants nothing to do with college her focus is on finding a Godly man and becoming a house wife and I am so proud of them both.

[@colleenpomeroy3024]

Amen!!! God Bless you SistAs for being Honest. When I was a single mom I worked in a daycare raising other’s children but I got to pick up my school aged child and bring her to the daycare for the after school shift. Then after TONS of prayers I met my husband to be. He told me to quit my job when we got engaged so we could raise my daughter properly. Thank you Jesus because now my daughter and her soon husband to be want her to stay at home and raise Real wives and Husbands to be. Family over money! Tomorrow my daughter, her husband to be and my son are going to a play date with some younger moms because they want to show them how Wonderful having a stay at home wife is. These 6 moms are in their 30’s and are soooooo excited to show our young son in law to be what it takes to be a Fantastic dad!!! We are raising our son to be a husband just like my husband was raised. Now we are headed to retirement and excited to spend all our time together again.

[@TheRuckFarm]

I get so grumpy when I hear people argue about what a “living wage” is. I am a SAHM. My husband works a modest job with a great work environment bringing in just under 70k/year. M-F 8am-4:30pm. We are a family of SIX. We live in a nice home and drive modest but nice vehicles. We have decent health, dental and vision insurance. We take ZERO government assistance. I know people who couldn’t fathom living on that amount for a family of three. It’s 100% possible IF you make it work. The problem is we have an entire generation who has grown up with all life’s comforts and feel entitled to life’s comforts and luxuries. It’s all about choices.

[@debbywelchel3893]

Listened to it all couldn't comment. YOU BOTH ARE EXACTLY RIGHT. Keep speaking truth . Thanks so much anybody with half a brain could understand what's going on.

[@marjoriebouwens6837]

I'm a stay at home mom and never considered anything different. Before we were married, my husband and I knew that I would stay home with any kids we were blessed with. And we also homeschool. My mom was a stay at home mom and had considered getting a job when we were all old enough to be home alone for a short time (like after school for a half hour or hour). My parents consulted a financial advisor, which they did regularly, and he told them that it wouldn't be worth it. She would have had to get clothes, maybe a car (we usually only had one) and it probably would have cost money for her to work. We never went without but we were far from wealthy. I wish my parents had shared more financial information with me as a kid. I ended up on my own without a clue and had problems. We don't have debt at this point except for our house but we definitely don't have any extra money. I am learning a lot from you and your videos. Thank you.

Samantha Venker's podcast and channel provides amazing research on the effects of daycare, daycare sleep and sahm. If you like this message you will also love hers.

[@ClassicalMommmy]

Preach!! Was raised by a stay at home mom and have raised 9 kids on one (not large) income. Sacrifices for sure but only material ones.

[@deanna4863]

I totally agree !! I was not able to do this I worked 3 days per month as a nurse my children are grown and out on their own and I now care for my mom who has dementia.
