I never learned ...College was not my thing either. I never learned how to effectively study, so if I didn't get it the first time around, I just didn't.<BR/><BR/>I go hot and cold about staying home. 1st dh tried to make me stay home, so I started child care in my home. Now, even tho I complain about my current hours of work, I do love it. I'm lucky tho, dh enjoys being the Domestic King of the Castle! I on the other hand, lack the domestic gene of desire when it comes to cleaning and caring for the home.QuiltingFitzyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15549596096039062349noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7555344617895972769.post-6454016079342249452007-07-21T02:38:00.000-07:002007-07-21T02:38:00.000-07:00Staying at home again is 'top of my wish list' rig...Staying at home again is 'top of my wish list' right now. I have just had a week's holiday (vacation!)from work, just to do 'nothing in particular', catch up on housework, clean and quilt. It has been wonderful. <BR/>We've only got a certain amount of energy to expend and I have to ration it out nowadays. <BR/>DH is retired already and i'm looking forward to being able to stay home with him.Lynda (Granny K)https://www.blogger.com/profile/00769451312708886145noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7555344617895972769.post-33904394161838948412007-07-20T15:11:00.000-07:002007-07-20T15:11:00.000-07:00Well, I'm blessed that I have never been "put down...Well, I'm blessed that I have never been "put down" for staying at home. Sure, my dad will sometimes "encourage" me to go back to college, but it's not my desire at this time. I'm open to the possibility that someday I might WANT to go back to college, but it's not now.<BR/><BR/>Otherwise, I've never been looked down at for staying at home. Maybe it helps to hang around people who do think staying at home is a good idea. :)<BR/><BR/>And to reply to your comment on my blog (your email address doesn't show), no, I don't really feel like I should have been born in a different time. I do feel like that I can encourage other women to stay at home NOW. Maybe we can begin a stay-at-home movement. ;)<BR/><BR/>I do feel like by the time most women realize that the workforce isn't for them, they're too "addicted" to the income they do bring in. But being one income from the start makes it so much easier - you don't know what you're missing (fancy house, new cars) if you never had it in the first place! :)Leah Spencerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16063458621042037769noreply@blogger.com
