The reason that being a stay-at-home mom is being a good parent <em>for me</em> is because that's how I was made to parent, personally. We need women in the workforce too and I agree their place in their families and in society are every bit as important as a stay-at-home mom's <em>or dad's</em>. This post was about how a particular area of my life was draining me more than it should have, it was about balance in my life, not about the world revolving around my daughter. In no way did I intend to belittle the work of <em>any</em> parent in this post. If I did then I sincerely apologize. @Medea -Being a working mom is “like Jesus” too.

I have become truly sick to death of women who think their choice to stay at home with their kids makes them better mothers. Simply BEING in the home 24/7 does not make you a Good Parent...or, if it does, why does not that standard also apply to Fathers? If you only mean to say that anything that takes your time or attention away from your kids is an unnecessary (and indeed, a SELFISH )waste of time, why go anywhere or do anything non-child related,AT ALL? Helicopter Parent Syndrome,anyone? So…how is it that being a stay-at-home mom makes a woman “so like Jesus,” but working to support your family does not?

You summed up everything so nicely. Our families are more important than anything else, and if something is coming in and breaking the peace in the family, than that something has to go. Oh, but how I wish I knew how to bake bread! :) <abbr><em>Lauren’s last blog post..<a href="http://www.momliving.com/kids/rainy-day-blues" rel="nofollow">Rainy Day Blues?</a></abbr></em> I really enjoy reading your blogs!

We bake bread here and it's a wonderful thing. People have asked us to sell it but we can't imagine how exhausting it would be to bake for others! Plus, we have fears that baking larger orders would strip us of the joy that comes with baking. I think we overemphasize the monetary side of things that give bring us pleasure. Baking for yourself and the family is where the meaning is derived. I feel for you when I read this post. We bake bread here and it’s a wonderful thing.

When I started my blog, I would either come home from work and work on it for an hour, or I'd wait till my wife went to bed and work on it for an hour. After about 6 weeks I realized that wasn't working. My wife needed me to spend that time with her, and go to bed with her. Now I go to bed with my wife, and I wake up at 5:15 am to start writing my blogs. I really don't like getting up that early, but I love my wife. And its made a big difference. <abbr><em>Travis @ CMM’s last blog post..<a href="http://www.christianmoneymountain.com/2009/03/treasures-in-heaven.html" rel="nofollow">Treasures in Heaven</a></abbr></em> Love this posts because it can apply to so many things.
